KoinlyScore 81Names ten statutory forms across ten jurisdictions and ships Sweden's K4 in Skatteverket SRU upload format, but has no German form on any served page, supports only one of Rev. Proc. 2024-28's two allocation methods by its own admission, charges a per-country add-on to file in two places, and puts its 10-year report-access promise in the help centre while the contract reserves the right to delete inactive accounts with no refund.Strength: Named form output — 8/10Watch-out: Two, and the first costs money before it costs time. US buyers: paying does not by itself produce a filled 8949. "USA-specific reports like Schedule D and form 8949 require the 1099-DA flow to be completed. Without the information if you received the 1099-DA form or not, some of the fields cannot be filled." and "If you didn't complete the 1099-DA flow and download reports, some of them will be empty (1kb PDFs)" (https://support.koinly.io/en/articles/13791356-usa-uploading-1099-da-forms-to-koinly, re-loaded 2026-08-19). Now read that against the contract: "Refunds are not possible once you have downloaded any reports and must be made within 7 days of purchase.

(https://koinly.io/legal/terms/, reached from https://koinly.io/terms/, loaded 2026-08-19, "Revised on Jan 2, 2026"). Downloading the empty 1kb PDF is itself the act that extinguishes the refund. Second: German and Austrian buyers get NO statutory form. The pricing FAQ names Germany among countries with "specialised tax reports" (https://koinly.io/pricing/), but the help centre's Localized Tax Reports list has no German entry — Germany appears only as a report LANGUAGE, and the countries article routes German filers to the generic artefact ("Our Comprehensive Tax Report is suitable for anyone looking to declare taxes - no matter which country.", https://support.koinly.io/en/articles/9489962-which-countries-does-koinly-calculate-taxes-for). No Anlage SO, no ELSTER handoff, no Austrian E1/E1kv and no FinanzOnline appears on any page loaded. A German filer pays for a Complete Tax Report written in German and transcribes it. And anyone filing in two countries pays the "Dual nationality" add-on again for each extra country, each tax year. THIRD, added in verification: the help centre's "Each yearly plan is valid for 10 years from the date of purchase" has no counterpart in the contract, which reserves the right to terminate "without any prior notice" on grounds including "Any extended periods of inactivity;", to delete "any and all related information, files, and any such content that may be associated with or inside your account, or any part thereof;", and states "If your account is terminated by Us, you will not be entitled to any refund of any monies spent on Koinly." A buyer who pays for a tax year and comes back in year four is relying on a help article, not on a term.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.

(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."

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.
