The five areas head to head
AI AnalysisFees & Costs
Not enough reviews available.
Importing is free: up to 10,000 transactions can be loaded, wallets and exchanges connected without limit, and capital gains previewed. Payment is only due when downloading the finished tax report, charged per tax year: around $49 for 100 transactions, $99 for 1,000, $199 for 3,000 and $299 from 10,000 upwards. Anyone needing a report once a year pays for that year only. As of August 2026.
Usability & User Experience
Not enough reviews available.
Setup is regarded as the most approachable entry point among tax tools: exchanges connect by API or CSV and categorisation runs largely automatically. Users with heavy DeFi activity still need to reconcile manually. As of August 2026.
Features & Offering
Not enough reviews available.
More than 800 exchanges and wallets are connected. Country-specific tax reports are available for the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany and around 20 further jurisdictions, which matters because the output has to match the local filing format. Portfolio tracking and iOS and Android apps round this out. As of August 2026.

DeFi, mining and staking transactions are automatically recognized and categorized. The free start with up to 25 transactions provides an initial overview before a paid tier becomes necessary. Pricing from 49 to 199 USD per year is considered moderate in market comparison and is viewed as fair, especially by users with medium transaction volume. The setup is described as straightforward, which makes access easier for beginners.
Audit support is currently not available, which may be relevant for users with more complex tax requirements. A native mobile app is also still missing — use takes place via the web version.
