The five areas head to head
AI AnalysisFees & Costs
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.
Not enough reviews available.
Usability & User Experience
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.
Not enough reviews available.
Features & Offering
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.

Verdict
Both providers are practically level in our overall rating (4.6 to 4.5).
Koinly is especially valued for its beginner-friendly interface and broad coverage of more than 800 exchanges and wallets. The setup is considered straightforward, which is particularly helpful for users who are dealing with the tax reporting of cryptocurrencies for the first time. With support for FIFO, LIFO, HIFO, and ACB as tax methods, Koinly covers the calculation methods commonly used in Germany. DeFi, staking, and mining transactions are also automatically recognized and categorized.
The free portfolio tracking makes it easy to get started without having to pay right away. The mobile app for iOS and Android is positively regarded as a practical addition to the web version. The pricing tiers from USD 49 to 279 per year are considered moderate in market comparison, although the costs at high transaction volumes are seen as room for improvement. Koinly offers country-specific tax reports for more than 20 countries, underlining its international usability.
The German localization is occasionally described as room for improvement, as the focus is more on the English-speaking market. Audit support is also currently missing, which may be relevant for users with more complex tax requirements. Overall, Koinly is seen as a solid choice for beginners and users with medium transaction volumes who are looking for an intuitive tool with broad exchange coverage and mobile access.
Waltio is built for investors who want to get their crypto transactions in order without deep tax knowledge. Setup is guided step by step, and with more than 700 supported exchanges, wallets and blockchains it copes with portfolios spread across several platforms. DeFi is not an afterthought here: staking, lending, NFTs and airdrops are all captured in full, which is more than many cheaper tools manage.
The pricing makes for an easy start. Portfolio tracking is free indefinitely; you only pay once you want to generate an official tax report. Plans run from €39 to €999 a year depending on transaction volume – trade very actively and you will land at the upper end quickly. FIFO, LIFO and HIFO are all available as calculation methods, covering the approaches most European tax regimes expect.
The clearest limitation is where the product comes from. Waltio grew up in the French market, and you can see it in the export formats: alongside a general tax statement it produces France's form 2086, with no equivalent for other countries. Germany is on the covered list, but the depth of localisation does not match what specialist local providers offer. If you file outside France and need a report your tax office will accept without rework, check that before you buy.
On balance, Waltio is a sound choice for European investors with DeFi-heavy portfolios who appreciate the free entry point. For a purely German or Austrian tax case, a provider with stronger local coverage remains the more obvious pick.
