CoinStats alternatives: what self-custodians pick instead
The strongest CoinStats alternatives: Delta, Zerion, DeBank, Zapper, CoinTracker for taxes, and TrueHold. Which fits depends on what you hold.
Quick answer: the alternatives worth your time are Delta, Zerion, DeBank, Zapper, CoinTracker if taxes are the real problem, and TrueHold, which we build, so read that recommendation with the bias declared. The right pick depends less on feature checklists and more on the shape of your portfolio: mobile or web, EVM-only or everything, spot or perps.
Why people go looking in the first place
The common reasons we hear: the free tier stops covering a grown portfolio, perps and newer venues are missing or lag, the app pushes upsells harder than updates, or the custody philosophy just does not match how a self-custodian wants to connect. None of that makes CoinStats bad. It makes it a particular shape, and portfolios outgrow shapes.
The quick map
- Delta: polished mobile experience with broad exchange support. Strong if your portfolio lives on your phone and on CEXes.
- Zerion: wallet-native tracking for the EVM world. Strong if you live on Ethereum and its L2s.
- DeBank: EVM DeFi profiles with a social layer. Strong for comparing wallets and browsing positions publicly.
- Zapper: EVM portfolio plus discovery. Similar territory to DeBank with a different lens.
- CoinTracker and friends: tax software first, tracking second. Strong in March, quiet the rest of the year.
- TrueHold: strictly read-only tracking across CEXes, 180+ chains, DeFi, NFTs, and perp DEXes like Hyperliquid and Lighter. Our product; bias declared.
How to actually choose
Four questions settle it. Custody model: does the tool work with read-only keys and public addresses, or does it want more access than a tracker needs? Coverage: does it see everything you hold, including the venue you trade perps on, or will you keep a spreadsheet for the leftovers? Exports: when tax season comes, can you hand your accountant a usable file? Price honesty: is the free tier a product or a demo?
Where CoinStats still makes sense
A long track record, hundreds of integrations, and mature mobile apps. If your portfolio is mostly spot on major exchanges and you like tracking from your phone, staying put is a defensible choice. The switching pressure only really appears when DeFi and perps become a serious share of what you hold.
The case for TrueHold, bias declared
We built TrueHold for the portfolio that stopped fitting into one app: CEX accounts connected with read-only keys, wallets watched by address, DeFi positions decoded, and perps from Hyperliquid and Lighter totalled next to everything else. Nothing to custody, nothing to sign, an AI that answers questions about your own data. If that is the shape of your stack, we think we win the comparison. If it is not, one of the tools above will fit better, and that is fine. The full head-to-head lives in TrueHold vs CoinStats.
Frequently asked questions
Is CoinStats safe to keep using?
Generally yes, with the same hygiene as any tracker: connect exchanges with read-only API keys only, and revoke keys for tools you stop using.
What is the best free CoinStats alternative?
It depends on your stack. Zerion and DeBank are strong free options for EVM wallets, Delta covers casual CEX portfolios, and TrueHold is free to start across CEXes, chains and perps.
Can I run two portfolio trackers at the same time?
Yes. Read-only access means trackers do not interfere with each other or with your funds, so running two in parallel is the easiest way to compare them on your real portfolio.
