rotki vs Waltio

rotki is an open-source, self-hosted portfolio manager, accounting, and analytics tool focused on privacy. It runs locally on Linux, macOS, and Windows, with data stored on the user's device in a SQLCipher database encrypted using 256-bit AES. Exchange connections use read-only API keys processed locally, while blockchain access uses RPC endpoints chosen by the user. The dashboard tracks assets, liabilities, exposure percentages, and changes in net worth. rotki turns on-chain activity into readable events and generates profit-and-loss and tax reports. Listed integrations cover numerous chains, including Ethereum, Bitcoin, Avalanche, Polygon PoS, Arbitrum One, and Base, with early Solana support; the product says it detects and decodes more than 140 DeFi protocols. Premium adds graphs and analytics, advanced staking, higher event limits, decentralized-exchange accounting, and DeFi historical profit-and-loss reporting. It also allows encrypted database backup and synchronization across devices. The Free and Starter plans include up to 1,000 recent events and 10 notes; Starter lists no ETH staking. Supporter is €9 a month, Basic is €25 a month, and Advanced is €45 a month.

Waltio tracks cryptocurrency holdings and prepares tax calculations and reports intended to help users comply with local rules. Its portfolio tracker displays wealth in real time, with allocation and performance comparisons. Tax reporting can include capital gains and losses, staking, farming, lending, mining and airdrops. Waltio says it categorizes DeFi transactions automatically, identifies spam tokens and tracks more than 10,000 assets. It lists more than 700 exchange, wallet and blockchain connections, available through read-permission API keys, public wallet addresses or uploaded transaction files. Plans include a free tier and paid options from €39/yr. The iOS app requires iOS 15.0 or later, and the service is also available on the web. Country coverage varies: outside supported localized tax forms, users may receive raw calculations that need a tax adviser to map to a return. Document downloads are not available in the mobile app, so users need a computer to export them.
