Are you using Bitcoin.Tax today but are looking for a better alternative? In this article, we will break down the most important reasons why you should consider moving from Bitcoin.Tax to Coinpanda. We will also explain in more detail how to make the switch to Coinpanda.
Exchanges and blockchains
Bitcoin.Tax does not support many exchanges and blockchains with API today. In fact, the total number of supported exchanges is only 32, and they don’t have direct API integration with any blockchains either. In contrast to this, Coinpanda supports almost all exchanges and blockchains that exist today. At the time of writing, Coinpanda supports more than 400 exchanges and 125 blockchains.
| Tax Platform | Exchanges | Blockchains | Wallets |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bitcoin.Tax | 32 | 0 | 0 |
| Coinpanda |  400+ | 125 | 185+ |
DeFi and NFTs
DeFi has been one of the hottest topics this year. What many DeFi degenerates don’t consider is the tax implications their DeFi transactions have. In general, every transaction where you either exchange or otherwise dispose of an asset is a taxable event! If you find yourselves in this situation, it is important that you find a crypto tax solution that can help you with generating a tax report for everything DeFi and liquidity mining.
Since Bitcoin.Tax does not have API integration with any blockchains, they do not support DeFi or NFTs either. However, they seem to support uploading the CSV file format from Zerion, so this might be a temporary workaround solution that might work for some users.
Coinpanda supports almost all DeFi transactions today including liquidity mining, staking, borrowing, and lending. In addition to ETH and BSC, Coinpanda also supports other EVM and L2 chains like Polygon, Avalanche, Fantom, and Moonriver.
| Tax Platform | Liquidity mining | Staking | NFTs – EVM chains* | NFTs – Cardano |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bitcoin.Tax |  No | No | No | No |
| Coinpanda | Most pools/protocols |  Partly | Yes | Yes |
When it comes to NFT support, there is a clear winner: Bitcoin.Tax does not support NFTs for tax calculations at the time of writing, while Coinpanda does this for Ethereum and all other EVM chains including Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, and Avalanche!
After adding your public address to Coinpanda, you will be able to see all your NFT transactions on the Transactions page including a free preview of the gain/loss for every transaction. As a bonus, Coinpanda has also support for NFTs on Cardano.
Portfolio tracking
Bitcoin.Tax does not offer much functionality for portfolio tracking today. They seem to be focused on supporting tax calculations only, so you will not be able to track your crypto portfolio using Bitcoin.Tax.
Coinpanda is both a crypto portfolio tracker and a tax solution that lets you connect your exchange accounts and wallets using either API keys or your public addresses. The Dashboard page gives you a full overview of your portfolio holdings and the latest movements in the crypto market.
If you are looking for a combined portfolio tracker and tax solution, your best option is most likely going to be Coinpanda.
Customer support
Doing your crypto tax calculations can be both a very challenging and intimidating task, and it’s critical that you get enough support and help so that you are able to generate an accurate tax report.
Bitcoin.Tax does not offer live chat for any of its users. However, they do offer email support to all users, including users that are on their free plan. Coinpanda, on the other hand, offers 100% free support including live chat to all users whether they have upgraded their tax plan or not. This is something you must consider if getting the appropriate help and support is important to you.
| Tax Platform | Live Chat | Email Support | Forum Support | Help Center |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bitcoin.Tax | No | All users | No | Yes |
| Coinpanda | All users | All users | All users | Yes |
Both platforms have an extensive help center with published help articles that explain most of the functionality, how to troubleshoot missing transactions, and how to import transactions from different exchanges and blockchains.
Pricing
Both Bitcoin.Tax and Coinpanda have a similar pricing plan structure. How much you need to pay depends on the total number of transactions for a specific tax year. All plans give you lifetime access to download tax reports for the year which you have upgraded. Both platforms have also custom plans for users with a large number of transactions exceeding the lower plans seen in the table below.
| Tax Platform | Free plan | Plan 1 | Plan 2 | Plan 3 | Higher limit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bitcoin.Tax | 20 txs | $39.95 1,000 txs | $49.95 5,000 txs | $59.95 10,000 txs | $129 50,000 txs |
| Coinpanda | 25 txs | $49 100 txs | $99 1,000 txs | $189 3,000 txs | $389 20,000 txs |
How to switch from Bitcoin.Tax to Coinpanda
If you are already a Bitcoin.Tax user and want to switch to Coinpanda, here is what you need to do:
You will need to import all your historical transactions to Coinpanda that you have previously imported to Bitcoin.Tax. This includes all your transactions from all years you have traded crypto.
Coinpanda supports all the same exchanges that Bitcoin.Tax supports, so it should be fairly quick to add all your accounts and API keys and import the same transactions. Remember that you will (most likely) need to make any manual adjustments to the transactions imported to Coinpanda if you did this using Bitcoin.Tax.
