CoinLedger promises crypto taxes done in minutes and a free preview before you pay. We connected exchange and wallet history, ran a DeFi position through it and checked the report against TurboTax to see whether the $49 to $199 pricing matches what it actually delivers.
Every crypto tax product promises the same thing: connect your accounts, get a number, file. CoinLedger's version of that promise comes with a free look before you pay, which is rarer than it should be in this category. We tested it against a year that mixed three exchanges, two wallets and one DeFi position, then checked the output against TurboTax directly.
Free until you actually need the report
CoinLedger lets you connect every account, run the full gain and loss calculation and see your number with zero cost. The bill only arrives when you go to download Form 8949 or a capital gains report, and even then the price depends on how much history you have to cover.
The Hobbyist tier costs $49 for up to 100 taxable transactions a year, Investor runs $99 for 1,500, and Pro is $199 with no cap. Every paid tier gets the same report package, so the price difference is purely about volume, not features held back for higher tiers. Revisions are unlimited too: if an import needs fixing after you've paid, you re-run the report at no extra charge, and CoinLedger backs the whole thing with a 14-day refund window.
Importing was fast, until DeFi showed up
Connecting Coinbase and a Ledger wallet address took minutes, and CoinLedger built the transaction history without us touching a CSV. That is the easy 80% of the job for most casual investors, and CoinLedger handles it about as well as any competitor we have checked.
