Hedger vs Sharesight

Sharesight is a portfolio tracker from New Zealand, widely used in Australia, NZ, Canada, and the UK. Broad broker integrations, automatic dividend tracking, tax reports tailored for those markets. Well-designed, well-funded product with years of polish.

Hedger is a one-person project focused on Czech investors. Goes deeper on return attribution and audit trails, but younger and smaller. If you're in AU/NZ/UK, Sharesight is probably the better choice. If you're a Czech investor, Hedger was built specifically for you.

What Sharesight does well

• Mature, polished. 15+ years, team of 50+, continuous development. Stable, well-documented.
• Tax reporting for AU/NZ/CA/UK. CGT calculations, dividend imputation credits (AU), integration with local tax workflows.
• Broker integration. Automatic trade-confirmation imports from major brokers — often no CSV needed.
• Auto dividend tracking. Detects and records dividends, corporate actions, splits automatically.
• Clean professional UI. Good charting, performance reports, clear overview. Looks and feels like a real financial tool.
• Multi-currency. Solid handling of international holdings and FX for global portfolios.

What Hedger focuses on differently

• Czech tax report. FIFO lots, 3-year time test, CNB FX rates, withholding tax tracking, mojedane.cz XML. Sharesight has no Czech tax support — built for AU/NZ/CA/UK.
• Period attribution. For any position and period, returns split into Price / FX / Income / Fees / Deposits / Taxes. Sharesight shows performance but not the same per-position decomposition.
• Audit trail. Every number traces back to the broker CSV row. Sharesight tracks transactions but doesn't drill back to source.
• Options. Full IBKR option chain — every premium trade, expiry, assignment. Sharesight's docs say it doesn't handle options; for an IBKR power user trading short puts or covered calls, that's a meaningful gap.
• Market intelligence. Earnings, news, macro events filtered to your holdings. Weekly digest in-app and email.
• Free during beta. Sharesight's premium plans run $19–$29+/month for full features.

In short

Pick Sharesight if you're in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, or the UK and want tax reports for your local system. Mature, polished, well-supported.

Pick Hedger if you're a Czech investor needing Czech tax reporting (FIFO, CNB rates, mojedane.cz XML). Or you want deeper return attribution per position per period, or an audit trail that traces every figure to the broker CSV row.

Honest take: Sharesight is years ahead of Hedger in polish, team size and broker coverage. If Sharesight supported Czech tax rules, it would be very hard to compete with. Hedger exists because that Czech tax gap is real, and because deep attribution and audit trails aren't yet standard in most trackers.
