Short answer
Australian households usually hold four things at once: super, an ASX portfolio, a property with a mortgage, and often a family trust. WealthScout comes first because it holds all four and forecasts them together with local treatment. Sharesight is the pick if the shares and their end of year tax reports are the whole question.
Australia makes this harder than most places. Super is locked until a preservation age, negative gearing changes what a property really costs, capital gains has its own discount rules, and a family trust changes who pays tax on what.
A tool that treats super as just another account, or a trust as just another label, will give you a number that looks right and is not.
The options, ranked by fit
- 1
WealthScout
$99 a year USDchecked August 20, 2026The pick for: Australian households holding super, shares, a property and often a trust, who want one forecast across all of it.
Records shares, property, cash, debt, retirement accounts, income and spending against the owner of each asset, then projects their value over time, calculating tax on returns while assets are held and again when money is paid out to a person.
Strong at
- Share and crypto prices update automatically, so your net worth reflects current market values without a bank connection.
- An owner on every asset, including trusts, companies and retirement structures.
- Projections use the figures you already track, so you do not retype them.
- Thirteen countries with local tax treatment.
- Reports and projections use the same dated figures, so they cannot disagree.
Where it stops
- No bank or broker connections. Broker files are imported and checked before they post.
- No tax returns and no jurisdiction tax reports.
- Opens to the public country by country.
- 2

Strong at
- The broadest set of plan tests of anything here.
- Strong scenario comparison and charting.
- Detailed personal tax modelling inside the plan.
Where it stops

Questions people ask
- Which tool handles Australian super properly?
- WealthScout models retirement structures including self-managed ones, keeps the underlying assets in their own modules, and applies the preservation age in the forecast. Most trackers hold super as a single balance.
- Which does Australian tax reports?
- Sharesight, through its Australian tax pack. WealthScout gives factual realised gains and investment income summaries and does not produce tax reports or lodgement mapping.
- Which handles an investment property with negative gearing?
- WealthScout keeps the value, mortgage, rent, running costs and depreciation in their own fields and shows the result before and after tax. Sharesight holds property only as a hand-updated custom item.
