Summ (ex-CryptoTaxCalculator) vs Syla
The all-Australian final. Both are local products that treat the ATO as the spec, not an afterthought — Summ brings bigger scale and broader platform coverage; Syla brings its CGT-optimisation approach and a lean, tax-first design. For Australians this pairing is less about capability gaps and more about which workflow fits your records.

FAQ
Which is cheaper, Summ (ex-CryptoTaxCalculator) or Syla?
Both price by transaction count per tax year, and both change their tiers often enough that we don't print numbers that could go stale — check current pricing on each site. The honest budgeting note: most people's transaction counts are higher than they guess, because every trade, swap and reward counts.
Do I still need an accountant?
These tools calculate; they don't advise. For ordinary buy-hold-sell affairs the generated report plus myTax is usually enough. Complex situations — businesses, SMSFs, large DeFi histories, past-year corrections — deserve a crypto-literate accountant, who will also work faster from a clean software report.
Can I try before paying?
Both let you import transactions and preview your gain/loss for free — payment unlocks the report. Importing your real history into both and comparing how cleanly each handles it is the single best way to choose, and costs nothing.
