I wrote my original Getquin review back in February 2022, when the platform was essentially a promising German startup with a clever social twist. Four years on, a lot has changed, and a fair bit hasn’t. I figured since things have changed not only for the company but also in the world AND the disclaimer at the top had been saying “an update is imminent” for over a year, it’s time to actually deliver on that promise. So without further ado: is Getquin still worth your time in 2026? Let me walk you through what’s the same, what’s improved, and where the gaps still hurt.

One of the biggest issues you can face as an investor is keeping track of your portfolio in a clear and intuitive way. Getquin, a European portfolio management (web)app, can help you with that.

What is Getquin?

For those who might have missed this post the first time, let me you take you through a bit of history.

Getquin is a portfolio tracking app founded in Berlin in 2020 by Raphael Steil and Christian Rokitta. The core pitch is simple: one place to track all your investments across brokers and asset classes, wrapped in a social layer that lets you see what other investors are doing. No trading happens inside the app, it’s purely a tracker and community.

Before Getquin, I personally just used Excel and YNAB. It’s possible to get a decent dashboard in Excel with up-to-date stock data, but it felt like walking on Legos every time I had to update it. And even using the fanciest designs it remained anything but user-friendly in my opinion.

How to get started with Getquin

The onboarding hasn’t changed much since 2022, which is a compliment as it was already smooth. The whole setup takes under five minutes.

1. Download the app on Android or iOS for free or go to getquin.com,
2. Follow the wizard, and within 5 minutes, you have a profile set up ready to start adding your portfolio(s).

Once you’re in, you create your first portfolio. Getquin supports a wide range of asset types: stocks, ETFs, crypto, bonds, real estate, and even collectibles. If your broker is on their supported list, you can connect it via Open Banking and let it sync. If not, you add transactions manually which I’ll come back to in a moment.

Your first portfolio

Once your account is created, you can add a variety of portfolios. Ranging from your house to your crypto accounts, such as Coinbase.

Each portfolio you add gets the same sections:

• Portfolio: Gives you a graph of your portfolio’s overall performance and your positions.
• Sales: Which positions have you closed over the portfolio’s lifetime? This view is minified.
• Performance: How well your portfolio performed over a given time period.
• Breakdown: Gives a detailed view per region, asset class, position, or sector.
• Dividends: Any dividends you received and dividends you will receive in the coming months.
• Transactions: Shows all your individual transactions.

Once you have made your first portfolio, it’s time to add your positions in the form of transactions.

Adding transactions

Adding any transaction happens in a very similar fashion, regardless of the type of asset.

Select the portfolio you wish to add the transaction to and go to the bottom of the page. Here you also see an overview of all your past transactions, including upcoming dividends—a neat little future.

Here comes the first drawdown, though. You can only add your transactions manually for almost all bank and investment accounts.

Manually adding your transaction

If you have multiple portfolios, make sure you select a specific portfolio before you start; otherwise, you can’t add a transaction.

For the sake of giving this platform a fair shot, I actually committed myself to manually adding every transaction I made over the years on all of my portfolios/accounts.

Automation is clearly an area they still need to work on. In their defense, while PSD2 allows them to obtain information from third parties, the process is cumbersome and requires customers to authenticate frequently. So for the moment, it’s only reserved for German users. (Update 2026: this has since improved. Getquin now supports Open Banking connections for Trade Republic, DEGIRO, Scalable Capital, ING, and more across Europe. See the “What’s Actually Changed Since 2022” section below.)

Detailed overview of each position

Each portfolio has a detailed view of all your stocks positions:

• You see the name
• How many shares you own
• The total size in your portfolio
• How much profit or loss you’ve made so far
• Relative or absolute return

But there is more. Get into the nitty-gritty by clicking on a position and finding all its related company information.

Not only is your position visible here, but also those of like-minded traders in the Getquin community. On top of that, you also see the community’s opinion on this stock. Analyst Ratings and the stock’s financials help finalize the picture.

Besides your current positions, you will also see the sales you’ve done in the past.

The aggregated overview

Each portfolio comes together in your aggregated portfolio. Have multiple accounts? All your positions are combined into one extensive portfolio overview in the aggregated portfolio.

Don’t like having a specific portfolio part of it? Toggle it, and nobody but you will see it. Give each portfolio a descriptive name to help distinguish and easily switch between them.

Like the individual portfolio, your aggregated one has the same sections allowing you to get a birds-eye view of your financial situation.

Getquin’s other selling points

Getquin positions itself as an all-in-one social portfolio manager. The latter portion of the description clearly ticks quite some boxes, but the app and website have more to offer:

1. Social platform
2. Explore investment ideas
3. Powerful search and real-time quotes for stocks crypto, forex, and indices

Social platform

Probably the most unique feature of Getquin is that you can share your stock picks with other like-minded people and exchange ideas and trades. Other apps like Delta offer portfolio management but lacks any form of real social interaction.

Explore investment ideas

Once you have seen the latest actions of the community, you might feel eager to start a new position. Getquin got you covered here as well.

You can explore articles and guides about gold, trackers, cryptocurrencies, etc.

This still needs some work, though. At times there isn’t a whole lot of useful info.

Powerful search and real-time quotes

To get such an overview of your stock picks, you first have to find them. Getquin enables its users to find any and all effects. Be it traditional stocks or the more volatile crypto market.

Other apps such as Delta provide a similar feature and give similar results, but Getquin does better at providing info on European stocks. Take my Kinepolis position. The graph on getquin is up to date and accurate. Delta? Not so much. Their data is completely lacking in the daily time frame.

On the other hand, Delta gives more technical details about the stock; even my Kinepolis example has stuff like shares outstanding,  average volume, etc., something Getquin clearly misses.

How safe is Getquin?

Getquin is definitely on the safe side of portfolio management apps.

This is because Getquin doesn’t actually allow its users to make any trades on their portfolio accounts via the app. Users can only connect their exchange accounts or add their transactions manually for the purpose of tracking their latest trades on the exchanges and their current crypto holdings. (Update 2026: Open Banking now extends well beyond Germany — major European brokers like DEGIRO, Trade Republic, and Scalable Capital are supported. See the “What’s Actually Changed Since 2022” section.)

This provides an incredible level of security for Getquin users, as there is no need to worry about securing an account that grants access to many accounts. Of course, this comes with the tradeoff of not being able to trade assets directly in the app, which creates a bit of overall friction with the process of managing your portfolios.

The cost of Getquin

Originally, GetQuin started as a fully free platform and technically, it’s still free. But like many apps before them, they started a premium offering after a few years and moved things that were once free into this paying offering or stopped providing more useful features for free and immediately made them pay. A man’s gotta eat as they say.

At the moment, you can enjoy most of what Getquin has to offer for free. But do you want the latest and fanciest graphs? You’ll have to fork out some cash for Premium.

What’s Premium?

The screenshots below are from the original 2022 review. Pricing has since changed: as of 2026, the premium plan costs €49.99 per year. The screenshots are kept for historical reference.

What’s Actually Changed Since 2022

User growth: from niche to… less niche

When I first covered them, Getquin had around 200,000 users concentrated in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). By 2026, that number will have grown to over 500,000 users across Europe. Web traffic reportedly surged 358% over the past year, which suggests the growth isn’t just legacy momentum; something is actually working.

That said, let’s keep this in perspective. Half a million users in four years across an entire continent isn’t explosive. For comparison, Trade Republic crossed 8 million clients. Getquin is still very much a tool for a specific kind of investor: the one who cares about tracking, community, and transparency rather than just executing trades. If you’re reading a FIRE blog, you probably know who you are.

The broker integration problem is (mostly) fixed for Europeans

This was the biggest practical frustration in my original review. In 2022, automatic transaction syncing was only available for German bank accounts. Everyone else had to enter transactions manually, a process I likened to developing carpal tunnel syndrome after inputting years’ worth of crypto.com cashback transactions.

In 2026, Getquin added Open Banking connections for Trade Republic, DEGIRO, Scalable Capital, Interactive Brokers, Consorsbank, ING, and several others. If you use one of the major European brokers, you likely don’t need to type in every transaction anymore.

The catch: some of these connections only pull your current holdings, not your complete transaction history. So if you want accurate performance calculations from day one, you may still need to do some manual backfilling. And if your broker isn’t on the supported list, you’re still doing it the old-fashioned way there’s no CSV import option to fall back on.

The freemium model is here to stay

In 2022, I listed “everything is free” as a pro. I actually already walked this back in a later update to the post, because Getquin had moved features behind a paywall. In 2026, the structure is clear and stable: the free tier covers the basics well, and premium costs €49.99 per year.

Premium adds advanced dividend forecasting, time-weighted return calculations, benchmarking against indices, and a few community features. For most casual investors, the free tier is genuinely sufficient. For anyone who takes their performance tracking seriously, the premium price is reasonable, and it’s cheaper than a monthly Spotify subscription, but still, yet another subscription.

The social community has matured

This was always Getquin’s clearest edge, and it remains so. No comparable portfolio tracker has built a real community around it. You can still browse anonymized portfolios, follow investors with similar goals, and discuss individual stocks. For a FIRE investor who wants to see how others are building their portfolios, that’s genuinely useful. You do have to remain skeptical enough not to just copy what you see.

What Still Frustrates Me

You can’t export your own data

This is the one that would make me hesitate before going all-in on Getquin. There is no way to export your transaction history or portfolio data. None. If you want to switch to another tool or just keep a personal backup, you’re stuck. Everything you’ve entered lives on their servers and stays there.

For a platform that’s been running on a single funding round ($15M Series A, closed in June 2022, with nothing reported since), that’s a risk worth thinking about. They seem to be operating sustainably, but the combination of no data export and no recent public funding would make me careful about making Getquin the only place I store my financial records.

No tax support whatsoever

This didn’t matter as much to me when I first wrote about Getquin, but after going freelance and paying close attention to how my investments are taxed, the absence of any tax reporting is a real limitation. No cost basis tracking, no capital gains calculations, no tax reports for your broker or accountant.

For Belgian investors this is more nuanced than it first appears. Belgium doesn’t tax capital gains on stocks, but we do pay a beurstaks (TOB) on every transaction, and distributing ETFs trigger a 30% roerende voorheffing on dividends. GetQuin tracks none of this. It won’t calculate your TOB, won’t distinguish between accumulating and distributing ETFs for tax purposes, and won’t help you fill in your annual tax declaration for foreign accounts. For German, French, or UK investors where capital gains reporting is mandatory, the gap is even bigger. Either way, you’ll need a separate tool or your own records for tax season.

Analytical depth is still limited

The dashboard is clean and intuitive, but if you want to run real performance analysis: custom benchmarks, detailed drawdown analysis, portfolio simulations, unfortunately, Getquin isn’t the tool. It’s built for visibility, not for the kind of nerdy number-crunching that FIRE people tend to enjoy.

Is GetQuin geschikt voor de hangmat belegger?

The passive investing movement — known in Belgium as hangmatbeleggen — has become the dominant approach among Belgian and Dutch FIRE investors. With Yoran Brondsema’s book “De Hangmatbelegger” selling over 30,000 copies, the “VWCE and chill” crowd is now the majority, not the exception. So the fair question is: does GetQuin actually serve this type of investor?

The honest answer is: partially. If you buy one or two broad ETFs every month via Trade Republic or DEGIRO and just want to track how your portfolio is growing, GetQuin’s free tier does that job well. The visual dashboard is clean, it handles VWCE and IWDA without issues, and there’s actually an active VWCE community on GetQuin where passive investors share their portfolios and discuss strategy.

Where it falls short for the passive investor is the social layer itself — the core feature GetQuin is built around. If you’re not interested in seeing what others are buying or sharing your own picks, you’re paying (in time and data) for something you don’t use. The lack of automatic rebalancing suggestions, the absence of a Belgian tax module, and no CSV export are all bigger pain points for the methodical hangmat belegger than for a casual active investor.

Bottom line for passive investors: GetQuin works as a tracker, but tools like Curvo or a simple spreadsheet may serve your workflow better if community features aren’t your thing.

The Competition Has Gotten Serious

When I wrote the original post, Delta was basically the only comparable alternative I could name. In 2026, the European portfolio tracker space is genuinely competitive:

• DonkyCapital has emerged as a strong alternative for multi-broker European investors, with direct CSV import from DEGIRO, Trade Republic, Scalable Capital, and more. If the manual entry problem was your main frustration with Getquin, this is worth a look.
• Capitally launched in 2023 and positions itself as a privacy-first alternative. No social features, but the analytics are deeper and you actually own your data.
• AllInvestView connects to 30+ brokers automatically via SnapTrade and includes tax reporting for 14+ countries, including Germany.
• Portfolio Performance remains the free, open-source veteran for anyone who wants complete control and doesn’t mind a steeper learning curve.
• Curvo deserves a special mention for Belgian and Dutch passive investors. It’s both a portfolio tracker and an investment platform built specifically around index fund investing in the Benelux. If you’re a hangmat belegger who buys VWCE every month, Curvo understands your workflow in a way GetQuin — which is built around active stock picking and community sharing — simply doesn’t.

None of these match Getquin’s social layer. If community is what you’re after, Getquin is still the only real choice.
But if you primarily want robust tracking and data portability, the alternatives are worth serious consideration now.

Veelgestelde vragen over GetQuin

Is GetQuin gratis?

Ja, GetQuin heeft een gratis versie die voor de meeste beleggers meer dan voldoende is. De premium versie kost €49.99 per jaar en voegt geavanceerde functies toe zoals tijdgewogen rendement, benchmarking en uitgebreide dividendprognoses.

Werkt GetQuin met Trade Republic?

Ja. GetQuin ondersteunt Trade Republic via Open Banking. De synchronisatie werkt, maar let op: sommige verbindingen halen alleen je huidige posities op, niet je volledige transactiegeschiedenis. Je moet mogelijk oudere transacties nog handmatig aanvullen.

Wat is het beste portfolio tracker voor Belgische beleggers?

Dat hangt af van je stijl. Voor passieve ETF-beleggers (hangmat beleggers) is Curvo een sterke keuze. Voor wie meerdere brokers combineert en een sociale component wil, is GetQuin de beste optie. Voor belastingrapportage kijk je beter naar AllInvestView of Sharesight.

Kan ik mijn data exporteren uit GetQuin?

Helaas niet. GetQuin biedt momenteel geen exportfunctie voor je transacties of portfoliodata. Dat is een belangrijk nadeel als je wil overstappen naar een andere tool of een eigen backup wil bijhouden. Overweeg om parallel een eenvoudige spreadsheet bij te houden.

Is GetQuin veilig?

Ja. GetQuin laat geen transacties toe via de app — het is puur een tracker. Alle Europese gebruikersdata staat op EU-servers en voldoet aan de GDPR. Tweefactorauthenticatie is beschikbaar.

Final Verdict: Still Worth Trying, But With Clearer Eyes

My 2022 conclusion was “give them a shot, at worst you waste some time.” I’d still say that, with a few more caveats. Getquin has grown into a more mature product. The broker integration is meaningfully better. The community is real and active. The premium pricing is fair.

But vendor lock-in is a genuine concern, and the tax reporting gap has become more relevant as the EU investor base has grown more sophisticated. If you’re going to use Getquin as your main tracker, I’d recommend keeping a parallel record of your transactions somewhere you control; a simple spreadsheet works fine.

The social angle remains their biggest edge and something no competitor has replicated. Its probably still the most valuable element for a FIRE investor who wants to see how others are progressing toward financial independence. Just don’t treat it as a passive investing signal. The social aspect should ONLY be used as inspiration.

Try Getquin for free and see if the social community clicks for you. The free tier is generous enough to find out.
