Accointing Review

Accointing started in Zug, Switzerland back in 2018 - right in the heart of Crypto Valley. The big news came in 2022 when Glassnode bought them out. Glassnode is an on-chain analytics firm. The acquisition added data tools to Accointing's portfolio tracking. The platform shines for European users, especially in Germany where crypto held for more than a year becomes completely tax-free. Accointing tracks those holding periods automatically, which many US-focused competitors skip. Native support for Anlage SO and other German tax forms means reports are ready for a Steuerberater without CSV conversion.

Honestly, the portfolio tracking is where Accointing surprised me the most. I was expecting a basic tax tool, but the analytics are genuinely useful for day-to-day monitoring. You get real-time syncing with your exchanges and wallets, and the dashboard shows your allocation, performance over time, and even unrealized gains. The Glassnode DNA shows here - they clearly brought over some of their charting expertise. I check the mobile app most mornings with my coffee. It loads fast and gives me a quick snapshot without the information overload you get from apps like Delta or CoinGecko. One thing I wish they had: better alerts for price movements. Right now it is pretty basic on that front.

Let me be real about the mobile app - it is better than most tax software apps, but that is a low bar. The iOS and Android apps both work well for checking your portfolio and seeing your holdings across different wallets. I use it mainly for quick portfolio checks rather than doing any actual tax work on my phone. The sync is reliable and usually updates within a few minutes of a transaction hitting the blockchain. What you cannot do on mobile: edit transactions, generate tax reports, or do any serious reconciliation work. That is all web-only. For what it is meant to do - give you a mobile view of your crypto holdings - it does the job. I have seen way worse from competitors who seem to treat their apps as an afterthought.

This is where Accointing really earns its keep. If you live in Germany, the Spekulationsfrist is key - hold crypto for more than a year and the gains become completely tax-free. Tracking this across multiple wallets and exchanges gets complicated fast. Accointing handles this automatically and shows which coins qualify for the exemption and when. Tax reports export directly into formats German Steuerberater can work with, without needing to convert from an American format. The same applies to Austria and Switzerland - built-in support for the specific tax forms and rules in each country. For other European countries like France, Spain, and the Netherlands, support is decent but not as specialized.

DeFi tracking has gotten better over the past year. Accointing now supports about 60 protocols including Uniswap, Aave, Compound, and the major yield farms on Ethereum and BSC. The automatic detection works well for common swaps and liquidity provision, though I still had to manually categorize some of my more obscure Arbitrum transactions. Staking rewards are handled correctly - they get classified as income at the time received, which is how German tax authorities want to see it. One frustration: if you are deep into DeFi with lots of complex positions, you will still spend time cleaning up transactions. No tax software handles every edge case perfectly. But compared to doing this manually in a spreadsheet, Accointing saves significant time. NFT support is basic - it tracks purchases and sales but does not do anything fancy with metadata or rarity calculations.

Support is not Accointing's strong point. There is no live chat, which feels outdated in 2026. Users are limited to email support, and response times vary. CSV import questions can receive a reply within a day. Reports describe longer waits for complex API-sync issues. The knowledge base covers most common scenarios and video tutorials walk through the basics. The community forum can surface answers to questions others have already asked. Priority support comes with higher-tier plans. Users who need quick responses or hands-on help may find the support experience frustrating.

Accointing can import transaction data through supported integrations and CSV files. Use read-only API keys where available. Review each import because an API connection can omit, duplicate, or misclassify transactions.

Accointing's listed plans appear below. Prices, transaction limits, and included features can change. Confirm the issuer's current pricing page before you pay.

Plan comparison:

Choose a plan only after you have counted imports, manual adjustments, and any needed reports.

DeFi and NFT activity can create tax events that need classification. Accointing lists support for selected on-chain transactions. Review each imported swap, liquidity position, reward, and transfer. Confirm the applicable tax treatment with local guidance or a qualified tax professional.

Accointing can produce tax reports from imported transaction data. The report must match your source records and local filing rules. Review cost basis, dates, asset values, and missing transactions before you file.

Accointing's workflow requires account setup, data import, transaction review, and report generation. The steps and support options can change. Use a small import first and check the calculated records before you connect every account.

Accointing may suit people who can review imported transaction records and understand the applicable tax rules. Skip the tool if its country coverage, supported integrations, report types, or support model does not match your filing needs.

Accointing's calculation output depends on complete transaction data and the selected cost-basis method. Review every unresolved item and compare the result with source records before filing. A tax professional can help with complex or uncertain treatment.
