Frequently Asked Questions

? Is Ghostfolio hard to install?

Ghostfolio is relatively easy to install using Docker Compose—follow the official docs for minimal configuration. Non-technical users may face a small learning curve, but pre-built images and community guides simplify setup.

? Is it a good alternative to Mint?

Yes—Ghostfolio is ideal for privacy-focused users. Unlike Mint (US-only, ad-supported), it lets you control data, supports global assets (including crypto), and has no ads/subscriptions, though direct bank sync is limited in some regions.

? Is it completely free?

The self-hosted version is 100% free and open-source with no hidden fees. A hosted Ghostfolio Cloud option exists for a subscription, but core features remain free for self-hosting.
