Comparison
Scani vs Ghostfolio
Both track your whole net worth. They differ on how the data gets in.
Ghostfolio is a well-loved open-source (AGPLv3) wealth manager for stocks, ETFs, and crypto. You add positions through manual transaction entry or by importing files — there is no automatic linking to your bank, brokerage, or exchange.
Scani is built around live account sync: it connects directly to broker and bank APIs, centralized exchanges over read-only keys, and public on-chain addresses, then reconciles everything into one real-time portfolio. It ships as a managed SaaS, a metered Cloud API, and a self-host tier.
