The same eight questions, asked of both
| Question | Finary | Portfolio Terminal |
|---|---|---|
| Free plan | Free forever with 2 linked accounts and 2 goals; no dividend tracker.[1] | Free with no holding limit. A guest mode works without an account.[2] |
| Paid plans | Lite €54.99/year, Plus €149.99/year, Pro €349.99/year, billed yearly.[1] | Nothing to buy today. A Pro plan is in development at $9/month billed yearly ($11 monthly), with a waitlist.[2] |
| How holdings get in | Automatic sync with over 20,000 institutions through Powens, Flanks and Plaid; file import only for a few crypto platforms.[3] | Upload a CSV or Excel file or a PDF statement, paste a table, or drop a screenshot from any broker. Transaction-history CSVs from 10 brokers are read directly, plus a generic format. No automatic broker sync.[4] |

Finary alternatives: what people ask
Is Finary free?
Finary has a free plan that links 2 accounts and tracks 2 goals. Paid plans are Lite at €54.99, Plus at €149.99 and Pro at €349.99 a year (checked October 5, 2026). The dividend tracker is on Plus.
Does Finary calculate realized gains?
Its help center describes performance as an unrealized gain from the average buying price that ignores deposits and withdrawals. Portfolio Terminal records realized gains lot by lot (FIFO) and exports them as CSV.
Can Portfolio Terminal sync my accounts like Finary?
No. Portfolio Terminal has no automatic sync: you import a file or a screenshot, review it, and re-import when your holdings change. That is the trade-off for not sharing a bank login.
Does either one produce a French tax report?
No. Neither Finary nor Portfolio Terminal produces a tax report for tracked portfolios today.

Portfolio Terminal is made by the author of this page, so read the comparison with that in mind: every statement about Finary links to Finary's own pages, and Portfolio Terminal's limit is stated as plainly as theirs. Nothing here is investment advice.
