Ghostfolio

Open-source portfolio-tracking and wealth-management app, self-hostable for free or usable through an official paid cloud version.

Visit Ghostfolio Alternatives

Ghostfolio is an open-source portfolio-tracking application focused on investments rather than everyday budgeting, tracking stocks, ETFs, and cryptocurrency across accounts with performance metrics, asset-allocation breakdowns, fee-impact analysis, and X-ray-style exposure reports. The core software is self-hostable via Docker with a PostgreSQL database, giving full data control at the cost of running and maintaining a server. For users who don't want to self-host, the maintainers offer an official paid cloud edition, Ghostfolio Premium, which funds ongoing development and covers hosting and market-data provider costs. This dual model — free self-hosted core, optional paid hosted convenience — mirrors other open-source personal finance tools and lets users choose between control and convenience without switching products.
