Awaken review

Yes. Awaken has a free plan, and it covers portfolio tracking only, with no tax report exports on it, per Portfolio tracking only, no tax report exports. Tax reporting sits on the paid plans, so the free tier suits following holdings before a report is needed.

Paid plans start at $99. The figure is the entry price rather than a mid tier or an annual figure, so budget readers may want to weigh it against the cheaper tax tools before paying for reporting.

Awaken's paid plans start at $99, while Blockpit starts at €3.99 and Catax at $10. On starting price alone, Awaken is the highest of the three, so anyone filtering tax software by lowest cost would rank it below both.

Awaken covers tax reporting in the United States, CA and AU. The list spans North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and the Middle East, so most filers in those markets can use it, while the free plan stays tracking only.

Awaken covers portfolio tracking and tax in the same account, per tax and tracker. That pairing suits people who hold across exchanges and want balances and tax handled together, instead of running a separate tracker alongside a separate tax tool.

Support runs on email, chat and help centre. Email and chat give a direct line for questions, and the help centre covers the everyday ones on its own. Readers who want a voice line will have to work through a written channel.

Awaken is run by Accrue Finance Inc., a named operating entity rather than an anonymous product, and it has been building tax and tracking tools since 2022. A published company name gives readers something to look into if they want to know who sits behind the product.

On starting price, yes. CoinGecko's premium starts at $5, well under Awaken's $99, so readers who only want portfolio tracking pay less there. Awaken's higher entry price buys the tax reporting side that a tracker does not cover.
