Compass-Alpha

Where Compass-Alpha differs

  • Every tax year in one price, up to 3,000 transactions a year (Pro Large above that).
  • You see the estimate for every sale before you pay anything.
  • Earlier years too: Belgium 2023–2025 under the old rules (with your trading next to the ruling service's guidelines) and the Netherlands 2024–2025, at no extra cost.
  • Five languages and 30 European countries, with the official source behind each rule.
  • Free lessons and videos on crypto basics and scams, next to the tax tools.
  • Your accountant gets a free view of your report, with the figures for the Belgian and Dutch tax return.

Koinly

When Koinly may suit you better

You also file outside Europe: Koinly lists more than 140 countries and US forms such as Form 8949 and TurboTax support.

  • No exchange login, no stored keys

    You upload the files your exchange gives you. We never ask for exchange passwords or wallet signatures. Your data is stored in the EU (Frankfurt) and never sold.

  • One price, no fee per tax year

    Every tax year is included, and your whole history in the files you upload counts for your purchase prices, so older buys are not lost. Pro covers up to 3,000 transactions a year; Pro Large up to 20,000.

  • Free for your accountant

    Share your report and your accountant gets a free dashboard: the figures, open issues and a CSV. No subscription for them. Available for accountants in Belgium and the Netherlands.
