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. The refund reason must be related to a bug/issue within Koinly that we are unable to resolve within reasonable time." (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.DivlyScore 78The European filing specialist: one served table naming K4/SRU, Anlage SO, SA108, 2086, PIT-38 and Modelo D-100 across fourteen jurisdictions, a Skatteverket-native SRU upload, a per-disposal 'applied_rule_for_disposal' column proving s.104 same-day/30-day matching ran, and an in-app tax-year selector that defaults to 2025 as the CURRENT year - undercut by a EUR 39 headline that buys only 100 transactions, a delivered ledger that never states the acquisition date of the lot it matched, no closing-position output in any jurisdiction, and a 2021 Terms document that never mentions the 'lifetime access ... forever' its help centre promises.Strength: Named form output — 9/10Watch-out: Four one-way doors, none of them on the page you buy from, and two of them invisible without reading Divly's own shipped code. (1) THE PRICE YOU SEE IS THE 100-TRANSACTION PRICE - CONFIRMED AT THE SOURCE. https://divly.com/en/pricing advertises Essential at '39' 'EUR', but that is the first cell of a four-column ladder wired into the page's own inline script. From the served source on 2026-08-19: 'const pricingMatrix = { 0: [0, 39, 99, 599], 1: [0, 99, 199, 699], 2: [0, 199, 399, 799], 3: [0, 399, 699, 999] };'. The mapping is not inferred - the bracket buttons carry it: '<button class="transaction-btn active" data-index="0" onclick="updatePricing(0)">Up to 100</button>', then data-index 1 'Up to 1,000', 2 'Up to 10,000', 3 'Up to 100,000'; the script ends with 'updatePricing(0);' and the server-rendered spans read '<span id="price-essential">39</span>'. EUR 39 buys 'Up to 100' transactions for the year. At 'Up to 1,000' Essential is EUR 99; at 'Up to 10,000' EUR 199; at 'Up to 100,000' EUR 399 - and Full Service starts at EUR 599, not the EUR 499 this repo's catalog row records. Anyone with a routine DCA habit is in the 1,000+ bracket and pays 2.5x the headline. (2) ONCE YOU DOWNLOAD, YOU CANNOT UNBUY, AND THE TERMS AND THE HELP CENTRE DISAGREE. Terms: 'It is not possible to get a refund if you have downloaded a file from the tax report section in the platform.' - flat, unqualified. https://help.divly.com/en/articles/8233489-can-i-request-a-refund ('February 3, 2026') sets three requirements - 'You make the request within 14 days of purchasing the service.' / 'The reason for refund is related to a bug or issue that Divly is unable to resolve within a reasonable time frame.' / 'You have not downloaded any tax reports.' - and then adds a fourth: 'This does not apply if the issue is related to the tax report.' So the help centre carves out the commonest case while the binding contract does not; the Terms govern, and the disagreement is the finding. Either way, dissatisfaction that is not a Divly bug is not a refund reason. Worse, the Terms purport to cancel the EU statutory withdrawal right within the same clause that grants it, under the heading 'Your right to terminate the Agreement pre-maturely': 'If you are a consumer, you have the right to withdraw from this Agreement without giving any reason within 14 days.' ... and, four sentences later, 'Since this is a Service we will not, if you withdraw from this Agreement, refund any payments we received from you.' (3) THE PRICING PAGE IS NOT THE WHOLE PRICE LIST - three charges exist that it never shows, all read from Divly's own app bundle (plugin_v23.js, downloaded 2026-08-19). A per-hour overage on the top tier, stated in the help centre: Full Service 'includes 4 hours of work by the Divly Expert. In most cases this is enough, however if extra hours are required they will be charged at 150 EUR per hour.' A priority-service add-on with a four-figure fallback: 'get_priority_service_price:function(){return this.pricing_info&&this.pricing_info.priority_service_price?this.pricing_info.priority_service_price:1e3}'. And an early-bird tier system fetched at checkout: 'fetch_early_bird_tiers:async function(){try{const e=await(await fetch(Fe+"/client/get_early_bird_tiers")).json();'. (4) A TIER THE PRICING PAGE SELLS IS HARDCODED AS UNBUYABLE. The same bundle contains 'is_sold_out_tier_value:function(t){return typeof t!="string"?!1:t.replace("-EARLY","").toUpperCase().startsWith("SECOND_100000")}' and, in the checkout handler, 'if(t.some(e=>this.is_sold_out_tier_value(e.tier))){alert("Sold out tier cannot be purchased.");return}'. In the same file 'THIRD_' resolves to 'Full Service', so 'SECOND_' is the second paid tier, Peace of Mind - the one https://divly.com/en/pricing still advertises at EUR 699 for the 'Up to 100,000' bracket. Whether the server also refuses the sale is unestablished; what is established is that Divly's own client blocks it. (5) THE 'lifetime access ... forever' PROMISE YOU ARE RELYING ON lives in a help article, not the contract; the contract is stamped 'Updated by Synch: 22 September 2021', never mentions it, and reserves account deletion. (6) IF YOU ARE GERMAN, THE STALE PAGE IS THE MARKETING ONE, NOT THE PRODUCT. https://divly.com/en/guides/crypto-taxes-in-germany ('Jan. 15, 2026') still says 'You have a €600 exemption limit on crypto profits.' while the help article ('July 7, 2026') says 'If you exceed the €1000 exemption limit (€600 for tax years 2023 and earlier), the full amount of gains is taxable.' The app itself renders the correct figure - the German tax widget in plugin_v23.js computes the exemption as 'C(a.year>=2024?1e3:600)'. So the number you FILE is right; the number you'd PLAN with off the guide is two years stale.
