Comparison
I've used all three of these tools. Not just tried them — actually used them seriously for tracking real money over multiple market cycles. So this is not a spec sheet comparison. This is a real-world look at which tool actually helps you execute an exit, versus which ones are really just showing you a very pretty dashboard.
Spoiler: only one of them was built with exits in mind from the ground up. But let me walk through each one properly.

Delta is genuinely one of the best-looking financial apps I've ever used. The design is clean and fast. It tracks crypto, stocks, ETFs, commodities — pretty much anything you own. If you want a single place to see your entire net worth across all asset classes, Delta is hard to beat on the UX side.
The price alerts work fine. You set a number, you get notified when the price crosses it. Clean, simple, reliable.
But here's where Delta hits a wall for me as an exit strategy tool: it's built to show you data, not act on it. The price alert fires, and then what? There's no concept of "I planned to sell 30% of my XRP at this level." There's no acknowledgment. No logging of actual sales. No running tally of what you've taken out versus what's still in. You're still doing all of that in your head or in a spreadsheet on the side.
Delta has been pushing harder toward being a brokerage-adjacent product. That's fine. But if what you need is an exit planning tool, you're using it as something it wasn't designed for.
CoinStats is the go-to for serious crypto people. It connects to more wallets and exchanges than anything else I've tried. DeFi support is solid. The NFT portfolio tracking is genuinely useful if you're in that world. For crypto-only tracking, it's probably the most feature-complete free option out there.
The alerts are decent. You can set multiple price alerts per coin. The app notifies you reasonably fast when they fire.
Same problem as Delta though. The alert is where the tool's job ends. What you were planning to sell, how much, what price you actually got, how it affects your overall position — none of that lives inside CoinStats in a structured way. You're patching it together yourself.
I used CoinStats for two years and I can tell you: it made me a better watcher. It did not make me a better seller.
ExitLedger was built starting from the exit, not the portfolio. That sounds like a small philosophical difference but it changes everything about how the tool works.
When you add an asset in ExitLedger, the first thing you're asked about (after the basics) is your sell targets. Not your wallet connection. Not your tax settings. Your exit plan. Because that's the thing that matters most for actually making money.
Each sell target has a trigger type (price or market cap), a threshold, a direction (above or below), and a quantity you're planning to sell. When it fires, you get an email. The email shows you the projected proceeds. You click to acknowledge it. You log the sale. Your average cost basis updates. Your remaining position updates. Your realized P&L for that trade gets recorded.
This is the full loop. Set the target before you buy. Get notified when it hits. Confirm and log the sale. See what you walked away with. Move on.
The trade-off is that ExitLedger doesn't auto-sync with exchanges. You enter your holdings manually. For a lot of people, that's fine — it takes 10 minutes to set up and you update it when you trade. For others who want full live sync across 15 wallets, Delta or CoinStats does that better right now.
Here's my honest take based on what problem you're solving:
Most people need all three of these tools to solve different problems. But if you're only going to fix one thing about how you invest, fix the selling problem first. That's where most of the money gets left on the table.
The dirty secret of the portfolio tracker market is that none of them make money when you sell well. They make money when you stay on the platform, stay subscribed, and keep tracking. ExitLedger is an exception to this because it's free — we're not incentivized to keep you hooked on a dashboard. We just want to help you execute your plan.
Set your first sell targets in under 10 minutes. All features, free forever.
