The read-only promise is an instruction to you, not a gate on them: 'we ask that you provide API keys with view permissions whenever possible' — nothing documents CoinTracker rejecting a trade-scoped key at connect time, so a mis-scoped key sits 'encrypted & securely stored' on their servers on your risk budget; and the plans page, which on 2026-09-29 showed every paid price from $59 to $3499 a year, states no transaction cap for the free plan, although CoinTracker's own error table says 'Upgrading to a paid plan also increases the transaction limit.'

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.
