Ghostfolio Review, Pricing, and Features
Ghostfolio is an open-source, privacy-focused portfolio and wealth tracker for investors who want self-hosted control, multi-account portfolio tracking, net-worth dashboards, imports, charts, risk views, and REST API access. It is strongest for technical users who prefer transparency and self-hosting over a closed portfolio app, with Ghostfolio Premium available for managed cloud hosting and professional data-provider access. The tradeoff is operational: free use requires running and maintaining your own instance, while cloud pricing and data-provider details should be checked before choosing Premium.

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 Pricing, features, and availability may be incomplete or out of date.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.
