Recap

What Recap is

Recap is a crypto portfolio tracker and tax calculator for investors, with tools focused on UK reporting as well as support for US tax forms. It calculates capital gains and income taxes, and its reports follow HMRC guidance on matters including bed and breakfast and share pooling. The tax report contains information needed for the UK Self Assessment SA108. Users can review historical crypto transactions, track assets, see portfolio value in pounds, and analyse investment performance. Data can be added through exchange API connections, on-chain wallets, or CSV files, including custom uploads for unsupported accounts. Listed integrations include Coinbase, Kraken, Binance, Ethereum, Polygon, Bitcoin, and Ledger Live. Recap says it encrypts data on the user’s device with AES-256 and keeps decryption keys with the user. It runs in desktop and laptop browsers, with Chrome, Brave, or Edge recommended. The browser extension connects the web app directly to exchanges and is identified as supporting Chrome and Brave. Recap has a free plan, while paid plans begin with Basic at £119 a year. Pro costs £219 a year, and Company costs £349 a year ex VAT. A 30-day money-back guarantee applies to paid plans.
