Detailed breakdown
Account Coverage
Your net worth is only accurate if every account is included — banks, brokerages, crypto exchanges, and wallets.
Clarity
Clarity is a full financial dashboard that connects banks, brokerages, crypto exchanges, and on-chain wallets. You see your checking account, retirement portfolio, Coinbase holdings, and DeFi positions alongside budgeting, spending analysis, and AI-powered categorization.
Snowball Analytics
Snowball is a pure portfolio tracker. It connects to brokerages worldwide and tracks stocks, ETFs, bonds, and some crypto through exchange connections. There are no bank accounts, no budgeting, no spending tracking, and no DeFi or on-chain wallet support. It does one thing — portfolio analytics — and does it deeply.
Bottom line
Snowball is a better fit for dedicated investors who want deep portfolio analytics. Clarity is for users who want their investments tracked alongside the rest of their financial life.
Historical Depth
Shallow history limits tax reporting, trend analysis, and cost basis calculations.
Clarity
Clarity imports up to 24 months of transaction history from connected institutions and tracks portfolio performance from the point of connection. For most users this provides sufficient context for financial analysis.
Snowball Analytics
Snowball allows backdating portfolio entries and tracks performance from whatever start date you choose. Long-term investors can see years of dividend income, total return, and benchmark comparisons. The dividend calendar and income forecasting are particularly strong for income-focused portfolios.
Bottom line
Snowball is a better fit for investors who want deep, long-term portfolio performance history and dividend tracking. Clarity offers broader coverage but less portfolio-specific historical analysis.
