CryptoLens vs CoinTracker — built for the UK, not retrofitted

CoinTracker is a huge, polished product with millions of users — but it's built primarily for US tax filing. For a UK holder, you're paying for features you don't use and still have to manually translate gains into HMRC's matching order. CryptoLens is the opposite: small, UK-first, and focused on exactly what a UK self-assessment needs. 1. **GBP by default, SA108-ready export.** No "switch the currency in settings" — your tax summary lines up with the boxes on the HMRC return. 2. **Section 104 pool done right.** Same-day → 30-day bed-and-breakfast → Section 104 averaged pool, with the £3,000 2025/26 allowance pre-applied. 3. **Free forever tier with no sign-up.** Paste a wallet, see the numbers, leave. No credit card, no email harvesting. 4. **Under £5 a month for the full tax export.** Flat price, unlimited transactions. 5. **Fumble checker, sentiment, leaderboards, Telegram alerts** — analytics CoinTracker doesn't touch. Where CoinTracker still wins: the Coinbase partnership, TurboTax/H&R Block direct e-file, and a mature native mobile app. If you're filing in the US, use CoinTracker. For the UK, CryptoLens is a better fit.
