FAQ

Answer the objections in plain language.

Is FolioFlux trying to replace Koinly as a tax product?

Not exactly. The current FolioFlux position is narrower: wallet-first onboarding, imported records, portfolio views, analytics, and tax-ready workflows that stay tied to one shared record.

Who should still pick Koinly?

Pick Koinly if broad tax-report generation and compliance depth are the main reasons you are shopping in this category.

Does FolioFlux still support tax workflows?

Yes. FolioFlux includes tax-report routes and export-oriented workflows, but the product goes beyond tax alone and starts earlier in the wallet journey.

Start from the wallet, then move into portfolio and tax workflows

Open the live workflow instead of keeping the choice theoretical.

If your workflow begins with self-custody identity and imported activity, onboarding is the right entry point.
