Our take
CoinTracker is the biggest US name in combined portfolio-and-tax tracking — the official tax partner of major platforms including Coinbase, with 500+ integrations and a polished app that tracks your balances year-round rather than appearing only at tax time.
For Australians it does produce local capital gains reports with AUD support, but its tax engine is US-centric at heart: the ATO specifics (discount handling, parcel methods, financial-year nuances) are serviceable rather than native. Think of it as an excellent tracker that can also do your tax, rather than the reverse.
Before you pay
The year-round tracking is the real feature — cost basis and performance stay continuously reconciled instead of being reconstructed in a July panic. If you already live in the Coinbase ecosystem the integration is seamless. For lodgement-critical numbers, cross-check the AU output or have your accountant sanity-check the first year.
Who is CoinTracker for?
✅ Good fit if…
- You want one app watching portfolio and tax position all year
- You use Coinbase heavily — the pairing is first-class
- You value a mature product with a big security budget
⛔ Look elsewhere if…
- You want ATO-native depth (Summ, Syla)
- You only need a once-a-year report at minimum cost
- Your activity is mostly on Australian-local exchanges
Getting started with CoinTracker
- 1 Connect everything — free
Link every exchange and wallet you've ever used via read-only API keys or CSV. CoinTracker previews your history before you pay anything.
- 2 Review the reconciliation
Check for missing cost bases, unmatched transfers and mislabelled transactions — five minutes here is the difference between a right and wrong return.
- 3 Generate the FY report
Pay for the financial year you're lodging and export the ATO-format capital gains report (or hand your accountant access).
- 4 Keep it connected
Leave the integrations live — next July becomes a ten-minute job instead of an archaeology project.
FAQ
Does CoinTracker produce ATO-ready reports?
Yes — CoinTracker generates Australian capital gains reports in ATO format, including the figures you need for myTax, with the 12-month CGT discount handled.
How much does CoinTracker cost?
Pricing changes frequently, so we don't print numbers that go stale — there's a free tier or preview to start with, and the paid tiers are listed on the official site (the button above).
Is it safe to connect my accounts to CoinTracker?
Use read-only API keys — reporting and tracking tools only need to see your history, never to move funds. A read-only key is harmless even if leaked.
The bottom line
A superb tracker with competent AU tax output — strongest inside the Coinbase orbit.
Scored 7.8/10 by our methodology — independent of any commission.
