Quick Verdict
CoinTracking has been around since 2012 — making it one of the oldest and most battle-tested crypto tax tools on the market. In our testing it imported transactions from 110+ exchanges and wallets flawlessly via API or CSV, handled DeFi trades and NFTs better than most rivals, and produced tax reports for 100+ countries (including Germany's FIFO/LOTO rules — fitting, given the company is German). The free tier (up to 200 transactions) is genuinely usable, and paid plans scale to active traders with tens of thousands of trades. The dashboard looks dated compared to newer apps and the sheer feature depth takes a weekend to learn. Best for serious traders and anyone who needs auditable, account-ready crypto tax reports.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is CoinTracking really free?
Yes — the free plan covers up to 200 transactions with all import methods and manual tax report access. Once you exceed 200 trades you'll need a paid plan to keep generating reports for the full history.
Does CoinTracking support DeFi and NFTs?
Yes. CoinTracking imports DeFi trades, lending, liquidity pools and NFT transactions from major chains (Ethereum, BSC, Polygon and more) either via wallet address auto-import or CSV. Complex DeFi histories occasionally need manual cleanup.
Which countries' tax reports does it support?
CoinTracking generates capital gains and income reports aligned with the rules of 100+ countries, including Germany (FIFO/LOTO, Freigrenze), the USA (FIFO/LIFO, IRS Form 8949) and most EU states. The company itself is Germany-based, and German-language support is excellent.
CoinTracking vs newer crypto tax apps — which is better?
Newer apps win on looks; CoinTracking wins on depth. With 12 accounting methods, the widest exchange coverage and a full audit trail, it remains our pick for serious traders. Casual holders with a handful of trades may prefer a simpler tool.
