Ghostfolio is the tracker for people who refuse to hand their holdings to an ad-funded app. Self-host it and your data never leaves your control.
By Wealthy Pot ยท Last updated June 2026
Pros
- Self-hostable and private โ no ads, no data harvesting
- Clean, modern web UI
- Tracks stocks, ETFs, crypto, and commodities together
- Active open-source project
Cons
- No research or screening features
- Free route requires self-hosting
- Smaller feature set than commercial trackers
Who Ghostfolio is for
Best for privacy-minded, mildly technical investors who want a clean, ad-free view of a multi-asset portfolio they own end to end. If you want it hosted for you, the managed plan removes the setup.
Pricing
Free (self-host); managed Ghostfolio Premium subscription available. There is a free tier you can use without paying.
Open-source & self-hosting
Ghostfolio is open-source (AGPL-3.0) and self-hostable โ your data stays on hardware you control. Skill level: intermediate. Source: GitHub repository โ.
The bottom line
Ghostfolio is the tracker for people who refuse to hand their holdings to an ad-funded app. Self-host it and your data never leaves your control. Main drawback: no research/screening; self-host setup needed for the free route.

We summarize hands-on assessment, not user reviews. As a web/desktop tool, Ghostfolio has no comparable app-store rating, so we show none. Pricing and features change often and are re-checked regularly. Some outbound links may be affiliate links โ that never affects which tools we include or how we rate them. Nothing here is investment advice.
