CoinStats is a portfolio tracker that brings your wallets and exchange accounts together in one app and shows the value of your coins in real time. The Basic plan costs nothing and covers 10 portfolios with up to 20,000 transactions. Premium costs $13.99 a month if you pay a year in advance, according to CoinStats' pricing page. For most retail investors, the free plan is enough. Anyone who needs a tax return, however, will not get there with CoinStats alone, because the app does not produce a tax report itself.
This guide shows what the tracker can do, which exchanges it connects to, what the plans cost and where its limits lie. It reflects the situation as of November 15, 2026.
A portfolio tracker is software that collects balances and transactions from several sources and calculates an overall picture of your holdings. Instead of five exchange apps side by side, you see one overview with total value, profit and loss per position and the split across individual coins.
CoinStats does this in two ways. You connect exchange accounts through an application programming interface, or API: a technical access point through which the exchange passes selected data to other software. Wallets are added either through a connection such as WalletConnect or simply by entering the public address. Because the blockchain is public, the address is enough to read balances and movements. If you want neither, you can set up a manual portfolio and enter purchases and sales by hand.
This is mainly useful for investors who spread their coins around: bitcoin on a hardware wallet, for example, altcoins on two exchanges and a few tokens in a browser wallet. That spread is exactly what makes keeping track hard, and exactly what a tracker solves. Beyond the overview, CoinStats offers price alerts, an analysis of fees paid, a view of asset allocation and warnings about risks attached to individual tokens. The company also advertises AI features meant to answer questions about your own portfolio.
The Basic plan is free for good and is not a time-limited trial. According to the pricing page, it includes 10 portfolios, up to 20,000 transactions and 10 syncs per portfolio per day. At CoinStats, a portfolio is a single connected source, such as an exchange account or a wallet address. If you use three exchanges, a hardware wallet and a browser wallet, you take up five of the ten slots.
Ordinary savers will rarely reach the 20,000-transaction limit. A monthly savings plan creates twelve purchases a year, and even active investors who rebalance weekly usually stay in the low hundreds. It is different for traders who use bots or carry out many small swaps on decentralized exchanges. There, thousands of entries can pile up in a month.
In everyday use, the number of syncs matters more. Ten updates a day are enough to check your position morning and evening. Anyone who wants to follow price moves minute by minute will need the exchange's own app anyway. Support on the free plan responds within 72 hours, according to the provider.
Above the Basic plan sit two subscriptions. Premium raises the limit to 100 portfolios and, according to the answers on the pricing page, to up to 100,000 transactions. It adds an AI assistant, AI market research, ad-free use and support within 24 hours. The price of $13.99 a month applies with annual billing; CoinStats says that saves up to 13 percent compared with paying monthly. On a monthly plan you pay more. Comparison sites put that at around $16.
The most expensive plan is called Degen and is aimed at active traders. It includes 500 portfolios, more credit for the AI features, AI-assisted backtesting of trading strategies and support that is meant to respond within one hour. Paying annually saves 29 percent, according to CoinStats. Comparison sites put the monthly price at around $89. For groups and communities there is also a team plan, priced on request.
The trial deserves a close look. CoinStats offers seven days free but links them to the annual subscription: if you do not cancel in time, the annual fee is charged at the end of the trial. The pricing page also mentions a 14-day money-back guarantee. If you cancel a subscription later, the portfolios you have already connected remain visible, but you cannot add new ones as long as you are above the free plan's limit. All prices are in dollars. Depending on whether you pay through the App Store or Google Play, different amounts may appear in euros.
A tracker shows gains, but for tax purposes what counts is a complete record of every single transaction.
CoinStats lists hundreds of wallets, blockchains and exchanges on its integrations page. For investors in Germany, what matters most is whether their own platforms are included. There are dedicated guides for Kraken, Bitpanda, Bitvavo, Coinbase, Binance, OKX, Bitstamp and Kucoin, among others, as well as for hardware wallets such as Ledger and Trezor. CoinStats does not offer a dedicated connection for neobrokers such as Trade Republic or for Bison. There, the only options are manual entry or a CSV file import, provided the platform offers an export.
Kraken shows how the connection works. In the account settings under "Connection & API" you create a new key and grant read-only rights: query balances, open and closed orders and ledger entries. You also enter a list of IP addresses specified by CoinStats. Such an allowlist means the key only works from those servers. The guide has one catch: Kraken requires two-factor authentication to be switched off for this key for the connection to work. That is acceptable because the key cannot move anything anyway, but it makes setting the rights correctly all the more important.
At Bitvavo, the "View information" option, meaning read-only access, is enough, confirmed with a two-factor code and email. At every exchange, the secret belonging to the key, the API secret, is shown only once. Do not store it permanently in plain text; enter it straight into CoinStats. If you want to connect a wallet without an API, the software wallet comparison lists models whose addresses can easily be added to any tracker.
CoinStats stresses on every integration page that the connection is read-only and can neither place orders nor move funds. That is only true, however, if you set up the key that way. CoinStats does not assign the rights; you do, at the exchange. If you accidentally tick "Trade" or "Withdraw", anyone who got hold of the key would have far more options.
A properly configured read-only key limits the damage in the worst case to your data: an attacker would see what you own and when you traded, but could not withdraw anything. Even that is not harmless, because knowledge of large holdings makes people targets for phishing and extortion. Two habits reduce the risk. Create a separate key for each application so you can delete it individually if needed. And once a year, check in your exchange settings which keys are still active and whether you still use them at all.
If you do not want to share any data with a service provider, you can watch addresses without an account or switch to a tracker that runs locally on your own computer. These programs are usually less convenient but keep the data with you.
CoinStats' history is not entirely free of incidents. In June 2024 the company reported an attack on its infrastructure. According to the company, 1,590 wallets that users had created directly in the CoinStats app were affected, about 1.3 percent of those wallets. Connected wallets and exchange accounts were not affected, CoinStats said at the time; the app was temporarily taken offline. The security site Security Affairs was among those reporting it. Media reports put the losses at $2 million to $2.2 million.
The distinction is what matters. A wallet created in the app manages private keys, precisely the data needed to move coins. A tracker that works only with read rights and public addresses does not hold those keys at all. If you use CoinStats purely as an overview and keep your coins elsewhere, you carry a different risk from someone who also stores money there. For larger amounts, a hardware wallet, whose private key never leaves the device, remains the safer choice.
An API key with read-only rights opens a view into the account, but not access to the funds.
For tax, CoinStats refers users to partners. In the app and in the browser, the "Report Taxes" button leads to the US provider CoinLedger. You select the portfolios, give CoinLedger read access to the data and create the report there. CoinStats users get a ten percent discount, according to the company blog. The Austrian tax service Blockpit also offers an import of CoinStats data.
The advantage: you do not have to connect exchanges and wallets a second time. The report costs extra, however, and its quality depends on whether the tax software reflects the rules that apply to you. Many exchanges now also provide their own tax export. Our piece on exchange tax report exports shows how reliable it is.
Records matter too. A tracker does not replace receipts, but it helps you collect them completely. So export your transaction lists regularly and keep them separately from the tracker. If the service ever goes down or you cancel the subscription, you still have the data.
CoinStats plays to its strengths if you want to bring many sources together and value a well-made smartphone app. The large number of integrations, support for DeFi positions and the free basic version make getting started easy. For savers with one exchange and one savings plan, on the other hand, a tracker is often unnecessary, because the exchange app already shows the holdings.
If what you mainly need is a tax return, start directly with a specialized tax tool. These programs usually include a portfolio view as well and handle the tax calculation. A CoinStats subscription plus a separate tax report can end up costing more than a single tax tool. For traders with bots and hundreds of transactions a month, the limits are worth a look: Premium covers 100,000 entries, Basic only a fifth of that.
On balance, CoinStats is a tool for oversight, not for bookkeeping. The free plan is enough for most retail investors. Premium only pays off if you manage more than ten accounts or actually use the AI features.
