Koinly and Summ both publish their terms — this page compares them line by line for South Africa. Neither platform publishes enough overlapping numbers for a mechanical verdict in South Africa, so this page puts the terms they do publish side by side, each linked to its source. Every figure was re-checked against official pages on July 11, 2026, and the row-level sources are one click away below.
Koinly and its counterpart are lined up on the same published rows below — entry-tier costs, verification, coverage, and local availability — with the winning cell decided by the published number alone, re-checked on July 11, 2026. Where a platform does not publish a figure, the row says so instead of guessing, because an unpublished number is a real answer about transparency too. Use the availability row first if you are signing up from South Africa: a cheaper venue that cannot legally take your registration is not cheaper.
| Brand | Published value | Source | Availability | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Koinly | Free tier: Free plan: $0 free forever, 10,000 transactions, unlimited wallets/exchanges, portfolio tracking + capital gains preview; paid plan required only to download tax reports · Paid plans: not published | Koinly official website | accepts South Africa | Open account |
 Summ | Free tier: free signup: import, auto-categorization, portfolio tracking; reports require a paid plan · Paid plans: Rookie $49 / Hobbyist $99 / Investor $249 / Trader $499 per tax year | Summ official website | accepts South Africa | Open account |
Each check below names the platform whose published number wins that row outright, using the values re-verified on July 11, 2026. Koinly and its rival keep their source links in the last row, so any cell can be audited in one click before you commit funds — and if a provider stops publishing a value, the row flips to "not published" on the next re-check rather than staying frozen.
