Ranked on connections & read-only support
The best crypto portfolio trackers, judged on connections and safety
Eight reputable portfolio trackers compared on what matters: exchange and wallet connections, read-only key support, DeFi and NFT coverage, privacy and price. No coin picks, no price predictions. Reviewed September 2026.
On this page
The best crypto portfolio tracker for most people is the one you will actually open every day, connected read-only across everything you own — and for a broad, free, cross-platform view that is usually CoinStats or Delta. But “best” genuinely depends on what you value: if privacy is the priority, the open-source, local tool Rotki wins; if you want tracking that rolls straight into a tax report, Koinly or CoinLedger fit better; and if you are in the EU or UK, Blockpit is built around your reporting rules. This page compares eight reputable options on the things that matter and shows the trade-offs, so you can pick for your own situation.
Every tool below is a mainstream, reputable app that supports read-only connections — none of them needs, or should ever have, permission to move your funds. Read the risk box and the read-only-versus-full-access diagram above before you connect a single account; getting that one setting right matters more than which app you choose.
How we rank portfolio trackers
We rank on five things a tracker is actually for. First, connections: how many exchanges and blockchains it reads, because a tracker that cannot see half your holdings is not tracking your portfolio. Second, read-only support: whether it connects with view-only API keys and public addresses rather than anything that can trade or withdraw. Third, DeFi and NFT coverage: whether on-chain positions and collectibles show up or silently go missing. Fourth, privacy: what the app does with the live map of your net worth you are handing it. Fifth, price and platform: what the free tier really includes and whether the mobile app is good enough to use.
Scores are relative to this group and reflect a bias toward safe, read-only, verifiable tracking.
The eight trackers at a glance
Prices change constantly for this kind of software, so the table gives the shape of each plan rather than a number we cannot promise is current — always check the tool's own pricing page. Everything here was reviewed September 2026.

CoinStats — the broadest connection coverage
CoinStats is the tracker most people should try first. It connects to a very wide range of exchanges and wallets — into the hundreds — and pulls DeFi positions and NFTs into one dashboard with a genuinely good mobile app. You can add accounts by read-only API key or by public wallet address, and a free tier covers the core tracking, with paid plans lifting connection and portfolio limits.
The honest trade-offs: CoinStats is a cloud service, so the breadth that makes it useful is also the privacy cost — you are giving one company a live picture of everything you hold across every venue. It has also had the occasional sync glitch on obscure tokens, as every aggregator does. Connect it with read-only keys only, and treat the number it shows as information, not instruction.
Delta — the cleanest mobile tracker
Delta is the pick if the daily experience matters most to you: it has the tidiest, fastest mobile app in the category, with strong watchlists and a clear per-asset breakdown. It has been owned by the broker eToro since 2019, which is worth knowing but does not change how the tracker works — you connect exchanges by read-only key, add wallet addresses, or enter holdings manually, and it tracks the total.
Trade-offs: Delta's DeFi and on-chain coverage is thinner than CoinStats or Koinly, so heavy DeFi users may find positions missing, and its deepest features sit behind Delta Pro. Because eToro owns it, factor that relationship into how comfortable you are sharing your holdings. As with any cloud tracker, it is a viewer — not somewhere to act on a price move.
Koinly — best free tracker that also does tax
Koinly is the strongest choice if you want one tool that tracks your portfolio now and can produce a tax report later. Tracking itself is free: connect 800-plus integrations across exchanges and chains by read-only API key, public address or CSV, and Koinly reconciles it into holdings, cost basis and unrealised gains. You only pay when you need to download a formal tax report for a given year.
That cost-basis engine is the reason to pick it over a pure tracker — it is quietly doing the accounting in the background — but tax filing itself is a separate discipline we do not cover here, and you should treat Koinly's numbers as a draft to check, not tax advice. Tracking stays free either way.
CoinTracker — deep exchange integrations
CoinTracker is a capable portfolio-and-tax tracker best known for its close exchange integrations, including a long-running relationship with Coinbase. It connects the major exchanges and wallets, tracks holdings, cost basis and performance, and supports DeFi and NFTs, with a free tier for smaller portfolios. For someone whose crypto life lives mostly on the big US exchanges, its sync tends to be reliable.
CoinTracker is a genuinely good option for the right person. Its paid tax tiers can get expensive as transaction counts climb, so check the pricing against your activity before committing.
CoinLedger — holdings plus tax in one
CoinLedger, formerly CryptoTrader.Tax, tracks your holdings across exchanges and wallets and, like Koinly, keeps a running cost basis so a tax report is a short step away. You import by read-only API key or CSV, and it is generally praised for a clean import flow and responsive support. Tracking your portfolio is free; you pay when you generate a report.
Its DeFi and NFT handling is solid but a notch behind Koinly's for exotic on-chain activity, so very active DeFi users should test their wallets on the free tier first. If your holdings are mostly on centralised exchanges, it is one of the easiest tools here to get set up.
Blockpit — the EU and UK pick
Blockpit is the tracker to reach for if you file in Europe or the UK. Born from a merger with Accointing, it is built around eight country-specific reports (Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland and the UK) and localises the rules that a US-centric tool glosses over. It tracks your portfolio across exchanges and chains by read-only connection, with DeFi and NFT support and a usable free tier.
If you are outside those countries, one of the broader tools above will serve you better; Blockpit's edge is precisely its regional focus. As a MiCA-region company, its data handling is governed by EU rules, which some readers will count as a privacy plus.
Exchange and wallet dashboards — the free native option
Do not overlook the trackers you already have. Every major exchange (Coinbase, Kraken) shows a portfolio view of the assets held there, and wallet apps like MetaMask Portfolio and Trust Wallet do the same for on-chain balances — all free, with no third-party connection and no extra company seeing your data. For someone whose crypto sits in one or two places, this is often all the tracking you need.
The limit is in the name: each dashboard only sees its own platform, so nothing aggregates across exchanges and wallets. The moment you hold assets in several places, you are back to logging into each one — which is the exact gap the aggregators above fill. They are here because for a lot of people they are simply the right, safest answer.
Rotki — the privacy-first, open-source tracker
Rotki is the choice for anyone who does not want to hand their net worth to a cloud service. It is open-source and local-first: the app runs on your own computer and your financial data stays there, encrypted, instead of on someone else's server. It still connects to exchanges by read-only API key and reads many chains by address, tracks holdings and cost basis, and has a premium tier that funds the project.
The trade-offs are real: Rotki asks more of you to set up, the interface is more utilitarian than the polished mobile apps, and there is no phone-first experience to match Delta. It is the honest answer for the privacy-conscious. If a cloud tracker's live map of your holdings worries you, this is the tool that removes that worry.
Connect with a read-only key — every single time
Whichever tracker you choose, the setup rule is the same and it is not optional: connect with a read-only, view-only API key that has trading and withdrawals disabled, exactly as the diagram at the top of this page shows. A read-only key lets the tracker see your balances and history and nothing more; a full-access key can move your money, and if the tracker is ever breached, that is how funds leave. No legitimate portfolio tracker needs more than read-only access — if one insists on withdrawal permission, that is a reason to walk away. Our step-by-step guide to connecting exchanges safely covers exactly which boxes to tick, and how to track your whole portfolio covers wallets and manual entry too.
A tracker is a mirror, not advice
One last thing, because it is the heart of how we think about these tools. A portfolio tracker reflects what you already own; it does not tell you what to do next. A rising total is not a signal to buy more and a falling one is not a signal to sell — that framing is how people talk themselves into decisions the tool never made for them. We do not publish coin picks or price predictions, and no tracker on this page does either. Use the numbers to stay organised and informed, keep your own research and your own risk tolerance in the driving seat, and remember that crypto is volatile enough to take all of it. Nothing here is financial, tax or legal advice.
