CoinTracking vs Orange Way Books

CoinTracking combines cryptocurrency portfolio tracking, analysis, and tax reporting. Its country-specific reports cover more than 100 countries, including IRS Form 8949, HMRC, and ATO reports. It supports imports from more than 400 exchanges, wallets, and blockchains through API, CSV, or blockchain addresses; its engine detects DeFi swaps, staking rewards, NFT trades, and margin positions. Portfolio tools include more than 25 customizable reports, interactive charts, and profit-and-loss reports. Additional listed tools include AI Tax Saver, a CSV File Converter, and Source of Funds, with availability varying by plan and country. Android and iOS apps sync with an existing account. The free plan provides portfolio view only, while Starter is $49 a year and includes 200 transactions. A seven-day trial with unlimited imports is listed for the Free plan. CoinTracking says user data is stored in Germany, encrypted at rest and in transit, and handled under GDPR compliance. Its exchange connections use read-only API keys that cannot trade or withdraw funds.

Orange Way Books is an open-source, double-entry bookkeeping application for Bitcoin-native and privacy-conscious small businesses. It runs as a self-hosted web app, with working code that the project describes as early development. Core tools include accounts, journal entries, transactions, contacts, invoices, payment requests, attachments, and audit logs. The browser computes profit and loss, balance sheet, trial balance, general ledger, cash flow, and foreign-exchange revaluation reports. Sensitive business fields are encrypted before leaving the browser, so the server stores ciphertext it cannot decrypt. Organizations can assign Owner, Admin, Accountant, Bookkeeper, Auditor, and time-limited Support roles. CSV and QuickBooks workbook imports are supported, with JSON data takeout. An optional Orange Rails integration supplies bank and exchange feeds. Transaction dates remain visible to the server, and on-chain Bitcoin transactions remain public. Payroll and tax-filing integrations are not included. The project uses the Apache-2.0 license and requires local setup with Bun and Supabase.
