If you are searching for a getquin alternative, you have probably already noticed something: the portfolio data does not always match your broker, the sync drops, the features you used last month are now behind a paywall, or you are not comfortable with your credentials being handled by companies you have never heard of.
These are not bugs. They are consequences of how getquin is built — cloud-based, aggregator-dependent, funded by advertising and subscriptions, with no way to export your own data.
Tukhe was built on the opposite premise. Direct connections to your broker's API. Everything stored locally on your machine. No account, no email, no ads, no intermediary. Your credentials go to your broker and nowhere else.
This article is published by Tukhe, so our perspective is not neutral. But every claim is sourced from publicly available information — getquin's own website, privacy policy, advertising terms, app store listings, and user discussions on Trustpilot, Product Hunt, and Reddit.
Where your data goes
Getquin is cloud-based. Your portfolio data is stored on getquin's servers. To connect to your brokers and banks, getquin uses three separate third-party aggregation services: finAPI (Munich, BaFin-regulated), SnapTrade (USA, Canada, UK, Netherlands, India, Australia), and Flanks.io (Barcelona). Each covers different regions. Your credentials are processed by whichever intermediary handles your broker — and if you use brokers in different regions, you may be sharing credentials with multiple aggregators. All documented on getquin's own privacy policy page.
Tukhe connects directly to supported brokers (IBKR, Saxo, Kraken for now, with more being built) through in-house connectors. No aggregator of any kind. Your credentials go straight to your broker. All data stays on your machine.
Security: what happens between you and your broker
Getquin uses the standard language — "bank-level encryption," "no one can access your data — not even us." But the real question is how many systems sit between you and your broker. For any single connection through getquin, at least three are involved: your broker, one aggregator, and getquin's cloud. Use brokers across regions and that number grows.
The trust concern is not theoretical. Users on Reddit and Product Hunt report receiving suspicious login alerts from their brokers after enabling getquin's connections. Several describe doing one automated sync and then disconnecting — entering data manually going forward because they are not comfortable with how credentials are handled. When users of a portfolio tracker choose to enter data by hand rather than use its automated connections, that says something about the architecture.
Tukhe does not sit between you and your broker. Direct connection through in-house connectors. No user database, no cloud storage, no account required. Built in Rust, no embedded browser, read-only connections. Your credentials go to your broker and nowhere else.

Sync reliability and data accuracy
Getquin connects to thousands of institutions through its aggregators. But across Reddit, app store reviews, and Trustpilot, users consistently report the same issues: IBKR connections that do not update new transactions, portfolio valuations described as "super inaccurate" compared to actual broker data, ETF prices off by 25-50%, wrong dividend data, and broken positions after stock splits. These are the predictable consequences of multiple aggregators normalizing data from different brokers with different formats and refresh cycles.
Tukhe avoids this architecturally. A direct API connection goes straight to the broker's own data — no normalization layer, no third-party sync job. More brokers are being added, each with a dedicated native connector built in-house. For accounts at brokers not yet supported, manual positions with live market data keep the view complete.
Your data goes in, but it does not come out
Based on multiple independent reviews and user reports, getquin does not appear to offer any way to export portfolio data or transaction history. No CSV export, no JSON download, no backup file. If this is confirmed, it means that switching to another tool requires starting from scratch — and if getquin changes its terms or shuts down, your history goes with it.
Getquin does advertise "CSV upload" on some pages, but this appears limited to the Cashflow and budgeting module, not to the portfolio tracker for securities transactions. The distinction matters and is worth verifying directly.
If accurate, this is vendor lock-in. It may not matter when you sign up. It matters the day you want to leave.
Tukhe stores everything locally on your machine. There is no remote database to extract from, because there is no remote database. A structured data export feature is on the roadmap to make switching and backup even easier — but your data is already in files on your computer.
Portfolio organization
Getquin offers allocation breakdowns by geography, sector, and asset class. The dividend tracking is strong — calendars, yield calculations, forecasting. But portfolio analytics are limited to predefined reports with no custom filtering, grouping, or categories. If your investment logic does not match getquin's built-in classifications, the tool does not adapt.
Tukhe lets you create unlimited custom allocations. A single position can belong to multiple allocations simultaneously — defensive, cyclical, income, high-conviction, dollar exposure, commodities. You define the categories. The tool adapts to your strategy, not the other way around.
Business model and independence
Getquin has raised $16.2M in VC funding. It operates on a freemium model at approximately €49.99/year for premium — but there is more to the picture. The free tier shows advertisements. Getquin maintains a dedicated advertising terms page on its website, meaning ad revenue is a structured part of the business. And users on Trustpilot have documented a progressive paywall — features that were free when they signed up (realized gains, per-position P&L) were later moved behind the paid tier. The free version is a moving target.
The community features — portfolio sharing, discussions, anonymized portfolio viewing — provide learning value. But the platform is designed around engagement, which serves an ad-based model. When a product is free and shows you ads, you are part of what is being sold.
Tukhe is bootstrapped. No VC funding, no advertising, no progressive paywall. The free version gives you full access to all features. The paid tier lets you save your settings and allocations between sessions. No incentive to show ads, gate features over time, or optimize for engagement.

Who should use which
Getquin works for investors who want community features, dividend forecasting, and broad broker coverage, and who are comfortable with aggregator-based connections, cloud storage, ads in the free tier, and no data export.
Tukhe works for investors who want direct broker connections with no intermediary, local storage with no cloud, full data ownership, custom allocations that match their strategy, and a product with no ads, no paywall shifts, and no account required.
If you care about where your data goes, who handles your credentials, and whether you can take your portfolio with you — the difference matters.
