CoinTracker Alternative: No Subscription, No Account Required
CoinTracker is a popular crypto tax and portfolio tracker - but its pricing is subscription-based and it's built around ongoing portfolio monitoring, not just tax filing. If you just want to calculate and file your taxes once, DYOR.tax charges a single one-time fee with no account required.
Tax filing without the year-round subscription. Upload your Coinbase, Binance, or Kraken CSV and get a complete tax preview free - no sign-up required.
Start free preview →The core difference
CoinTracker combines portfolio tracking with tax reporting - you pay for the full year of portfolio visibility even if you only need a tax report at filing time. DYOR.tax is tax-filing focused: upload your data, get your report, pay once.
If you want to watch your portfolio value in real time throughout the year, CoinTracker is built for that. DYOR.tax is built for the person who wants accurate taxes without paying for features they'll never use.
What DYOR.tax does differently
- No subscription: pay once per report, not per year
- No account required: upload CSV, get preview, pay if you want the full report
- Instant preview free: see your gains, losses, and income before paying anything
- Direct filing guidance: "where to enter your figures" mapped to your country's exact tax forms
- CSV + wallet combined: exchange CSV merged with on-chain wallet data in one report
What CoinTracker does that DYOR.tax doesn't (yet)
CoinTracker has a broader feature set built for different users:
- Real-time portfolio tracking - DYOR.tax is tax-filing only, not a portfolio tracker
- More exchange integrations and API connections
- Mobile app for portfolio monitoring throughout the year
- Manual trade entry for exchanges without CSV export
If portfolio tracking year-round is important to you, or if you traded on many exchanges beyond Coinbase, Binance, and Kraken, CoinTracker may suit you better.
Who DYOR.tax is for
DYOR.tax is for people who want to file their taxes, not track their portfolio 365 days a year. If you want accurate gains and losses and a filing-ready report - without paying for features you don't need - DYOR.tax is the simpler choice.
It works best if you:
- Used Coinbase, Binance, or Kraken (or any combination)
- Also hold self-custody wallets (EVM, Solana, Bitcoin)
- File in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, or South Africa
- Want to pay once per filing season, not every month
Pricing comparison
DYOR.tax: one-time fee per report, starting from $29 for up to 50 taxable events. Preview always free, no account required.
CoinTracker: subscription-based - check their current pricing at cointracker.io.
If you only file taxes once a year and don't need portfolio tracking, the one-time model will typically cost less.
If you already use Coinbase
CoinTracker has a direct integration with Coinbase, which makes it easy to pull in your full transaction history without a manual CSV export. If you want that convenience year-round - portfolio tracking included - CoinTracker is a reasonable choice for Coinbase-heavy users who value the seamless connection.
DYOR.tax uses the Coinbase CSV export instead. It takes an extra two minutes to download and upload, but it covers all 35+ Coinbase transaction types - including Earn, Learning Rewards, and Advanced Trade - and costs a single one-time fee rather than a recurring subscription.
