Koinly is one of the best-known crypto tax tools, but it's neither the only option nor always the most cost-effective or the most localized. SafeTax imports your transactions from 50+ exchanges and wallets, applies the official cost-basis method and tax form of your country of residence, and processes everything locally with zero data retention. This page compares SafeTax and Koinly on what actually matters: country coverage, accuracy, price, and privacy.
SafeTax vs Koinly: feature comparison
Both tools import transactions from major exchanges and compute capital gains and income. The main differences are localization, pricing, and how your data is handled.
SafeTax applies your country's official cost-basis method and maps the figures to your national tax form — for example form 2086 in France, Anlage SO in Germany, the IR3 return in New Zealand, Modelo 100 in Spain, or the Capital Gains Summary in the UK. Koinly produces a more generic report that often needs manual adaptation to your local form.
SafeTax is generally more affordable across its supported markets, with plans scaled to your number of transactions.
