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. Three served sentences compose into one trap: 'At the end of the subscription (end of calendar year), it is no longer possible to generate new reports.' (help.waltio.com/en/articles/4915779), 'To purchase access for a previous tax year, you must have an active subscription for the current year.' (.../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.'

CoinTracking.info

Pick CoinTracking.info if record portability matters most — it scores 5/10 to Waltio's 4/10 there (weight 20).
Strength
Named form output — 7/10
Tradeoff
UNCHANGED IN SUBSTANCE -- both halves re-verified 2026-08-19. First, the transaction cap is LIFETIME, not annual: "Each CoinTracking plan has a different transaction limit based on the total number of transactions imported across all years. This means that all historical transactions count toward the limit, ensuring that your complete trading history is accurately analyzed for comprehensive tax calculations." (https://cointracking.info/pricing/) -- a ten-year history burns Starter's 200-transaction allowance on day one, so the $49/EUR39 entry price is a fiction for anyone with real history. Second, and worse for a legal record: stop renewing and you can no longer produce the report you already paid to produce. The free state is portfolio-view-only -- on 2026-09-29 the pricing page reads "Tax reports require a paid plan." and "new transaction imports also require a paid plan" -- so the 2025 Form 8949 you generated in 2026 cannot be regenerated in 2029 when an examiner asks, unless you are paying again. And section 6 of the Terms lists "User account inactivity exceeding 12 months" as cause to terminate, after which "CoinTracking will delete the data stored by the User 30 days after the termination of the User Agreement." Export the Roll Forward / Audit Report to CSV while the plan is live, or the derived record sits on a clock you do not control.

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.
