Overview

CoinTracking combines imports, portfolio analysis, and country-specific tax reporting. It supports reports for more than 100 countries, including IRS Form 8949 and Schedule D, HMRC and ATO reports, and German formats such as DATEV, Elster, and BMF. That range helps users whose filing needs are tied to a particular jurisdiction; it does not remove the need to choose a plan with enough transaction capacity.

Imports cover more than 400 exchanges, wallets, and blockchains through API, CSV, or blockchain address. Automatic categorization recognizes DeFi swaps, staking rewards, NFT trades, and margin positions, reducing the sorting burden for users with activity beyond ordinary buys and sells. CoinTracking says its exchange connections use read-only API keys, which cannot trade or withdraw funds.

Key features

Tax and portfolio analysis

More than 25 customizable reports, interactive charts, and profit-and-loss reports make the service useful for reviewing holdings as well as preparing tax outputs. AI Tax Saver, a CSV File Converter, and Source of Funds add further tools, though their availability varies by plan and country. The feature range is strongest for users who need both record analysis and tax reporting, rather than portfolio viewing alone.

Security, apps, and support

CoinTracking states that it holds ISO/IEC 27001:2017 certification and stores user data on servers in Germany, encrypted in transit and at rest, under GDPR compliance. Its iOS and Android apps sync with an existing account. Tutorials, support, and a directory of tax professionals extend the service beyond the software; that directory includes 504 CPAs from 95 countries.

Pricing

The free plan costs 0.00 USD per free and is limited to portfolio viewing. It includes a 7-day trial with unlimited imports and requires no credit card, making it a low-commitment way to see the service before paying, but not a substitute for ongoing tax-report preparation.

Starter: 49.00 USD per year, billed $49 /year. It allows 200 transactions, 25+ reports, imports from 400+ exchanges and wallets, and two backups. This is the entry paid tier for modest histories; the 200-transaction ceiling is restrictive for active traders.
Pro: 169.00 USD per year, billed $169 /year. It raises the limit to 3,500 transactions and adds auto-sync, API access, and five backups. It is a more practical fit for ongoing activity that exceeds Starter's cap.
Expert: 259.00 USD per year, billed $259 /year. The transaction limit is selectable, and the plan includes priority support, auto-sync, API access, and ten backups. It suits users who need more capacity and faster support without opting for unlimited transactions.
Unlimited: 899.00 USD per year, billed $899 /year. Unlimited transactions, advanced tools, an expert session, and 20 backups target users with large histories who would otherwise outgrow a fixed allowance.

Corporate pricing is custom pricing. It includes three unlimited accounts, multi-client management, individual branding, and features for CPAs, accountants, and financial professionals. That makes it the relevant route for client work, rather than an individual plan.

Platforms

CoinTracking is available on web, iOS, Android, and through an API. The mobile apps sync with an existing CoinTracking account, while API access is included in Pro and Expert. The available platform range accommodates both desktop review and mobile account access.

Who it's for

CoinTracking is a strong match for investors consolidating transactions from many sources, particularly those with DeFi, staking, NFT, or margin activity, and for people who need jurisdiction-specific tax reports. Its corporate offering also speaks directly to professionals handling multiple clients. A casual user wanting only a simple portfolio view may find the paid tiers' tax and import capacity unnecessary.

Pros and cons

Pros: Imports span more than 400 sources and multiple methods, giving users with scattered records several ways to consolidate them.
Pros: Tax reports cover more than 100 countries and multiple named filing formats, useful for country-specific reporting needs.
Pros: Automatic categorization includes DeFi, staking, NFT, and margin activity, reducing manual classification for more complex histories.
Pros: Read-only exchange keys cannot trade or withdraw, limiting what those connections can do.
Cons: The free plan only supports portfolio viewing, so tax-reporting users need a paid tier.
Cons: Starter's 200-transaction limit can be too small for active users, while higher capacity costs more.
Cons: Several additional tools vary by plan and country, so not every user will have the same feature set.

Verdict

Choose CoinTracking if you need broad import coverage, detailed portfolio analysis, and tax reporting tailored to your country, especially across complex crypto activity. Its central trade-off is capacity: the free plan cannot prepare tax reports, and the 200-transaction Starter tier may not stretch far for active investors. If your history is large, price the higher tier against the transaction volume you actually need; if you only want portfolio viewing, the paid reporting features may be more than necessary.
