A table where one column wins everything convinces only the person who made it. We lose three rows here, and they sit in the table rather than in the footer.

Row by row
Five products people open in adjacent tabs when picking a journal. Compared on properties you can verify by opening their pages.
| What is compared | AQREVIA journal, prop tracker and copier in the browser | TradeZellaA cloud journaltheir site | TraderSyncA cloud journaltheir site | EdgewonkA cloud journaltheir site | TradervueA cloud journaltheir site |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Where your trades liveWho holds your history and how you take it with you. Ours: a separate database per account and a full export at any moment; a local version is on the roadmap. | On our server, a separate database per account | On their servers | On their servers | On their servers | On their servers |
| Works with no internetThe independence test. Today we are a web service like everyone in this table; the local version is how we intend to pass it. | Not yet; a local version is planned | A web application | |||
| Access from another deviceThe one thing people go to the cloud for on merit rather than habit. We are in the cloud now, so it works as it does everywhere else. | Any browser, after sign-in | ||||
| What happens if you stop payingThe most expensive row here, and usually absent from every such table. A journal is kept for years — the question is not the monthly price but how it ends. | Moves to Free; the journal and export stay | Export before it lapses | Export before it lapses | Export before it lapses | Export before it lapses |
| How many platforms connectWe lose this row, and it is the honest price of independence: a cloud service keeps integrations on its own side and grows them faster. | 29, six of them directly | More; exact count unverified | More; exact count unverified | 200+ by their own site | More; exact count unverified |
| Prop firm rules in an engineNot "prop account support" but a trailing drawdown computed against your trades — the thing accounts are actually closed over. | 130+ programs, phases apart, checked weekly | There is a prop section; no rule catalogue seen | Not verified | Not verified | Not verified |
| A copier between your own accountsA separate product everywhere else — and a separate subscription. Here it is part of the journal, not a second subscription. | As a map, simulation first, live on MT5 and TradeLocker | ||||
| A metric opens to its formulaThe only way to argue with a number without access to someone's code. Without it a metric is an opinion with a digit attached. | The formula and the trades under it | A number, not its derivation | A number, not its derivation | A number, not its derivation | A number, not its derivation |
| The model computes no numbersNot "is there AI" but whether it can invent a figure. A confident sentence with a fabricated number is worse than no AI at all. | The engine computes, one model explains, a second checks | No such separation is claimed | No such separation is claimed | No such separation is claimed | No such separation is claimed |
| Your own model or your own keyIf the model is not yours, your trades go wherever the vendor decided and cost whatever the vendor sets. | Your own Anthropic, OpenAI, Google or other key | ||||
| A phone appThere is no native app. The web version opens in a phone browser, but it is built for a large screen. | Phone browser, no app | Phone access per their own site | Not verified | ||
| Starting price per monthPrices were checked on one day and they change. The date sits beside them for that reason: a comparison page outlives a price list. | Free $0, paid from 39 | $35 | Not verified: the page blocks robots | No price stated on the home page | Not verified |
What people most often use instead of a journal. The rows here differ: asking TradingView about prop firm rules is meaningless — that is not what it is for.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trades record themselvesNobody quits a journal from laziness — they quit in a losing week. Anything that needs typing in the evening does not survive it. | 29 platforms, three ways | By hand | By file, if you map it yourself | ||
| Metrics computed by an engine under testA spreadsheet formula breaks quietly: it slips a row, and a month is computed wrong while looking right. | A drift breaks the build | Your formulas, your repairs | |||
| Bar-by-bar replayWe lose to both here: that is their trade, while our replay runs over trades rather than bars. | |||||
| The test meets the real recordThe curve on history lives in one tool and your trading in another. Nobody measures the distance between them. | 'What if' on your own trades | There is no journal inside | There is no journal inside | ||
| The data stays yoursThe row where a spreadsheet beats any cloud — ours included, at launch. We give each account its own database and an export at any moment; a file on your own disk comes with the local version. | Own database per account, export at any moment | On their servers | Your file | ||
| What it costsFor the do-it-yourself options the price is not money: it is upkeep time and quiet formula errors. | Free $0, paid plans at launch | Cheap in money, expensive in hands | Free in money, expensive in hands | A subscription; not verified | A subscription; not verified |
Pair by pair
Where we are worse
29 platforms against hundreds at the big services. They add integrations faster than we do. Check your platform in the directory: it's open before you pay.
There is no native app. The web version opens in a phone browser but is built for a large screen: reviewing trades on a phone is awkward.
TradingView and FX Replay do this; it's their whole job. We have no bar replay: we review the trades you have already made rather than scroll through candles.
a column that wins everything is not a product, it is a table
How we checked
Every claim about another product comes from its own site, on one day. The date is on the page: prices and features change, while a comparison page lives for years and quietly turns into slander.
TraderSync's pricing page blocks automated requests. Its cell says "not verified" rather than a plausible number. Inventing a competitor's price is cheap exactly once.
First the list of what actually decides the choice of a journal, then the answers. The reverse order is how rows get picked to fit a conclusion already written — and how a table where one column wins everything is made.
Praise from a stranger asks you to trust the stranger; a star rating hides the method behind a number. What is compared are properties you can open and see for yourself.
Questions
You should not, if trusting is the method. That is why every row says why it exists, every claim about another product carries a date and a link, and three rows are lost outright. Check the links rather than our word.
Because we could not open the source on the check date: some block automated requests, others do not state a price publicly. A plausible number instead would be a lie indistinguishable from the truth.
The check date sits on the page, so you can see how fresh the entry is. A stale table should look stale rather than pretend to be current.
Write to us — we will correct it and set a new check date. An error in your favour costs us one email; an error in ours costs the whole page.
Pick the thing that actually decides it for you and read that row across all five. A column that wins everything usually means the rows were chosen to make it win.
