UK individual taxpayers
Basic includes capital gains and income reports for all historic and current years, with unlimited integrations and accountant sharing, and Pro lifts the transaction cap.
Accountant-supported filers
Accountant sharing is on every plan, so a bookkeeper can review the report without exporting files by hand. CSV exports for other tools need the Pro plan.

What Recap does
- Capital gains and income
- Basic produces capital gains and income reports, both for past years and the current one. Basic produces capital gains and income reports, and the plan lists both historic years and the current year, so a late filer can catch up.
- Accountant sharing
- Every plan lets you share the account with an accountant, a plain way to hand over the data. The feature is on every plan, which makes handover to an adviser possible without paying for a higher tier.
- CSV exports
- CSV exports sit on Pro, not Basic, which matters if you need to feed numbers into other tools. Basic excludes it, so anyone feeding numbers into a spreadsheet or another system needs the £219 plan.
- Celsius loss harvesting
- Pro lists a feature for Celsius loss harvesting, tied to a specific platform failure rather than general harvesting. It is a narrow feature tied to one platform failure, useful only to people who held assets there.
- Company reporting
- Company adds balance sheet and chargeable gains reports with 10-day matching rules. Company is aimed at limited companies holding crypto, and it is priced excluding VAT at £349 per year.
How Recap handles your data
Recap's privacy policy contains the clearest model-training line in this category: it says portfolio contents and client information are not used to train AI models. Billing records are kept six years after the financial year ends, and automated database backups are kept one day. Feedback summarization runs on AWS in the UK and EU, and wallet screening by HopTrail runs on AWS Europe in London, with processing in the UK, EEA and other countries including the United States. No certification is named.
Where Recap falls short in practice
- No free tier. The pricing page lists only paid plans, so testing happens through the vendor's own sign-up flow, not a free tier. Testing happens through sign-up with a paid plan, which makes a wrong fit more costly to discover.
- Annual billing only. No monthly option appears, so a one-off filing still costs a full year. A one-off filing still costs a full year, whatever your usage, because no shorter billing period is listed.
- CSV needs Pro. Basic excludes CSV exports and caps at 5,000 transactions, pushing active traders to £219. Heavy traders should compare the £119 and £219 plans against the number of rows they will import.

Alternatives to Recap
Recap: common questions
How much does Recap cost?
Basic is £119 per year for up to 5,000 transactions, Pro £219 per year with unlimited transactions, and Company £349 per year excluding VAT. All plans are billed annually. The pricing page shows get-started buttons but no free tier. Company prices exclude VAT.
Does Recap use my data to train AI?
The privacy policy says Recap does not use portfolio contents or client information to train AI models. It also mentions an AI summarizer used on feedback text, running on AWS in the UK and EU. That is a narrow use separate from your wallet data.
Can my accountant access Recap?
Yes. Accountant sharing is listed on Basic and therefore on every plan. That lets an accountant review the capital gains and income reports without you exporting files. CSV exports are separate and need the Pro plan at £219 per year.
What does Recap's Company plan add?
Company costs £349 per year excluding VAT and includes everything in Pro, plus a balance sheet report, a chargeable gains report, 10-day matching rules and defined accounting year ends. It targets companies holding crypto rather than individual filers. Individuals do not need that level.
Does Recap offer a free plan?
No. The pricing page shows get started for free buttons, but no free tier is described, and every listed plan is billed annually from £119. Test by signing up and importing a wallet, then check what the account shows before paying.
