Best Ghostfolio Alternatives in 2026

For US dividend investors, REWD is the strongest Ghostfolio alternative: a free tier with unlimited holdings, automatic sync across 40+ brokerages from $9.99/month, a free dividend safety score, and 20+ FIRE calculators. If self-custody of your financial data is non-negotiable and you're comfortable operating a Docker stack — or entering every transaction by hand — Ghostfolio is the best tool in its niche and its privacy stance is unmatched. For investors whose goal is tracking and growing dividend income with minimal friction, REWD is the opposite trade: hosted, automatic, and dividend-first. Pick by which trade-off you actually want.

Yes. REWD's free plan has no holding cap and includes dividend safety signals, 2,500+ stock research pages, and every calculator. For reference, Ghostfolio's free tier is: Unlimited transactions and accounts (self-hosted, or feature-limited cloud).

Ghostfolio is priced at Free (self-hosted) · Premium $48/yr (managed cloud) (Free cloud tier lacks allocations, summary, and benchmarks; Premium doesn't auto-renew). Alternatives range from genuinely free (REWD free tier, Digrin) to $9.99–$19.99/month for automatic sync.

Ghostfolio owns the privacy position honestly: open source under AGPLv3, self-hostable with Docker, and the cloud version doesn't even collect your email address. What sends dividend investors elsewhere is everything downstream of that design. There is no brokerage sync of any kind — every buy, sell, and dividend is manual entry or a CSV/JSON import, and the community maintains sidecar tools just to automate the importing. Self-hosting means running PostgreSQL and Redis yourself. And dividends are thin by design: Ghostfolio records them, but its own FAQ notes the performance calculation excludes dividends, and there's no dividend calendar, no safety scoring, and no forward income projection anywhere in the product.
