Compare
Six comparisons, written to send you to the right tool rather than to us. Every claim about another product links to the page it was read from, with the date we read it.
Most of these tools are good at something specific, and the fastest way through a comparison is to name the job first. If yours is in this table, the answer is in the row next to it.
| Tool | Use it when | Use us when |
|---|---|---|
| Koinly | You need a tax report you can file or hand to an accountant. | You want to understand the money continuously, not reconcile it once a year. |
| CoinTracker | You want taxes filed, optionally by someone else, and a tracker on your phone. | You want the whole picture and the reasoning behind it without paying first. |
| CoinStats | You want a mobile-first tracker, alerts on your phone, or a public API to build on. | You want profit and loss, cost basis and the full history without paying. |
| Zerion | Everything you own is on-chain and you want DeFi depth in a wallet. | Any part of your money sits on an exchange, or you want the two sides in one history. |
| Rotki | Your data must stay on your own machine, in software you can read. | You want it hosted and current, with matching and the full graph on free. |
Two of these do a thing we do not do at all: Koinly and CoinTracker produce downloadable tax reports, and if a filing is what you need, one of them is your answer rather than us. Zerion is the better view of a purely on-chain, DeFi-heavy portfolio. Rotki is the right call if your history has to stay on your own machine.
What is left is the job we built for: seeing where your money actually went across 11 exchanges and 52 chains at once, with transfers between your own accounts matched rather than counted as sales, and a free tier that caps how many accounts you connect and never what you can see.
Koinly is a tax-filing tool with a tracker attached, and it produces the downloadable tax reports WhereItGoes does not. The difference that decides it: Koinly free stops at 10,000 transactions and gates the report, while our free tier caps how many accounts you connect and never what you can see.
CoinTracker files crypto taxes and includes a mobile app on its free tier, and WhereItGoes does neither. What we do instead: a free tier that caps how many accounts you connect rather than what you can see, and published methodology behind every number.
CoinStats is a portfolio tracker with mobile apps, a public API and a 20,000-transaction free tier, and it puts profit and loss behind Premium. WhereItGoes gives profit and loss, cost basis and the full history on free, and caps how many accounts you connect instead.
Zerion is an on-chain wallet tracker and says plainly that it cannot show assets held on centralized exchanges. WhereItGoes reads both sides of your money: 11 exchanges by read-only API key and 52 chains by public address, in one history.
Rotki is open source, self-hosted and local-first, and if that is your requirement it is the right answer and we are not. What our free tier includes that Rotki reserves for paid plans: transfer matching, and a net-worth graph that is not limited to the last two weeks.
Every free crypto portfolio tracker holds something back. Koinly gates the downloadable tax report, CoinStats paywalls profit and loss and caps at 20,000 transactions, Rotki gates transfer matching and limits the free net-worth graph to two weeks, and CoinTracker's own comparison table withholds portfolio tracking.

Four rules, and they are the reason this cluster exists in the form it does. Every claim about another product carries the public URL it was read from and the date it was read, printed on the page. If a claim cannot be sourced, it does not appear, however good it would have sounded.
Every page opens by conceding what the other tool does better, before anything else. We use no competitor logos or wordmarks, and none of these pages implies a partnership that does not exist. And where a vendor's own pages disagree with each other, we say so and quote both halves rather than picking the one that flatters us.
Prices and feature lists move without notice. If something here has gone stale, write to support@whereitgoes.money and we will correct it and change the date.
The other half of this is our own methodology, published in the same spirit: how WhereItGoes works, including what it does not do.
