Open CoinLedgerKoinly 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 29, 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 Where a platform does not publish a figure, the row says so instead of guessing, because an unpublished number is a real answer about transparency too.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 Kenya: 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 with 10,000 transactions · Transaction capacity: Up to 100,000 transactions on regular accounts (extra transactions purchasable in-app above top plan) | Koinly official website | accepts Kenya | Open account |
| CoinLedgerTop pick for Kenya | Free tier: Free Portfolio Tracking plan ($0): unlimited transaction imports, portfolio tracking, capital gains overview; tax report download NOT included (paid plans only) · Transaction capacity: not published | CoinLedger official website | accepts Kenya | Open account |
Each check below names the platform whose published number wins that row outright, using the values re-verified on July 29, 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.

Using Koinly or CoinLedger from Kenya
Signing up from Kenya puts Koinly and CoinLedger under a local rulebook, and it is not what the fee table alone tells you. The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) and the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) are jointly designated to license, supervise and regulate virtual asset service providers in Kenya. VASP licence under the Virtual Assets Service Providers Act, 2025 (Act No. 20 of 2025), effective November 2025; licensing opens only once implementing Regulations are issued, and no VASP has yet been licensed to operate in or from Kenya. How money actually reaches the order book here: M-Pesa mobile money is the dominant local payment rail in Kenya, and the typical deposit route for Kenyan retail crypto users. M-Pesa is operated by Safaricom, Kenya's leading mobile network operator; bank transfers and cards play a secondary role next to mobile money. On tax treatment in this market: Under the Finance Act, 2025, excise duty of 10% of the excisable value applies to fees charged on virtual assets transactions by virtual asset providers. None of this market context changes the Koinly figures in the table above — it decides how you act on them.
