BlockpitScore 80An Austrian crypto-tax engine that actually names the form: prefilled E1/E1kv completion aids carrying KZ 172/174/176, Anlage SO for the open 2025 German year, and a prefilled Form 8949 with a 1099-DA reconciliation page — all delivered as PDF, with per-lot basis that stays inside the PDF and never reaches the CSV.Strength: Named form output — 9/10Watch-out: 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".WaltioScore 75The deepest named-form work in this category outside the US — Form 2086 and 3916-bis with boxes 8UU/3AN/3BN/3CN/5KU/5JG, Anlage SO with Zeile numbers and the ELSTER path, Italy's Quadro RT/RW and Spain's casilla 1804 — with the lot-matching rule enforced rather than offered as a picker in all five core markets; then it rents the record back, because the transaction export sits two tiers above the tier that produced the report, no new report can be generated once the calendar year ends, and a previous tax year can only be bought if you also hold an active subscription for the current one.Strength: Named form output — 9/10Watch-out: That the 39€ you paid buys a window, not a record — and all four sentences below were re-fetched and matched character-exact on 2026-08-19.

(.../5830168), and, on the transaction export, 'This feature is available only for Smart and Unlimited plans.' (.../6014877). So a Lite or Starter buyer who files, cancels, and is asked in 2028 to re-derive 2025 for an audit or an amended return cannot regenerate it, cannot buy 2025 on its own — they must first re-subscribe for whatever the then-current year is, then pay the 2025 tier fee on top, priced on 2025's own transaction count because 'each fiscal year is evaluated independently' (.../5444696) — and never had the raw transaction export at all, because that sits two tiers up at 249€. The article that looks like it should rescue the buyer does not: 'Obtaining a Tax Report for Previous Years' says 'If your subscription allows it, click "All documents" to download the tax documents for the selected year.' The Terms compound it: they are a 'seasonal subscription with automatic renewal' that says nothing about post-lapse access to a purchased year, and instead say 'The User must keep backups of their data.'

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.
