PricingSnapshotLive tier API (https://rotki.com/webapi/2/tiers/info, fetched 29 September 2026): Supporter "monthly_plan":{"price":"9.00" and "yearly_plan":{"price":"90.00" — "Historical events limit" "3K events", "Use your premium account in one device", no detailed graphs or event analysis; Basic "monthly_plan":{"price":"25.00" and "yearly_plan":{"price":"250.00" — "30K events", "Encrypted data backups" "Store up to 150MB", "Connect and sync up to 2 devices", "Track ETH Staking" "up to 128 ETH"; Advanced "monthly_plan":{"price":"45.00" and "yearly_plan":{"price":"450.00" — "100K events", "Store up to 600MB", "Connect and sync up to 4 devices", "up to 384 ETH". Currency: the vendor's pricing page (https://rotki.com/pricing, served at rotki.com/checkout/pay) renders no numbers without JavaScript but declares "priceCurrency":"EUR" in its structured data, so every tier price above is in euros. Free tier (https://rotki.com/products, 29 September 2026): "Free users can access up to 1,000 of their most recent events." and "Free users can add up to 10 notes."Homepage pricing cards (https://www.kubera.com/, fetched 29 September 2026): Essentials — "Everything except what's listed under Black" — "$250 /year"; Black — "For complex multi-entity wealth." (adds "Ownership tags", "Nested Portfolios", "Guided Onboarding", "VIP Support") — "$2500 /year"; "Try for 14 days" — "Try it fully loaded. Choose the subscription plan after the trial."; "Book a 30-minute demo for $250, credited when you join Black". Headline on the same page: "$250 a year, not 1% of your wealth." No free plan exists. Kubera White Label is no longer priced on the homepage; its own page (https://www.kubera.com/white-label, fetched 29 September 2026) states "$300 a month". https://www.kubera.com/pricing still returns HTTP 404 — pricing is served on the homepage.

Which should you pick?

Leads
Pick it when
Pick Rotki if API key blast radius matters most — it scores 9/10 to Kubera's 6/10 there (weight 30).
Strength
Sync fidelity and gap honesty — 10/10
Tradeoff
The free tier's 1,000-event ceiling bites fast for an active trader — real history and PnL effectively cost 25 EUR/mo (Basic), since the 9 EUR Supporter tier keeps the 3K-event cap but withholds graphs and event analysis — and self-hosting means you install, update and troubleshoot the app yourself; margin and futures trades don't sync at all.
KU
Kubera
72#2 of 7
Pick it when
Kubera leads Rotki on no published criterion and no score dimension — pick it only if a fact outside the score (country, funding rail, custody) decides for you.
Strength
Data monetization truth — 9/10
Tradeoff
You pay $250/year and broken connections are still partly your problem: Kubera's own help center says connections 'may occasionally break, or show wrong balances' and 'might not always be resolvable', with manual-entry tracking as the documented fallback — and your exchange API keys sit on Kubera's servers with read-only merely instructed at setup, not enforced at connect time.

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.
