Best Investment and Portfolio Trackers 2026: India & US

Picture a fairly ordinary portfolio: five mutual funds, three stocks, a couple of ETFs, maybe a little crypto. That's ten-plus holdings, and most consumer apps flatten the whole thing into one line that says "investments" and a number. Useful for a glance. Useless for the questions that actually decide your returns: which fund is dragging, whether two of your funds own the same stocks, and what selling one will cost you in tax.

An investment tracking app exists to answer those. This is a working guide to the ones worth using in 2026, split by the two markets we cover, India and the US, because the best app for a Mumbai investor and the best app for one in Ohio are not the same, and almost no other guide says so.

What does an investment tracking app actually do?

An investment tracking app analyzes what's inside your portfolio, each holding's return, cost basis, dividends, asset allocation and capital gains, rather than just summing your account balances the way a net-worth app does. That's the line that separates the category. A net-worth app tells you the total is ₹15 lakh. An investment tracker tells you the ELSS fund is up 14% annualized, two of your funds overlap on the same four large-caps, and selling the oldest lot triggers long-term capital gains.

The distinction only starts to matter above a certain size. One fund holding ₹50,000 needs no analytics. A portfolio of ₹15 lakh or 30,000 dollars across funds, stocks and foreign holdings needs the view. To keep this focused, we're staying on portfolio analytics here and handing the neighbors off: for where your money goes each month see best expense tracker apps, for planning spend before it happens see best budgeting apps for beginners, and for the total assets-minus-liabilities picture see best apps to track net worth.

Is a portfolio tracker the same as a stock tracker?

A portfolio tracker and an investment tracker are two names for the same thing, but a stock tracker often is not, because much of what gets sold that way is really a watchlist. It follows prices you are watching, and it has no idea what you own. That single distinction decides whether an app is any use to you, and almost no roundup draws it.

What you actually want	What it gets called	What it shows
What I own and how it has done	portfolio tracker, investment tracker, holdings tracker	cost basis, XIRR, asset allocation, capital gains
What the market is doing today	watchlist, stock market app, price tracker	live prices, often for things you do not own

The searches split along the same seam. Someone typing "apps to track stock portfolio" or "best apps for portfolio tracking" wants the top row. Someone typing "best apps for tracking stock market" usually wants the bottom one, and will be disappointed by everything on this page. Yahoo Finance and Google Finance sit squarely in that bottom row, which is why they turn up on lists like this and then fail to answer the question that brought you.

Everything on this page is a top-row tool. That is deliberate, and it is why the fork in the next section is about which of your assets an app can hold, which matters far more than the quality of its price charts.

One India-specific name worth knowing here, because it straddles the two rows. Tickertape pairs a holdings dashboard with a stock screener for Indian and US stocks, ETFs and mutual funds, and it reports 65 lakh downloads with roughly ₹60,500 crore of tracked assets on its own homepage. Read the ownership before you read the recommendations: it operates from smallcase, registered as Anchorage Technologies Private Limited, and smallcase sells investment products. That is the same thing to check on any free tracker, and the free-in-India section below explains why every one of them is free.

What shows your diversification and fund overlap?

The app feature people mean by "tracking diversification" is an allocation breakdown plus a holdings-overlap check, and the second one is far rarer than the first. Allocation tells you the split across equity, debt, gold and cash. Overlap tells you that three of your funds own the same four large-caps, so you hold less diversification than the fund count suggests.

Most Indian trackers do allocation. Value Research and INDmoney both show the asset-class split, and the mutual-fund tools listed below (ET Money, Kuvera, MF Central) carry portfolio overlap because Indian fund disclosures make it computable. In the US, Empower's allocation view is the free standard and Morningstar's X-Ray is the paid one people actually cite.

The concept underneath is in what is diversification, and it is worth being blunt about the limit: an app can show you an overlap percentage, it cannot tell you what your allocation should be. That judgement belongs with an adviser.

Do you need a mutual-fund tracker or an all-asset tracker?

The first fork is whether you want a mutual-fund-only tracker or an all-asset tracker, because Indian apps split cleanly into these two buckets and most listicles never tell you which is which. Pick the wrong bucket and you either drown a simple SIP portfolio in features or find your stocks and NPS have nowhere to go.

Type	What it tracks	India examples	US examples
Mutual-fund-only	SIPs and lump-sum MF holdings, NAV, XIRR, overlap	ET Money, Kuvera, RupeeVest, Zerodha Coin, MF Central	(US has no direct equivalent; funds sit inside all-asset tools)
All-asset	MF, stocks, ETFs, NPS, EPF, PPF, gold, foreign holdings	INDmoney, Value Research, MProfit, Moneycontrol	Empower, Kubera, Sharesight, Morningstar

If your investing is entirely SIPs, a mutual-fund tracker is cleaner. The moment you add direct stocks, EPF, NPS or US shares, you want an all-asset tracker so the whole thing sits in one rupee view.

What are the best free investment trackers in India?

In India the strongest free trackers are INDmoney and Value Research for all assets, and ET Money or Kuvera for mutual funds, all free because they earn from broking or fund distribution more than subscriptions. India is unusually well served here, better than the US on free all-asset tracking.

INDmoney pulls Indian stocks, mutual funds, US stocks, ETFs, FDs, NPS, EPF and PPF into a single net-worth-and-portfolio view at no cost. Value Research My Investments does the same across funds, stocks, NPS, PPF, gold bonds, REITs and FDs, and imports your funds straight from a CAS. For a mutual-fund-first investor, ET Money tracks external funds free and shows XIRR instantly, while Kuvera (owned by CRED) covers direct mutual funds plus stocks, US assets and FDs.

Two honest caveats. Zerodha Console and Coin are excellent and free, but they only show what you hold at Zerodha, so they work as a within-broker view rather than a true consolidator. And Moneycontrol's tracker is free and all-asset but relies on manual entry with no automatic sync. Several of these names, Empower, INDmoney and ET Money, also appear in our budgeting and expense guides; here we're looking only at their portfolio side and leaving the spending features to those guides.

How do you import all your mutual funds at once?

A Consolidated Account Statement (CAS) is a single statement, generated on your PAN, that lists every mutual fund transaction across every fund house, produced jointly by the registrars CAMS and KFintech, and it's how apps import your whole fund portfolio in one step. SEBI mandates it, so it works regardless of which app or broker you bought through.

The flow is short. Go to CAMS, KFintech or the joint MF Central portal, request a mailback CAS using your PAN and registered email, and a password-protected PDF lands in your inbox. Upload that PDF to a tracker that accepts it, Value Research and MProfit both do, and every fund you own appears at once. No adding schemes by hand, no missing an old folio. MF Central is the CAMS-plus-KFintech gateway built specifically so you see all fund houses in one place.

Worth knowing: the newer RBI Account Aggregator framework, a consent-based way to share financial data between institutions, is meant to make this even smoother, but mutual-fund trackers largely don't use it yet. Value Research openly notes the aggregator route is not available on its tracker at the moment. For now, CAS is the reliable path.

How do you get an ITR-ready capital-gains statement?

For filing, you want a capital-gains statement that splits short-term and long-term gains in the format your ITR needs, and the cleanest sources are the CAMS and KFintech capital-gain statements plus apps like MProfit that export directly in Income-Tax-Return format. This is a genuine India pain point that most tracker round-ups skip entirely.

Both registrars generate a capital-gain and loss statement on request, the mutual-fund equivalent of the CAS but for realised gains. Among apps, MProfit states plainly that it produces capital gains for stocks, mutual funds and bonds in ITR format, which is why serious trackers and many CAs use it despite its paid pricing. There's also an open-source tool, casparser, that reads a CAS PDF and outputs an ITR Schedule 112A CSV for equity and equity-fund gains. Because the tax treatment of each sale depends on holding period, regime and your other income, treat any app's number as a starting point and confirm the final figures with a qualified chartered accountant before you file.

What are the best investment trackers in the US?

In the US the default free pick is Empower, formerly Personal Capital, a free all-asset dashboard with a fee analyzer, but it links only US brokerages and banks, so it does nothing for an Indian portfolio. That US-only limit is the single most important thing no US listicle mentions, and it's why the India section above exists.

Empower stays free because it monetizes through wealth-management advisory calls, not the dashboard. Beyond it, the US field is mostly paid and specialized. Verified 2026 pricing:

App	Pricing (2026)	Best suited to
Empower	Free (US accounts only)	Free net-worth plus investment dashboard, fee analysis
Yahoo Finance / Google Finance	Free	Lightweight watchlist and holdings tracking
Sharesight	Free up to 10 holdings, then about $7 to $23.25 a month	Dividends, corporate actions, multi-country tax reports
Snowball Analytics	Free tier, paid $79.99 to $249.99 a year	Dividend-income investors
Morningstar Investor	$249 a year or $34.95 a month	Fund research plus Portfolio X-Ray analysis
Kubera	About $250 a year	All assets including crypto, real estate, private holdings
Seeking Alpha	Free basic tracker, Premium $299 a year	Research and ratings alongside tracking

Sharesight is the one that also serves Indian investors well, since it imports from Indian brokers and handles cross-border tax reporting, though its India tax reports are newer than its Australia or UK ones. Kubera is the pick when the portfolio sprawls into property and alternatives. Snowball is the dividend specialist. Morningstar earns its fee on research depth more than tracking alone.

Which US app replaced Mint?

Mint was shut down by Intuit on 23 March 2024, and users were pushed to Credit Karma, but Credit Karma is a credit-monitoring product, not a real investment or net-worth tracker, so it does not replace Mint's portfolio side. Plenty of pages still list Mint as if it were live, or date its closure wrong, so this is worth stating cleanly.

For the investment and net-worth job Mint used to do, Empower is the closest free like-for-like, with Monarch Money as a paid budgeting-plus-investments option. And the Personal Capital name confusion trips people up: Personal Capital was acquired and rebranded to Empower Personal Wealth, so "Personal Capital" and "Empower" are the same dashboard, just before and after the rename. If a guide recommends both as separate apps, it's out of date.

Can you track investments free in a Google Sheet?

Yes, a Google Sheet tracks investments for free with no bank or brokerage link, using the built-in GOOGLEFINANCE function for live prices and the AMFI daily file for Indian mutual-fund NAVs. For anyone uneasy about handing an app their login credentials, this is the private, zero-cost route, and only one mainstream US listicle we found even mentions it.

For US and global stocks, a cell like =GOOGLEFINANCE("NASDAQ:AAPL") returns the live price, and many Indian stocks work with the NSE prefix. For Indian mutual funds, you pull the latest NAV from AMFI's published daily file into the sheet. From there the sheet computes XIRR with the built-in function, so you get the annualized return that half the free apps hide. The tradeoff is real: you type in every purchase and sale yourself, and a sheet won't chase corporate actions the way Sharesight does. For a small, stable portfolio, that manual effort is minor and the privacy is total.

Is it safe to link your bank and brokerage to an app?

Auto-syncing apps connect through data aggregators like Plaid or Yodlee using read-only access, which is broadly safe, but linking does hand a third party a live window into your accounts, and that tradeoff deserves a real answer, which most guides skip. Most listicles push aggregation and never mention the cost of it.

The case for linking is obvious: no manual entry, always current. The case against is that you're trusting an aggregator's security and, with a tool like Empower, accepting periodic sales calls from its advisory arm as the price of "free." The manual alternatives, a Google Sheet or a tracker where you type holdings in, keep your credentials to yourself at the cost of effort. In India, the Account Aggregator framework is designed to make sharing consent-based and revocable, which is a genuine improvement over handing over passwords, though few trackers use it yet. There's no single right answer; there's a tradeoff, and knowing it is the point.

The one number most apps get wrong

The most important figure a tracker can show is the money-weighted or XIRR annualized return, because the absolute-return number a broker shows by default ignores how long your money was invested and flatters a long-held portfolio. A portfolio up 20% over 5 years earned about 3.7% a year. One up 20% over 10 years earned about 1.8%. Identical on the absolute number, very different investments.

If an app shows you a return and does not say which kind it is, the difference between the three is worked through in XIRR vs CAGR vs absolute return, and you can run your own cash flows through the XIRR calculator to check what a tracker is telling you.

Fees are the quieter drag. Take a ₹10 lakh corpus growing at 11% a year for 20 years. In a 0.20% index fund it reaches roughly ₹78 lakh; in a 1.50% active fund it reaches roughly ₹62 lakh. That 1.3-point difference in expense ratio quietly costs about ₹16 lakh over the period. Empower's fee analyzer flags exactly this in the US; most Indian apps make you look up each fund's expense ratio yourself. You can sanity-check any of this against our compound interest calculator. The underlying idea these apps measure, spreading risk across holdings, is covered in what is diversification.

How to pick, by job and market

The right app follows from two questions: which market your money is in, and what job you need done. A short map.

If you are...	A reasonable pick
An Indian investor wanting everything in one place	INDmoney or Value Research (free)
An Indian investor focused on mutual funds	ET Money or Kuvera (free)
An Indian investor needing ITR capital-gains reports	MProfit (paid) or a CAMS/KFintech statement
A US investor with all holdings at US brokers	Empower (free)
A dividend-income investor (US or global)	Snowball Analytics or Sharesight
Someone who wants no app to see their accounts	A Google Sheet (free)
Someone with property and alternatives too	Kubera (paid)

None of this is a recommendation about what to buy or sell. It's about which tool shows your holdings most clearly. The investment decisions themselves belong with a SEBI-registered investment adviser in India, or a fiduciary advisor in the US.

What this post deliberately does not cover

This guide ranks tools for tracking a portfolio, not advice on what to hold. It doesn't tell you which funds or stocks to buy, doesn't forecast markets, and doesn't cover crypto-only tax tools in depth. Spending and expense tracking sit in best expense tracker apps; budgeting is in best budgeting apps for beginners; the total net-worth picture is in best apps to track net worth; and the meaning of net worth itself is in what is net worth. App prices and features change often, so confirm the current plan on the provider's own site, and take any tax or investment decision to a qualified professional.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best free investment tracking app in India? For Indian investors who want everything in one place, INDmoney and Value Research My Investments are the strongest free all-asset trackers, covering mutual funds, stocks, NPS, EPF, PPF and more. For mutual funds specifically, ET Money and Kuvera are free and import your funds through a Consolidated Account Statement. Zerodha Console and Coin are free but only show what you hold at Zerodha. All are free because their revenue comes from broking or fund distribution. What you actually put your money into is a decision for a SEBI-registered adviser, well beyond what an app should drive.

How do I track all my mutual funds in one app? The route most apps use is a Consolidated Account Statement, or CAS. A CAS is a single statement, generated on your PAN, that lists every mutual fund transaction across every fund house, produced jointly by the two registrars CAMS and KFintech. You request a mailback CAS on the CAMS, KFintech or MF Central site using your PAN and registered email, receive a password-protected PDF, and upload it to a tracker like Value Research or MProfit. That imports your whole mutual fund portfolio at once and not adding funds by hand.

Which app replaced Mint after it shut down? Mint was shut down by Intuit on 23 March 2024, and users were pushed to Credit Karma, another Intuit product. But Credit Karma is a credit-monitoring tool and not a true net-worth or investment tracker, so it does not replace Mint's portfolio side. For investment and net-worth tracking in the US, Empower (the free dashboard formerly called Personal Capital) is the closest like-for-like replacement, with Monarch Money as a paid budgeting-plus-investments option.

Can I track investments for free in a Google Sheet? Yes. Google Sheets tracks investments for free with no bank or brokerage link. For US and global stocks the built-in GOOGLEFINANCE function pulls live prices, for example =GOOGLEFINANCE("NASDAQ:AAPL"). For Indian mutual funds you can pull the latest NAV from the AMFI daily file, and many Indian stocks work through GOOGLEFINANCE with the NSE prefix. A sheet keeps your data private and computes XIRR, but you enter every buy and sell yourself, which is the tradeoff against an auto-syncing app.

Is a portfolio tracker the same as an investment tracker? Yes, those two names describe the same category: a tool that shows what you own, what it cost, what it has returned and how it is allocated. A stock tracker is often something else. Much of what is sold under that name is a watchlist. It follows live prices for holdings you may not own, which answers a different question entirely. The practical test is whether the app asks for your cost basis. If it does, it is a portfolio tracker. If it only wants ticker symbols, it is a price tracker. Yahoo Finance and Google Finance sit on the price-tracker side, which is why they appear on roundups like this one and then fail to answer the question that brought you there.

Which app shows portfolio overlap and diversification? Two different features get called diversification tracking, and the rarer one is the useful one. Allocation shows your split across equity, debt, gold and cash, and most trackers do it: Value Research and INDmoney both show it in India, and Empower is the free US standard. Overlap shows that several of your funds hold the same underlying stocks, so you own less diversification than the fund count suggests. In India the mutual-fund tools carry overlap because fund disclosures make it computable, including ET Money, Kuvera and MF Central. In the US, Morningstar's X-Ray is the paid tool people cite for it. An app can show the overlap percentage; it cannot tell you what your allocation should be, which is an adviser's job.

In summary

The best investment tracking app is the one built for your market and your job. In India, INDmoney and Value Research cover everything free, ET Money and Kuvera handle funds, and a CAS on your PAN pulls the whole mutual-fund picture into one file. In the US, Empower leads for free but stops at the border, Sharesight and Morningstar earn their fees on tax and research depth, and the Mint that many pages still list has been gone since March 2024. For total privacy, a free Google Sheet does more than most people expect.

Whichever you choose, look for one number before anything else: the money-weighted or XIRR annualized return. The absolute-return figure your broker shows by default is the finance equivalent of a scale that ignores how tall you are. An app that shows XIRR is measuring the right thing; if you can't find that number in yours, you're steering on a gauge that's quietly lying to you.
