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.
