Syla vs ZenLedger

Syla is a web-based crypto tax calculator designed by Australian tax professionals. It prepares an ATO Crypto Tax Report PDF for self-lodgment or delivery to a tax agent, while stating that it does not lodge tax returns. Transactions can be imported through API and wallet syncs or by uploading account statements and CSV files. Syla says it supports more than 500 exchange, blockchain, and wallet integrations, including DeFi and NFT activity. The dashboard shows holdings and recent transactions and supports portfolio analysis. AI and fuzzy matching can classify events such as airdrops and chain migrations. The free plan has no time limit and allows imports, edits, and individual transaction tax outcomes, but report downloads require a paid subscription. Paid annual plans are Budget at A$49 a year, Assurance at 129.00 AUD, Tax Saving at 249.00 AUD, and Private Wealth at 399.00 AUD. Account limits range from 200 to 100,000 transactions depending on plan.
