## Investbrain

**Self-hostable web tracker for listed securities with a documented API and bring-your-own-LLM AI chat.**

**Best for:** Technically confident self-hosters who want a private, ad-free ledger of stocks and ETFs, want to point the AI at their own API key or a local model, and are comfortable with cost-basis-style returns.

Strengths:
- A properly documented public REST API with bearer tokens and a published OpenAPI spec — rare at any price
- Swappable market-data providers behind one env var, so you are not tied to a single price vendor
- Bring-your-own-LLM AI, portfolio-level and per-holding, including a fully local option
- Serious multi-currency plumbing — per-transaction currency, ECB rates and even GBX/pence alias handling
- Genuinely free with no account linking and full self-host data ownership

Trade-offs:
- Returns are cost-basis only — (market value − average cost) — with no TWR/MWR/XIRR and no benchmark series
- Not multi-asset: every holding must resolve to a live ticker, so no real estate, cash, bonds or crypto (crypto is "not planned")
- No health score, rebalancing, goal projection or custom tags — the portfolio object has three fields
- Non-commercial CC-BY-NC 4.0 licence, not OSI open source, despite the project's "open-sourced" wording
- Single maintainer, README-only documentation, and no native mobile app

## PortfolioGlance

**Manual multi-asset portfolio tracker with AI insights — no account linking, no card, free to start.**

**Best for:** Investors who want a multi-asset overview with AI commentary and are happy to add holdings manually or by CSV import rather than link a bank or brokerage account.

Strengths:
- Genuinely free core, with AI tokens included to start
- No bank/broker account to connect — nothing to link, no login credentials shared
- Multi-currency and multi-asset (incl. real estate, deposits and private assets)
- AI analysis, health score, rebalancing and goal projection built in

Trade-offs:
- No automatic bank/broker sync — you add holdings manually or import a CSV
- Younger product than some incumbents; smaller community
