You buy the tax-year licence and then find part of the interface still locked. Per-transaction cost basis ON SCREEN is NOT in the €49–€549 licence: "To view the Tax Details, you need an active Blockpit Plus subscription!" (https://intercom.help/blockpit/en/articles/12137146-advanced-transaction-details-ledger-tax, "January 30, 2026"), a separate subscription that the pricing page, fetched 2026-09-29, prices at "Only €3.99/month" "Incl. tax • Billed as annual subscription". The number itself is not withheld: the purchased PDF prints 'Kosten (€)', 'Erlös (€)' and 'Gewinn (€)' per transaction (verified on the sample report, pages 16-18). Blockpit Plus buys the on-screen view, not the data. The redesigned pricing page, fetched 2026-09-29, now names what Plus buys: its Blockpit PLUS card lists "Cost basis, gains, losses per transaction". The second sting is the cap, and it bites the buyer who did the right thing. The limit counts a self-transfer TWICE — "Transfers are counted twice because the incoming and outgoing components are separate transactions." (https://intercom.help/blockpit/en/articles/12137278-how-to-understand-the-transaction-limits-of-my-tax-year, "July 20, 2026") — so connecting one more hardware wallet after payment can push you past the package you already bought, and then, on a DIFFERENT help page (https://intercom.help/blockpit/en/articles/12137280-what-happens-if-i-exceed-the-transaction-limit-for-my-purchased-tax-year, "October 1, 2025"): "Once you exceed the transaction limit, you will no longer be able to download the tax report. Upgrade to a higher transaction package to regain access." The step from 50 transactions at 49€ to 1,000 at 99€ is a doubling with nothing in between. Blockpit does only charge the delta, same page: "We will, of course, only charge you the difference between your current package and the higher transaction package." Third, if you ever leave, your lot matching does not come with you: "Transfers are only exported in form of their basic transaction types: Deposit & Withdrawal. The exact reconciliation/reconstruction of previously linked transactions (Transfers) is therefore currently not possible via our export feature." (https://intercom.help/blockpit/en/articles/12137149-how-to-export-my-blockpit-transactions-as-a-csv-file). The CSV that leaves Blockpit has thirteen columns and not one of them is a cost basis. Fourth, portfolio tracking is free: the pricing page, fetched 2026-09-29, lists "Portfolio Tracking" at "Free", and the help centre confirms "You can always import unlimited transactions in terms of Portfolio & Performance Tracking, but for generating a tax report the displayed transaction limits apply." 50 transactions is the cheapest paid tax tier, not a free cap. Fifth, Blockpit names no audit partner: across the 33 Blockpit pages read for this review there is no mention of PwC, and the only claim is unnamed: "Blockpit features country specific and compliant tax frameworks in cooperation with Big4 companies." Its terms are issued by "Blockpit AG".

UPHELD IN FULL, and better sourced than submitted. You cannot get your money back once you look at your data, and you cannot get your data back once you stop paying — both halves are in writing on served pages. The refund dies at the first download, including a plain transaction file: the Terms (https://cointracker.io/terms → https://www.cointracker.com/terms, 'Last updated: March 10, 2026') state 'Refunds are not possible once you have downloaded any of the tax forms or CSV files (including Transaction History CSV).', and the help centre states the operational consequence on https://support.cointracker.com/hc/en-us/articles/38104390028945-Available-reports-on-CoinTracker (updated 2026-08-14): 'Please note: Downloading a report counts as downloading a tax form for refund-eligibility purposes. Once you've downloaded any report, your CoinTracker plan is treated as used for the tax year.' So the 30-day 'money-back guarantee' survives only for a buyer who never opens the thing they bought. The other half: this is an auto-renewing ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION, and on lapse (https://support.cointracker.com/hc/en-us/articles/46693057775761-How-to-cancel-auto-renewal-on-your-CoinTracker-plan, updated 2026-08-14) 'Once canceled, your plan remains active until the end of your current billing period. After that date, your account moves to the free subscription. Your CoinTracker account and data will not be deleted.' — while the plans page shows the Free tier labelled 'No tax filing' with an empty cell in the 'Download tax forms (8949, Schedule D and others)' row. CoinTracker states the consequence for an ALREADY-FILED year on https://support.cointracker.com/hc/en-us/articles/31572739238417-Switching-to-Per-Wallet-tracking-after-missing-IRS-Safe-Harbor (updated 2026-08-14): 'You may need to renew your subscription plan to access your tax reports for 2024.' NEW EVIDENCE this pass, which the submitted record did not have and which hardens the caveat: the vendor's own regional-deadline table (https://support.cointracker.com/hc/en-us/articles/38071402566417-Regional-tax-extension-deadlines-observed-by-CoinTracker) spells the renewal toll out per region — the UK row reads 'Renewal is required before downloading 2025 tax forms.' and the Australia row 'Renewal is required before downloading your 2025 tax forms.'. The reports carrying the IRS safe-harbour position under Rev. Proc. 2024-28 are explicitly not retained for you: 'CoinTracker cannot save these reports for you, it is your responsibility to make sure that you keep all reports provided to you indefinitely.' And the migration is irreversible in place: 'Important: After you select Migrate now, CoinTracker locks all your data prior to 2025. You won't be able to edit pre-2025 transactions or tax reports afterward.' — preceded by the warning 'Ensure there are no Review suggested transactions remaining. Once you've made the allocation, you cannot go back to fix any issues.' Secondary, worth knowing before filing: the default lot-matching method is HIFO, not FIFO — 'Note: CoinTracker defaults all wallets to HIFO, as it tends to lower the tax bill.' — a Specific-ID subset the same page says the product cannot perform at unit level, on a page that also states Specific ID may no longer be applied retroactively for 2025-onward US returns. Changing it per year is an Ultra-tier ($599) feature: 'Changing your cost basis method will apply to all years unless you have an Ultra plan, which will allow you to set a different method for each tax year.'

Score dimensions

weights sum to 86

The published score is five dimensions, each weighted for the category. "Published criteria" is the criteria block above; the other four are the engine's own terms — availability, friction, trust record, measured data. Each bar is one side's points out of that dimension's maximum; the weight beside the name is its points of the 86-point weighted total. The published criteria above can fill 24 of the block’s 30. A weight marked “constant here” belongs to a dimension every ranked product in the category holds at the same value: it still counts in the total, and it orders nothing here.
