Ghostfolio Review, Pricing, and Features
Ghostfolio
Ghostfolio is an open-source portfolio and wealth tracker with self-hosting, multiple accounts, net-worth dashboards, imports, charts, risk views, and a REST API. Technical users get control and transparency; managed cloud hosting and professional data providers sit in Premium. Self-hosting means handling deployment, security, backups, and updates yourself.
Best for
- Privacy-conscious users looking for an open-source portfolio and net-worth dashboard they can self-host.
- Technical investors valuing Docker/self-hosting, REST API access, imports, and transparency over polished brokerage sync.
- Investors comparing managed cloud portfolio trackers with a free open-source option and paid hosting.
Watch out
- Free use requires running and maintaining your own Ghostfolio instance and data setup.
- Premium starts at $48 per year. Self-hosting is free but requires the user to operate the software and its data setup.

Curation & Accuracy
This directory blends AI‑assisted discovery with human curation. Entries are reviewed, edited, and organized with the goal of expanding coverage and sharpening quality over time. Your feedback helps steer improvements (because no single human can capture everything all at once).
Details change. Pricing, features, and availability may be incomplete or out of date. Treat listings as a starting point and verify on the provider’s site before making decisions. If you spot an error or a gap, send a quick note and I’ll adjust.
