Top crypto tax software compared

About Top crypto tax software compared

Crypto tax software sits between watching a portfolio and filing the return. Every brand in this ranking handles both, so the decision comes down to what the free tier leaves out, what a report costs, how many exchanges and wallets you can connect, and which country's rules the software applies. 20 brands appear here. A free plan for tracking is close to standard, and a downloadable report behind payment is the common shape. Paid entry prices in this category start at €3.99 and reach €86.82, with €42.97 in the middle, so the sensible habit is to track for nothing and pay only for the years you file. Country coverage matters just as much, because a report built for UK rules will not settle a return filed in India or Singapore. Support routes, the legal entity behind each product and how long it has been running round out the choice.

How we picked

Three weights drive the scores: cost at 35%, offer at 25% and trust at 40%. Cost looks at the entry fee for a paid plan and how much the free tier withholds. Offer looks at what you can do before paying, starting with whether a free plan exists and how many exchanges and wallets connect. Trust looks at the legal entity behind the product, the support channels you can reach, and how long the tool has been trading. Facts are taken from each brand's pricing page, about page, terms and support pages, with supplier directories and independent reviews filling gaps such as founding year and integration counts. Where sources disagree, the brand's own page wins. 20 brands were scored, and the order below follows score order. Partners would be listed ahead of scored brands, though this ranking carries none. Labels on the cards are computed from the data rather than written by hand.

Our top picks

1. 1. CoinTracking

   CoinTracking is in this ranking as the longest serving tool on the page, running since 2012, with 400 connections to work with. It covers both tracking and tax in the same account (tracker and tax) and offers a free plan, though Free plan; tax report requires paid plan means the report itself is a paid purchase. Support runs on chat and help centre, so chat and a help centre are the routes in. Set against Catax just above it, CoinTracking trades a lower published entry price for a much wider connection list, and against Recap below it, it is the safer pick if you file outside the UK, since Recap's country list is GB.

   • Free plan: Yes
   • Integrations: 400
   • Free plan limits: Free plan; tax report requires paid plan

   Pros

   • Covers both jobs in one account, a portfolio tracker and tax tool in tracker and tax.
   • A free plan is available, so the portfolio view can be used before paying anything.
   • 400 integrations means most exchange and wallet histories can be imported in one place.
   • Running since 2012 makes it an established name in this family of tools.
   • Support runs on chat and help centre, so live chat and a help centre are both there.

   Cons

   • The tax report requires a paid plan, so Free plan; tax report requires paid plan puts the tax side behind a subscription.
   • Support runs on chat and help centre only, with no phone line listed for account or tax questions.
   • 400 is a smaller catalogue than CoinTracker at 632 and CryptoTaxCalculator at 3,500.

2. 3. Catax

   Catax is in this ranking on age and reach for older holdings. Founded 2016, it is a long established name here, and paid plans start at $10. Its free side is a calculator for restricted transactions alongside a free basic service, so a quick figure is possible before you commit. Two things pull it down. Connections sit at 30, the smallest in this ranking, and support runs on help centre only, with no email or chat route listed. Against CoinTracking in the next slot, Catax has a comparable age but far fewer exchanges and wallets to connect, so a large portfolio means more manual work.

   • Price from: $10
   • Free plan: Yes
   • Integrations: 30

   Pros

   • The entry price of $10 is the lowest of the three brands compared here, ahead of €3.99 and $5
   • A free plan exists, and free use is the norm in this group, with 79.5% of brands offering one
   • The free tier is not a trial: a free calculator for restricted transactions and a free basic service cover ongoing use
   • Tax and tracker sit in the same product, so one account covers both jobs
   • It has been running since 2016, behind a named legal entity, Block Chain Innovation Pvt Ltd

   Cons

   • Support runs on help centre only, so there is no live channel listed for questions about a filing
   • The free calculator is limited to restricted transactions, so heavier use needs a paid plan starting at $10
   • 30 integrations trails 3,500 at cryptotaxcalculator and the 700 typical of tax software
   • Fewer integrations sit below the 300 median for portfolio trackers, so a large multi-exchange history is slower to import

3. 4. CoinTracker

   CoinTracker is in this ranking for its long record and solid reach. Founded 2017, it is among the older trackers on the page, with 632 connections behind it, well above the category minimum of 30. It handles both tracking and tax (tracker and tax) and offers a free plan. What that free plan does not include is the point to check, since Portfolio tracking only, no downloadable tax forms puts downloadable tax forms in the paid plans. Support is email, chat and a help centre on email, chat and help centre, with no phone route. Compared with koinx above it, CoinTracker brings more connections and a US base at US, while koinx adds phone support.

   • Free plan: Yes
   • Integrations: 632
   • Free plan limits: Portfolio tracking only, no downloadable tax forms

   Pros

   • A free plan is available, so a balance view can be started without paying, though the free scope is portfolio tracking only, Portfolio tracking only, no downloadable tax forms
   • 632 integrations across exchanges and wallets, more than the 30 listed by Catax and short of the 3,500 at Crypto Tax Calculator
   • Tracking and tax reporting in the same product, which saves moving data between a portfolio view and a tax tool
   • Founded in 2017 and based in US, so it is an established US operation rather than a new one

   Cons

   • Downloadable tax forms are not among the free plan features, Portfolio tracking only, no downloadable tax forms, so the paperwork for a filing sits on the paid side
   • A phone line is not among its support channels, email, chat and help centre, which cover email, chat and a help centre
   • 632 integrations sit below the 3,500 at Crypto Tax Calculator, so the widest venue coverage is elsewhere

4. 5. cryptotaxcalculator: best for Highest integrations count

   cryptotaxcalculator sits in this ranking on reach, holding the highest integrations count at 3,500 connections, well past the category middle of 700. That makes it the practical choice for someone whose coins are spread across many exchanges and wallets and who would rather not key in transactions by hand. It covers both jobs, tracking and tax, in the same account (tax and tracker), and it has been running since 2018. A free plan is offered, so watching a portfolio can start before any spend. The trade-off against koinx, ranked just after it, is that koinx pairs 800 connections with phone support on email, chat and phone and a stated country list, so breadth of coverage looks more complete there.

   • Free plan: Yes
   • Integrations: 3,500
   • Tool type: Tax, Tracker

   Pros

   • Integration categories include DeFi, exchanges and wallets.
   • Custom CSV upload is available for unlisted integrations.

5. 6. Waltio

   Waltio is in this ranking as the balance point between reach and price. It connects 700 exchanges and wallets, above the category middle of 700, and paid plans start at €39, less than the $49 asked by CoinLedger directly below it. Its free plan covers connecting exchanges and wallets with a dashboard view, while the tax report export sits in the paid plans. Support runs on chat and help centre, so chat and a help centre are the routes in, with no email or phone route listed. Against CoinTracker higher up, Waltio trades fewer connections for a lower entry fee and a dashboard first free tier.

   • Price from: €39
   • Free plan: Yes
   • Integrations: 700

   Pros

   • There is a free plan, so you can connect exchanges and wallets and read the dashboard before paying for the tax side.
   • 700 integrations put a wide spread of exchanges and wallets into the same account.
   • Waltio covers tracker and tax under a single subscription, so the tax work does not need a second tool.
   • Support runs on chat and help centre, so help sits inside the product and in its written guides.

   Cons

   • The free plan covers connecting exchanges and wallets and the dashboard view, while the tax report export sits in the paid plan at €39.
   • Support runs on chat and help centre only, so there is no phone line when a tax figure needs explaining.
   • €39 is the entry price, well above Blockpit's €3.99 and CoinGecko's $5.
   • At 700 integrations, the connection list is narrower than CryptoTaxCalculator's 3,500.

6. 7. CoinLedger

   CoinLedger is in this ranking on reach and support depth. It connects 1,000 exchanges and wallets, among the highest counts on the page, and offers a free plan, with the caveat that Free portfolio tracking; tax report requires paid plan keeps the tax report in the paid plans. Founded 2018, it has a few years of trading behind it. Paid plans start at $49, the highest published entry figure among the brands here that give one, and support runs on chat and help centre, so chat and a help centre are the routes in. Compared with Waltio just above it, you gain connections and give up the lower entry fee, while Koinly below it sits at the same price.

   • Price from: $49
   • Free plan: Yes
   • Integrations: 1,000

   Pros

   • A free plan exists, and Free portfolio tracking; tax report requires paid plan means the tax report is the paid part
   • 1,000 integrations sit above the 300 for portfolio trackers
   • Both tax and tracker tools, so holding values and tax reporting live in one place
   • Support runs on chat and help centre, with live chat rather than a queue of email tickets
   • Founded in 2018, so the service has a long trading-cycle track record

   Cons

   • Paid entry at $49 is well above Blockpit at €3.99
   • Support runs on chat and help centre only, with no phone line for complex tax years
   • The tax report needs a paid plan, so Free portfolio tracking; tax report requires paid plan narrows what the free tier actually covers
   • Entry price ranks 24 of 34 in the comparison, above the €26.31 median for portfolio trackers

7. 8. Recap

   Recap is in this ranking because it is the clearest specialist for UK filers. It is based in GB, operates through Recap Technologies Limited, and files for GB, so its reports are built for UK rules rather than a spread of jurisdictions. The free plan gives a capital gains preview, with full tracking and HMRC reports in the paid plans, which suits checking a position before filing. Support is the fuller kind, email, chat, a help centre and a community on email, chat and help centre. The limits are scale: 31 connections is among the smallest in this ranking, and that single market focus rules it out if you file elsewhere.

   • Free plan: Yes
   • Integrations: 31
   • Free plan limits: Free capital gains preview; paid plans add full tracking and HMRC reports

   Pros

   • Covers both jobs: tracker and tax shows tracker and tax work in a single tool
   • A free plan is available, giving a capital gains preview before any spend
   • UK focus with GB as the only covered tax country, so HMRC reporting is the priority
   • Support runs on email, chat and help centre without a phone line, so a help centre and live chat carry most questions
   • Registered as Recap Technologies Limited and founded in 2018, so the company behind the product is named and established

   Cons

   • 31 connections is modest against 3,500 and 800
   • GB limits tax reports to the UK, so buyers elsewhere have no covered market
   • The free tier gives a preview only, since paid plans add full tracking and HMRC reports
   • Support runs on email, chat and help centre only, with no phone line for urgent questions

8. 9. Koinly

   Koinly rounds off this ranking as a broad, well supported option with a stated company behind it. It connects 1,000 exchanges and wallets, the highest count alongside CoinLedger, operates through Koinly Pte Ltd based in SG, and offers support by email, chat, a help centre and a community on email, chat and help centre. Paid plans start at $49, level with CoinLedger above it, and the free tier gives a preview of your transactions while reports are paid per tax year, so the cost follows the years you actually file. The trade-off is that a longer history means a heavier bill, and the entry price is not lower than the cheaper tools in this ranking.

   • Price from: $49
   • Free plan: Yes
   • Integrations: 1,000

   Pros

   • One account covers both a tracker and tax reporting, per tracker and tax, so imports feed the tax year rather than a separate tool.
   • 1,000 integrations rank it at position 4 of 28 on our data, so most exchange and wallet histories connect directly.
   • A free plan exists, and the free preview holds a limited number of transactions, enough to see what a report would contain before paying.
   • Support reaches you through email, chat and help centre, so questions can go to a human in chat or by email.

   Cons

   • The paid entry point is $49, which sits at position 24 of 34 on our price from data, so cheaper rivals exist.
   • The free plan is a preview that stops at a transaction limit, and reports are charged per tax year, so a filer pays for the year they report on rather than on a standing plan.
   • Support runs on email, chat and help centre only, with no phone line listed, which suits self-serve readers better than those who want to talk it through.
   • Derivatives are listed as no, so traders with futures and perpetual positions need to check how those records are handled before filing.

What to look for

What a report costs

Paid plans in this category start at €3.99 and reach €86.82, with €42.97 in the middle. Compare that entry figure with how many tax years it covers before you commit.

What the free plan gives

A free plan is offered by 93.8% of the brands here, so the real question is what it leaves out. Portfolio tracking is the usual free part, and the downloadable report is the part that costs.

Connections and manual work

Integration counts in this ranking run from 30 to 3,500, with 700 in the middle. More connections means less keying in of transactions by hand.

Ways to reach support

A help centre appears at 100%, chat at 71.4% and email at 57.1%, while phone sits at 7.1%. Phone is the rarest route to a person here.

Which country's rules apply

Filing is jurisdiction specific, so check the country selector before importing. Every brand here handles tax, at 100%, and most double as trackers, at 80%.

Who stands behind the product

Tax software is a reporting tool, not a regulated financial service, and the licence count for this ranking is 0. Read the legal entity in the terms and check how imported transaction data is handled instead.
