The best crypto portfolio trackers

Introduction

All cryptocurrency investors who invest money into digital assets monitor their successes or failures differently. Someone just goes to the website of the exchange they use and someone installs mobile applications, in which they make changes to the portfolio. Each of these moments has its pros and cons. We will talk about them today.

If you are going to start your road in investments, our material will be enough to not just start investing money into digital assets but monitor them and act responsively. It is worth noting that there are a lot of such applications and you can easily find other crypto trackers, however, it is better to use proven services. Otherwise, you can find little-known applications, which are intended to steal financial resources.

CoinMarketCap

As we have mentioned many times in our other materials, CoinMarketCap is a service, which has become the first step in the world of investments among many cryptocurrency investors. The reason for it is the simplicity of the application, its functionality, and its high popularity. The cryptocurrency market aggregator has become perhaps the most famous in the entire digital asset space.

At the same time, the management of the project has developed a mobile application, which allows investors (beginners and not only) to create various crypto portfolios and add their assets to them, and follow the path of their assets.

Discussing the mobile application of CoinMarketCap, it has become one of the most popular trackers on Android devices ever. It was downloaded more than 5,000,000 times and its score of 4,7 points out of 5 is based on 123,000 reviews. The iOS version has also become pretty popular. Users have rated the cryptocurrency investment tracker almost 108,000+ times and the mobile application has a score of 4,8 points out of 5.

Regarding the browser version of CoinMarketCap, it is as comfortable as the mobile one and it works by the same principle. Initially, you create an account, after which enter the portfolio menu and do management. The function of creating separate portfolios is available for investors, for example, if they want to divide Bitcoin and the high-risk assets. Otherwise, you can add all digital assets to one category and not spend time on such separation.

The competitiveness of CoinMarketCap is pretty high. Except that the resource has become one of the most popular, it can offer monitoring of over 11,000 digital assets. Unfortunately for the fans of more professional monitoring with the use of the API service, CoinMarketCap does not provide such an opportunity.

The service displays various variables for each of your assets. Users can see the trading volumes for the last 24 hours, the maximum and minimum reached by the token in the last 24 hours, and other variables. It is worth noting in a special way that to follow actual information in the 24/7 mode, CoinMarketCap collects data from more than 300 cryptocurrency platforms on its website, from which it transfers data to mobile applications.

Of course, if you need to have the fastest quotes second per second, CoinMarketCap will not suit you because the relevance is a bit different from the date received by an exchange. However, if you are an average investor but not a crypto trader, this application will be more than enough.

As a pleasant addition, CoinMarketCap has the function of following the news related to your cryptocurrency assets and also events of the upcoming ICO and other stuff that can influence your further actions. Generally, we evaluate this application as nice and can confidently recommend it to cryptocurrency investors, especially beginners. Working with CoinMarketCap is very comfortable both on the mobile version and the desktop one. The only thing you will need to work a bit with is adding your assets. You will need to specify the price the assets were purchased for and the time when the purchase was made to fill your portfolio. The price on CoinMarketCap can be a bit different from the relevant data. In this case, monitoring will be pretty accurate and comfortable. In all other aspects, there are no complaints about this service.

Pros and cons

Pros

• A web version
• A mobile version for Android and iOS devices
• The ability to compare two coins by various parameters, including price, trade values, and market capitalization in different periods
• Receiving the news regarding the assets interesting for you
• Receiving information about the upcoming ICO and other interesting events
• View up-to-date information on the crypto portfolio using various 90+ fiat currencies
• View information about gold, silver, and platinum using 90+ fiat currencies
• A mobile application and sign up on the website are free and have no limits

Cons

• When adding a digital asset to a portfolio, you must set a price and time the asset was purchased due to a small divergence from the actual data

Uphold

Uphold is an interesting instrument for monitoring your assets. It works just like other similar programs but it has a few features. In Uphold, investors can add their assets to one portfolio and follow them. Unlike CoinMarketCap, Uphold is not limited to cryptocurrencies. Users who invest their money in various things will be pretty satisfied by the application, since not just Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies but metals, fiat currencies, and even securities can be added to a portfolio.

In such a way, people who are beyond the investment in one cryptocurrency will find this application developed by the self-titled company Uphold pretty useful for them.

It is worth noting in a special way that users who add one or another asset to their portfolio get access, not to just actual prices but all the important news related to certain objects. Besides, they have an understanding of what maximum and minimum an asset reached over the past day, what trade value was in the last 24 hours, and many others.

Besides adding various objects to your portfolio, users can also convert to fiat money of their choice and have an expanded view of their holdings. For your comfort, the application includes the ability to sort your assets alphabetically or by the current balance. You can see the history of purchases and sales of assets in the application.

It is worth talking in detail about taxes. If desired, users can add this parameter too, so it would be comfortable to follow not just purchases and sales of cryptocurrencies, metals, and securities, but the paid taxes, which will ease making calculations. Upholds also allows exporting all the statistics and history + taxes in the form of a table. To do the whole procedure, you will need to deal with Uphold API and use third-party software, however, users will be able to receive the necessary tables to make reporting about earned money on cryptocurrencies much easier.

It is worth noting that Uphold can also be called a popular application because it was downloaded more than 5,000,000 on Google Play, just like the previously-mentioned CoinMarketCap. The program got 4,6 points out of 5 and the score was based on 36,100+ reviews, which is significantly fewer than in the case of the above-mentioned competitor. The remarkable thing is that the application earned the same score on AppStore. 4,6 points out of 5 is an average score in the reviews provided by 29,600+ users.

Amid all the previously discussed advantages, there are pretty serious disadvantages. First of all, Uphold provides services to clients, not from all countries, which cuts some part of the users who could download the application. Secondly, at the moment of writing, you can’t add your assets to a portfolio on the website, which makes you download a mobile application. On the one hand, mobile applications are quite convenient, and on the other hand, users of CoinMarketCap will be able to try out how it works on the site first, after which they can download the application if they wish.

The pros and cons of Uphold

Pros

• The mobile application is available both on iOS and Android devices and has good reviews
• You can add assets that are beyond the world of cryptocurrencies and include expensive metals and securities
• Monitor taxes on your assets
• Convert cryptocurrencies, expensive metals, and securities into any fiat currency
• A free application

Cons

• Available not in all countries
• Has no web version

CoinTracker

CoinTracker is a pretty good application for monitoring your digital assets but significantly different from the rest of the competitors. We are talking about reports, which can be made by users to report their taxes.

This function was previously mentioned in Uphold, however, CoinTracker is almost built around this function. Due to this application, investors can enter the monitoring menu and check a specific period, in which changes in the cryptocurrency portfolio were made, after which export the statistics in the form of a table and report to your country.

Besides, users have an opportunity to take a look at the statistics not just for a particular period but sort data by specific cryptocurrencies.

The remarkable thing is that your hardware wallets like Ledger or Trezor can be linked to the CoinTracker application and make the process of monitoring your cryptocurrency portfolio semi-automatic. It is worth noting that the company CoinTracker connected the synchronization with 300+ cryptocurrency exchanges to its application. This allows it to monitor more than 8,000 digital assets.

The application is used by many people who prefer to simplify the process of monitoring taxes and cryptocurrency rates as much as possible thanks to convenient sorting and filtering by various parameters. According to some information, CoinTracker helped to follow the movement of $20,000,000,000+ and demand $600,000,000 of taxes thanks to comfortable reporting.

Since we have talked about the advantages, it is time to discuss the drawbacks of the application. First of all, CoinTracker is far from being the most popular application in the crypto industry segment. It was downloaded only 100,000+ times on Google Play and the number of reviews on the market for Android devices is below the mark of 5,000, meanwhileб the situation with the App Store is way better. More than 11,000 clients have shared their opinion about the application there.

The score on the App Store is significantly higher (4,7 points against 4,1 on Google Play), just like the number of users. It is explained by the fact that the audience of the App Store is more solvent and tolerant of paid programs. So let’s talk about another drawback.

As previously mentioned CoinMarketCap and Uphold are free software, which does not require payments, but the situation is the opposite with CoinTracker. The basic service of users will serve nothing while using a free subscription but the advanced functions will require some payment. To get access to Hobbyist, you will need to pay $59, the Premium subscription will cost $199. Compared to other representatives on our list, CoinTracker provides good opportunities for a pretty high price. It will be easy to find similar alternatives for free, especially considering that we have covered reporting in the Uphold application.

The pros and cons of CoinTracker

Pros

• Add various assets to your portfolio
• Comfortable monitoring
• A nice system of reporting
• The ability to make a report for a specific period or with the desired asset

Cons

• The main advantage of the application is unlocked only in paid subscriptions, which cost $59 and $199
• The version for Android smartphones has a score of 4,1 out of 5, which is not that high compared to competitors. Besides monetization, the drawbacks can include errors during working with the application

Blockfolio

This is one of the best applications of this format for cryptocurrency investors and traders. By the way, it suits individuals and individual entrepreneurs, as well as large companies that want to track their investments.

Besides the status of one of the best monitoring of crypto portfolios, Blockfolio has also secured the title of one of the oldest services, if not the oldest one. The project launched in 2014 and at the moment of writing the material, it has more than 6,000,000 registered users, which not every monitoring service can boast of.

The remarkable thing is that Blockfolio clients can integrate their cryptocurrency wallets from 15+ exchanges into the service. If users choose the largest exchanges such as Binance, Kraken, Coinbase, and so on as storage, then this list will be enough for them. Such a market offering can be considered, at least, competitive because other monitoring services can’t boast of such an achievement.

For example, if you need to specify all your investments manually on CoinMarketCap, this process can be semi-automatized on Blockfolio, just like with CoinTracker, or even fully automated.

Besides, Blockfolio has advantages, unlike some monitoring services, in the form of notifications regarding the currencies you are interested in. Service clients can add digital assets to their list, about which they will receive the necessary news and other notifications, which will help in the process of accurate management and investing money.

To make monitoring as comfortable as possible, a special instrument called Signal was developed for Blockfolio; it, according to its name, indicates all trading data and provides the actual information. The application has more than 28,000 reviews on the App Store and almost 150,000 reviews on Google Play.

Amid such advantages, there is one obvious drawback. Blockfolio is now available in the form of a mobile application and, considering that the company has not realized a web version for 9 years, it is not worth expecting this service on desktop PCs soon.

However, users would be pleased by the fact that all functions of Blockfolio are available for free and the developers do not ask money for various subscriptions, which provide some advantages.

The pros and cons of Blockfolio

Pros

• The mobile application is available on iOS and Android devices
• The quality monitoring and indication of actual price changes of assets
• Completely free application
• Time-tested quality

Cons

• It is available only on smartphones. A web version has not been introduced yet

Bitstamp

Bitstamp is among the five most successful cryptocurrency exchanges in the world. The management of the platform has decided to realize not just a mobile version of its exchange but make the process of monitoring cryptocurrency investments comfortable. But the list of digital assets that can be added to your portfolio is not that impressive, compared to the competitors of the platforms, and is equal to 73 cryptocurrencies. However, it can be enough for people who only pay attention mainly to flagship crypto assets and are not interested in high-risk investments.

The advantage of monitoring a portfolio on Bitstamp was that you can monitor your assets both on a web version and a mobile application for Android and iOS devices. The remarkable thing is that a version has different scores and feedback depending on the platform. On Google Play, Bitstamp has more than 500,000 downloads and 11,800+ reviews, which determined a score of 3,7 points out of 5. In the case of the App Store, there are only 85 reviews, which reflects a score of 4,7 out of 5.

The Bitstamp application provides comfortable instruments for monitoring digital assets and it can be sorted by various parameters and choosen to track statistics for a specific period. Like in the case of other similar applications, this will help investors to make a report and pay taxes.

Unlike its many competitors, Bitstamp can connect API for third-party instruments, which will make accounting better and expand the capabilities of managing a portfolio. The Luxembourg exchange can boast of the fact that your money can be withdrawn immediately to credit or debit cards. Besides, the platform works with various hedge funds, neobanks, cryptocurrency brokers, prop traders, and aggregators, so the functionality of the application can surprise you pleasantly.

It is worth understanding that Bitstamp is not a typical application for monitoring your cryptocurrency investments but a cryptocurrency platform that has a mobile application. Monitoring has good functions and the support of API but this function is secondary. However, if you monitor one of the best cryptocurrencies, Bitstamp will suit you not just in terms of the quality of the exchange but the monitoring application.

The pros and cons of Bitstamp

Pros

• Good functionality of the monitoring service
• The support of API provides big capabilities in managing a portfolio and making a report
• One of the oldest applications and exchanges, which are time-tested
• Bitstamp is an exchange, which enters the top 5 crypto platforms in the world
• Partnerships with various banks and other structures make the process of working with the exchange easier

Cons

• There are only 73 crypto assets
• The mobile application for iOS is not highly popular. The option for Android devices has a low score
• Monitoring cryptocurrency assets is not the main purpose of Bitstamp but one of the directions. First of all, Bitstamp is a cryptocurrency exchange

Crypto.com

First of all, it is worth noting that Crypto.com is not a standalone tracker for cryptocurrency portfolios but a digital asset exchange, which has the function of monitoring crypto assets.

However, the functions of Crypto.com are pretty significant and users can follow the pricing and monitor their portfolios, connecting with their cryptocurrency wallets. The remarkable thing is that it is not mandatory to sign up on the website to use some functions of the cryptocurrency exchange like monitoring prices and other things. However, if you want to add your assets to a portfolio, you will not avoid this step.

The functionality of the exchange tracker is not bad but it can’t be called extraordinary too. Just like in the case of other monitoring services, users can monitor the price of crypto assets in the 24/7 mode and find the trade value over the past 24 hours, the maximum and minimum price over the last day, and the coin’s general capitalization. Token tracking allows you to monitor assets on 7-day charts.

Crypto.com has a solid base in the application for smartphones. This is a bit surprising because Crypto.com does not even enter the top ten successful exchanges and placed only 16th on this list. However, people like this application so much that more than 10,000,000 owners of Android devices downloaded it and 429,000+ people left their reviews, which are equal to 4,6 points out of 5 on average. In the case of the App Store, there are only 1,100+ reviews of the application and the overall score is 3, which is very surprising. Meeting the application on the App Store with a score lower than on Google Play is a very rare case.

The pros and cons of Crypto.com

Pros

• There are web and mobile versions of the application
• It is possible not only to monitor changes in the price of existing cryptocurrencies but also to purchase them
• Crypto.com provides an opportunity to issue a cryptocurrency card
• Supporting NFT tokens
• The software is completely free

Cons

• First of all, this is a cryptocurrency platform and only then, it is a service for monitoring your portfolio

Conclusion

To decide on software for monitoring cryptocurrency assets, which is suitable for you, you will need to understand what you will be working with and what functions you want to use. If you are good only in cryptocurrencies, then almost any application will satisfy your demands. Bitstamp, which has only 73 assets, can be the only exception when you want to work with high-risk assets.

If you are interested not just in cryptocurrencies but expensive metals and securities, you will better pay attention to Uphold. The arsenal of assets, which can be added to your portfolio is way bigger than the competitors’ ones.

If the popularity of the software and the recognition of many people means a lot to you because it will let you understand that a cryptocurrency portfolio application deserves your attention, Crypto.com will suit you for sure. As we said previously, this software is highly popular on mobile devices and Android users have downloaded the application more than 10,000,000 times.

It is also worth mentioning what functionality you need and how much you are ready to pay for it. If you are just at the beginning of your path in investing activity and do not worry about making your reports, any application will suit you. If you are ready to pay money for the quality functionality and need to export tables regarding your profits, you will pay attention to CoinTracker and Uphold. In the first case, you can spend $59 and $199 for the more advanced options and get good instruments and, in the second case, you can do similar things for free but it will take more time to understand the mechanics.
