Most trackers show you a gain. Far fewer turn it into the line your tax authority asks for, and the ones that do usually build for a short list of countries. These five take five different routes through that problem.

The forms, the countries, the cost basis method, and what you get without paying.

What each one gives you, where it stops, and the pages those facts came from.
Multi-asset tracking with a filing pack per country that writes the actual boxes on the actual form, from Form 8949 and Schedule D to SA108, Anlage KAP-INV, Modelo 100, Schedule 3, Quadro RT and Formulaire 2074.
A dividend and tax specialist built around a handful of tax authorities, with a long record in Australia and New Zealand and reports shaped to those systems.
A desktop personal finance suite where investments sit beside budgeting and bills, with tax output aimed squarely at a US return and a handoff to TurboTax Desktop.
A crypto tax specialist that reads exchange and wallet activity and turns complicated on-chain history into a report a tax authority will take.
A research and screening tool with strong portfolio analytics, where the gain figures exist to help you judge performance rather than to fill in a return.
The difference is not that it calculates a gain. It is that the gain arrives already shaped into the form you have to fill in, under the matching rule your country insists on, with the boxes named and anything still missing spelled out.
Not a gains summary you retype, but the rows and totals in the order the form prints them. Here the US pack carries Form 8949 box A and box D disposals with all eight columns, then the box totals and Schedule D lines 7, 15 and 16. Seventeen more countries have their own, each built against that country's own form and matching rule.

Import the history, pick your country, and see the form fill itself in.
AllInvestView, on the evidence here. It builds country filing packs for eighteen countries that map to the actual form and box, while the other trackers on this page either concentrate on a handful of tax authorities, cover crypto only, or publish no tax report at all.
That depends on how complicated your return is. None of these products file anything for you. What a good tax report changes is the starting point: your accountant reviews figures instead of rebuilding them from broker statements, which is usually where the hours go.
Because the method is often not yours to choose. The UK pools shares at an averaged cost, Italy matches last in first out, Canada pools adjusted cost base across accounts and Spain uses FIFO for homogeneous securities. A tracker that only offers FIFO will give you the wrong figure in several countries.
Almost every country has a rule that delays or denies a loss when you buy the same thing back too soon, and the window differs: thirty days in the US and the UK, four weeks in Ireland, two months in Spain for a share on an EU regulated market. The rule only works if the tracker can see every account you hold, because the repurchase is often somewhere else.
For a small portfolio it can be. AllInvestView includes the capital gains and dividend tax reports on its free plan, while the country filing packs are paid. Sharesight puts tax reports behind a paid plan, Koinly puts the crypto report behind one, and Quicken has no free tier.
