Our arithmetic from the listed prices, before sales tax, assuming today's prices hold; subscriptions can renew at a different rate. Prices are in US dollars and paid through Stripe. We found no free trial for Connect. A Plus tier at $24.99 a month or $249 a year is listed as "Coming soon" and cannot be bought yet.
How Wealthfolio works
Wealthfolio is an app you install on your Mac, Windows or Linux computer, iPhone or Android phone, or run on your own server with Docker. It keeps everything in a local database on your device, with no cloud database and no account required. You add holdings by hand or from CSV files and it pulls prices from Yahoo Finance or a provider you choose. It shows true time-weighted and money-weighted returns, compares them with a benchmark, and adds rebalancing against a target allocation, a retirement and FIRE planner, spending budgets and contribution-room tracking for IRAs and 401(k)s. An AI assistant works with your own API key or a local model.
Connect is the optional paid layer, run by Teymz Inc. of Ontario, Canada. Basic syncs between up to 6 devices and backs up to the cloud; Wealthfolio says data is encrypted on your device before upload so it cannot read it, with servers at Supabase in the US and Cloudflare. Essentials and Duo add read-only broker sync through SnapTrade, which holds any broker credentials; Wealthfolio says it never receives your login. Its list of 42 brokerages includes many US firms, with limits for some: Fidelity data updates once a day, and Wells Fargo sends no transaction history. The code is open source under AGPL-3.0, had 9,215 GitHub stars on October 19, 2026, and the latest release, v3.10.0, came out on October 14, 2026.
A hypothetical: you hold 25 positions at two brokers. The free app tracks them at no cost if you import CSV files from each broker yourself. Basic ($29 a year) adds sync between devices but no broker sync, so for automatic updates you need Essentials, which allows up to 5 connections: $79 a year, or $7.99 x 12 = $95.88 paid monthly, so yearly saves $16.88. A couple with accounts at 7 institutions between them is over the 5-connection limit and needs Duo: $129 a year, or $12.99 x 12 = $155.88 monthly. Once your holdings are in, our portfolio overlap tool shows whether your funds hold the same stocks.

Who Wealthfolio fits, and who should skip it
A good fit if
- You want your portfolio and net worth data stored on your own device, with no account.
- You hold accounts at US brokers and want read-only sync without giving the app your login.
- You want one app for investments, property, debts and a spending budget.
Look elsewhere if
- You want free automatic broker sync: getquin includes it on its free plan, though it is EU-focused and priced in euros.
- You want a web app you open from any browser: Ghostfolio.
- You need dividend and capital-gains tax reports: Sharesight.
Limitations to know
- Essentials allows up to 5 institution connections and Duo up to 12. [1]
- Broker data has per-firm limits: Fidelity updates once daily, Interactive Brokers can take 24 to 48 hours for the first sync, and Empower gives mutual-fund holdings for the last 2 years only. [4]
- Refunds are generally not provided; cancelling stops renewal at the end of the paid period. [2]
- The Plus tier with licensed market data and an AI assistant without your own key is not available yet. [1]
- We found no US tax reports such as Form 8949 output.

Security and privacy
- Wealthfolio says it does not sell your personal information and uses no advertising trackers; its website uses cookieless analytics. [3]
- Broker connections are read-only and run through SnapTrade (SOC 2 Type II), using OAuth where the broker offers it; otherwise SnapTrade stores the credentials encrypted, never Wealthfolio. [1]
- Connect sync and backup data is encrypted on your device before upload, and Wealthfolio says it cannot read it. Servers are at Supabase (US) and Cloudflare; SnapTrade operates in Canada and the US. [3]
- Without Connect, your portfolio data is stored only on your device. [7]

How we researched this review
We did not get paid or receive a free account for this page. We read Wealthfolio's own pricing page, help center, security and privacy pages and app-store listing on October 19, 2026, quoted each fact from those pages, and link every one below. We did not run a long-term hands-on test, so we do not score the app; where a point rests on what the company says rather than something we can check, we attribute it to Wealthfolio. Cost figures are our own arithmetic. We re-check prices and plans about once a month and log changes in the table above.
