Coinpanda review 2026: best UK alternative to Koinly?
Our test of Coinpanda for UK crypto tax in 2026: 9.4/10, free 25-tx tier, HMRC CGT-ready report and 1,000+ exchange integrations.
Coinpanda is the strongest UK alternative to Koinly we tested in 2026, scoring 9.4/10. It does the things UK filers actually need — HMRC share-pooling, the 30-day rule, and a Capital Gains report formatted for SA108 — and does them at a noticeably lower price for small portfolios, with a free tier that covers up to 25 transactions. If your trading volume is modest, Coinpanda often comes out cheaper than the market leader.
Coinpanda in two sentences
What is Coinpanda?
Coinpanda launched in 2018 and supports more than 65 jurisdictions, including the UK with a dedicated HMRC-compliant Capital Gains report. Under the bonnet it's a transaction aggregator: it pulls in your trades, transfers and rewards across exchanges and wallets, applies the correct tax-lot logic for your country, and outputs a report you can hand to HMRC or your accountant.
For UK users, Coinpanda's integration list is its biggest advantage — over 1,000 exchanges and wallets compared with Koinly's 800+. If you trade on smaller venues or hold tokens on a less common chain, you are more likely to find a native integration here.
UK-relevant features
- UK Capital Gains report.A dedicated "UK" setting that switches the tax-lot logic to HMRC pooling, applies same-day and 30-day matching, and outputs totals aligned with SA108 boxes.
- Income report.Staking, airdrop and mining rewards valued in pounds at the spot rate on the day received, ready for the SA100 "other taxable income" section.
- £3,000 annual exempt amount tracking. Live preview shows your taxable gain as you import, so you can see whether a planned disposal pushes you over the allowance.
- 1,000+ integrations. Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, Crypto.com, Bitstamp, Gemini, Bitfinex, KuCoin, OKX, Bybit and a long tail of smaller venues. Plus 250+ blockchains and 100+ wallets.
- NFT and DeFi tracking. Native support for Uniswap V3 LP positions, Aave, Compound and most EVM-chain DeFi. NFT cost basis is tracked per token.
- Free preview. All paid features are visible in the dashboard before purchase. You only pay if you need to download a report or unlock more than 25 transactions.
Pricing and free tier
Coinpanda's sweet spot is the small-portfolio segment. The free 25-transaction tier is enough for many casual buy-and-hold investors to confirm they're under HMRC's £3,000 allowance, and the paid plans kick in at lower transaction thresholds than the competition. Pricing in pounds (2025/26 list, paid per tax year):
| Plan | Transactions | Price (GBP/year) | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | 25 | £0 | Buy-and-hold investors |
| Hodler | 100 | ~£39 | Casual UK investors |
| Trader | 1,000 | ~£79 | Active investors and stakers |
| Pro | 3,000+ | ~£159 | DeFi power users and traders |
Versus Koinly the prices are very similar at the headline level, but Coinpanda's free tier (25 transactions versus Koinly's preview-only) makes a real difference for the smallest portfolios.
Our test
We tested Coinpanda with the same UK portfolio we used elsewhere: about 320 transactions across Coinbase, Binance, Kraken and Crypto.com, plus a Ledger BTC holding and a MetaMask wallet with positions on Uniswap and Aave. Account setup took 12 minutes; integrations were faster to connect than expected because the Coinbase and Binance flows were one-click OAuth rather than manual API key generation.
The UK tax setting kicked in correctly: Coinpanda matched a 0.4 ETH disposal against an acquisition five days later (textbook 30-day rule) rather than against the Section 104 pool, and ignored a same-day round-trip of LINK which had no economic effect. The Capital Gains report came out as a PDF plus an Excel working paper listing every disposal — useful for the accountant.
We did find one annoyance: a small Aave deposit/withdraw pair on Arbitrum imported as two separate disposals rather than a non-taxable transfer. The fix was a one-click reclassification, but it's the kind of thing a casual user could miss. Worth reviewing the "needs review" tab carefully before exporting.
Pros and cons
- Generous free tier (25 transactions) with full feature preview
- 1,000+ exchange and wallet integrations — broadest coverage we tested
- UK Capital Gains report respects HMRC pooling and 30-day rule
- OAuth flows for the major exchanges — easier setup than API keys
- NFT cost basis tracked per token, not aggregated
- Cheaper than Koinly at the very smallest portfolio sizes
- Some DeFi deposits/withdrawals classified as disposals by default
- SA108 mapping less polished than Koinly's — more re-typing
- Income report less granular for staking variants (restaking, liquid staking)
- Customer support slower during Self Assessment season
Our verdict
Coinpanda is the right pick for UK filers with smaller, simpler portfolios who want HMRC-correct numbers without paying for the market leader. The 25-transaction free tier is genuinely useful, the integrations list is the broadest we've seen, and the share-pooling and 30-day logic are accurate. For DeFi-heavy or very high-volume users, our top pick is still Koinly; if you also need US TurboTax integration, look at CoinLedger.

Frequently asked questions
Is Coinpanda HMRC-compliant for UK Self Assessment?
Yes. Coinpanda produces a UK-specific Capital Gains Tax report that uses HMRC's share-pooling rules and the 30-day bed-and-breakfasting rule. You can drop the totals into SA108 boxes for your Self Assessment.
What is the cheapest Coinpanda plan in pounds?
The free tier covers up to 25 transactions and is enough to confirm whether you are over the 3,000 pound CGT allowance. Paid plans start at roughly 39 pounds (Hodler, 100 transactions) and scale to about 159 pounds for the Pro plan with 3,000+ transactions.
How does Coinpanda compare with Koinly for UK users?
Koinly has a deeper UK feature set and a slightly more polished SA108 export. Coinpanda is cheaper for very small portfolios, has a generous 25-transaction free tier and supports more exchanges (1,000+ versus Koinly's 800+). For most UK filers, Koinly still wins on report quality.
Does Coinpanda support DeFi and NFTs?
Yes. Coinpanda imports transactions from Uniswap, Aave, Compound, Curve and most EVM chains, plus Solana NFTs. DeFi support is solid for the major protocols, though some long-tail farms still need a manual CSV.
Can I import my Coinbase, Binance and Kraken trades?
Yes. Coinpanda supports read-only API keys for Coinbase, Coinbase Pro, Binance, Kraken, Crypto.com, Bitstamp, Gemini and most other major exchanges. CSV imports are available for any platform without a direct integration.
Does Coinpanda file my Self Assessment?
No. Coinpanda calculates the figures and produces the HMRC report; you submit the Self Assessment yourself or via your accountant. Coinpanda is a calculator, not an HMRC-registered tax agent.
