TradesViz vs TradeZella
Last updated October 2026. Competitor figures are taken from that company’s own public pages and are dated in the methodology note.
TradesViz is analytics-platform-first: deeper AI analytics, broader options tooling, stronger simulators and far more ways to interrogate your own trading data. Here is the full feature table.
If you want a guided, journal-first workflow, compare both tools.
If you want the most comprehensive trading analytics stack, AI Coach, AI Query, AI Chat, AI Summary, AI Notes, AI Widgets, 600+ stats, custom dashboards, replay, simulators, options tools, real-time screener, prop-firm tracking and broad broker/import support, TradesViz is the stronger platform.
Yes, much better if you need useful metrics instead of vanity or made-up scores. Every TradesViz stat and chart is backed by a clear definition, a real calculation and an active developer-plus-trader team doing ongoing research on journaling, analytics and trader improvement.
TradeZella has only a fraction of TradesViz features, so it can look easier to a beginner at first glance. That stops being useful when you need more than surface-level journaling. TradesViz has engineered simple modes for new traders and high flexibility for experienced/professional traders, so the product can stay simple while still supporting serious analytical improvement.
TradesViz. Real polish comes from how useful the data is and how often traders can actually use the charts, stats and workflows. With more than 100 million trades imported since 2019, TradesViz has refined analytics, custom dashboards, AI widgets and deep review flows around real trader usage. TradeZella stops much closer to basic Excel-level exporting and guided reporting.
No. As of October 2026, TradeZella’s pricing page lists no free plan and no public free trial. TradesViz has a generous free plan for stock traders with plenty of features, plus a free 7-day trial for all paid tiers.
TradesViz is built for specialized trading workflows, not just a chatbot pasted onto a journal. AI Coach ranks deterministic findings first; the supporting suite handles precise data questions, open-ended review, summaries, notes, session preparation and persistent custom analysis on top of exact trading stats. TradesViz introduced these trading-journal features in 2023 and has served tens of thousands of questions and thousands of chat conversations since.
Yes. On July 14, 2026 TradeZella raised Essential from $29 to $35 a month ($288 to $315 a year) and Pro from $49 to $59 a month ($399 to $531 a year), and added a new Ultra tier at $99 a month or $891 a year. Existing subscribers keep the old rate only while they never change plan, never switch between monthly and annual billing and never resubscribe after cancelling. TradesViz has not raised its price since launching in 2020: Pro is $19.99/mo ($14.99/mo billed yearly) and Platinum is $29.99/mo ($22.49/mo billed yearly), with a free plan for stock traders and a free 7-day trial on paid tiers.
Yes. In September 2026 TradeZella’s pricing page listed 10 trade replays a month and a single trial automated backtest on its $35 Essential plan. By October 2026 both are marked Not included, so trade replay starts at $59 a month on Pro and automated backtests are metered at 10 runs a month on Pro and 100 on Ultra. TradesViz has gone the other way: in 2026 it added multi-chart trade replay, a replay journal, full-day symbol replay, Backtester v2 with luck and robustness checks, public strategy tests and an options strategy execution panel without raising its price.
Yes, on every tier. TradesViz Platinum is $269.91 a year against $891 a year for TradeZella Ultra, and TradesViz Pro is $179.88 a year with ten trading accounts against $315 a year for TradeZella Essential with one. TradesViz also has a free plan for stock traders, which TradeZella does not offer, and a free 7-day trial of the paid tiers.
TradesViz, hands down. It is not just depth, it is usefulness. A surface-level journal may say you lost during the 9:30 session and won during the 10:30 session, but that can be misleading without more context: what was the expectancy, was the win caused by one trade, was the loss from many smaller trades, what if you held longer, what if you reduced size? TradesViz answers those questions. Stopping at surface-level metrics can become misinformation.
Yes. Export your TradeZella trades to CSV and import that file into TradesViz for a more accurate journaling and analytics experience. TradesViz does not connect directly to TradeZella as a data source.
Use Python, scripts or your own applications to read and search your TradesViz accounts, trades and executions, build custom reports, and manage notes and tags. With the required permissions, you can import supported executions, edit journal entries, update trade risk settings, split or merge trades, and delete selected journal data. Execution imports currently support eligible USD US stocks and fixed-multiplier USD futures, not every asset supported by the website.
Yes. Connect a compatible ChatGPT, Claude or other MCP client to the hosted TradesViz MCP server using browser sign-in; no local MCP server or REST API key is needed. Ask your assistant to summarize recent trades, compare results from retrieved trades, find trades by symbol or tag, or save a review note. Editing and other journal changes require the matching permissions. Connector availability depends on your AI client and workspace settings.
You select the trading accounts and permissions each API key or MCP connection can use. Start with read access and grant editing or deletion separately when needed. Day notes, day tags and general journal notes require a separate opt-in. You can revoke access from the API/MCP dashboard. These tools manage your journal; they cannot place, change or cancel broker orders. AI responses can contain mistakes, so review proposed changes before approving them.

Review and analyze: Read accounts, trades and executions; search by symbol, date or tag; and build custom reports. Ask your assistant to summarize last week's trades, compare results across symbols or review trades with a specific tag using your actual journal data.
Manage your journal: Import supported executions, edit trade and execution details, update journal TP/SL and risk values, or split and merge trades. Create and edit notes, manage tags, and delete selected journal data with the appropriate permissions.
You choose the accounts and permissions to share. These connections work with your journal and cannot place, change or cancel broker orders.

Mistake: confusing a guided interface with better trading analysis. Some comparison articles reduce the TradeZella vs TradesViz decision to which product feels easier or looks more polished. That is the wrong question for serious traders.
A clean workflow can help with onboarding, but it does not automatically help a trader find leaks, test exits, understand risk, analyze options, compare setups, review MFE/MAE, simulate alternatives or quantify behavioral mistakes.
TradesViz is built around usefulness after the trade is imported: AI Coach, AI Query, AI Chat, AI Summary, AI Notes, AI Daily Brief, AI Widgets, 600+ deterministic statistics, custom dashboards, pivot/grid analysis, replay, simulators, options analytics, real-time screening, options flow, trade plans, tags and prop-firm rule tracking. A journal should not just look organized. It should expose what is costing you money.
Missing capabilities
The concern is not whether TradeZella can log trades. It can. The concern is what happens when a trader needs to interrogate the data beyond a guided journal workflow.
If you cannot ask a custom question and get a computed chart/table back from your own trades, you are stuck with the reports the product already decided to build. That is a problem when the leak is specific to your setup, time window, account or behavior.
A fixed report flow is fine for onboarding, but serious review needs custom dashboards, custom widgets and pivot/grid analysis. Without that, traders end up exporting data or accepting shallow summaries instead of building the exact review surface their process needs.
Options traders need strategy detection, greeks, payoff, historical chain simulation, options flow and execution review together. If those are split or missing, spread performance becomes harder to trust and harder to improve.
TradesViz connects the journal to real-time screening, options flow, seasonality, fundamentals and SEC13F research. Without those tools, the journal describes past trades but does less to help generate and validate the next ideas.
Prop-firm traders need live drawdown, daily loss, consistency, trailing limits and challenge progress tied to the actual account. If compliance is handled outside the journal or only as a light note/tag workflow, traders can miss rule pressure until it is too late.
A trader who cannot test strategy rules inside the same analytics platform has to rely on memory, screenshots or a separate tool. That makes it harder to separate an actual edge from a good-looking journal entry.
TradeZella pricing and plan changes in 2026
On July 14, 2026 TradeZella moved from two plans to three and raised the price of both existing tiers. These are its own published numbers.
Nothing shipped on the day of the increase. TradeZella’s own announcement justifies the new prices by pointing backwards at work already delivered and already paid for. Existing subscribers keep their old rate only while the subscription is never touched: upgrading, downgrading, switching between monthly and annual, or resubscribing after a cancellation re-prices the account at the new rates. Moving to annual billing to save money costs a subscriber the old price.
There is still no free plan and no published free trial, so the cheapest way to find out whether your broker imports cleanly is $35, or $315 committed up front. What the Essential tier buys at that price is one connected trading account, 10 strategies, 500 AI credits, no AI agents, no automated backtesting and no trade replay. Unlimited accounts is the $891/yr tier.
Then features came out of the plans. In September 2026 TradeZella’s pricing page listed 10 trade replays a month and a single trial automated backtest on Essential. By October 2026 it marks both as Not included, so trade replay now starts at $59 a month on Pro, and automated backtests stay metered at 10 runs a month on Pro and 100 on Ultra. Subscribers are paying more in 2026 and the entry plan does less.
TradesViz has never raised its price. Pro has been $19.99/mo ($14.99/mo billed yearly) and Platinum $29.99/mo ($22.49/mo billed yearly) since launch in 2020, alongside a genuinely free plan for stock traders and a free 7-day trial on every paid tier. In those same six years the platform added options flow and an options flow screener, seasonality, pivot grids, custom dashboards and AI widgets, AI Coach, AI Query, AI Chat and AI Notes, multi-asset simulators, an options chain simulator, a rule-based backtester, a real-time screener, fundamentals and SEC13F research, prop-firm rule tracking and trade-plan adherence analysis. Every one of those arrived at the price subscribers were already paying.
While others remove features, TradesViz keeps adding them. In 2026 alone, at the same price: an asset-class-aware simulator order panel (March), Persist Replay Trades (April), full-day symbol replay from Day Explore (July), a replay journal for tags, notes and screenshots during a replay and a rebuilt options simulator with live IV and greeks (August), multi-chart trade replay, the options strategy execution panel and Backtester v2 (September), and the robustness check plus public strategy tests (October). Trade replay has no monthly cap and backtests are not metered.
Compared at the top tier, today: $891/yr against $269.91/yr. Compared at the entry paid tier: $315/yr for one trading account against $179.88/yr for ten. See the TradesViz pricing page, then check the release log. Both are public and both are dated.
Advanced metrics depth
TradesViz documents the analytics stack: every single-number stat, every table column, and every chart family. Serious traders need definitions they can audit, not black-box scores or fixed reports.
The comparison only matters if the product can turn your trading history into decisions, trade ideas, plans and fixes. These are real TradesViz screens behind the rows above:
Bring your history with you. It takes a few minutes and nothing is overwritten on the other side.
After the switch, the same trade history does more work: AI Coach ranks your highest-impact findings, AI Query answers custom questions, AI Chat and AI Notes document the review, AI Widgets keep it on your dashboards, and the screener/options-flow stack helps you find ideas before they become trades. This is the move from a guided journal to a professional analytics platform, with stronger support and a lower operating cost.
Sources and method
This comparison uses publicly available product and pricing pages. Feature rows were checked June 2026; TradeZella prices, plan names, AI-credit limits and backtesting limits were re-checked in September 2026 after the July 14, 2026 price increase, and plan contents again on October 20, 2026, when trade replay and the trial automated backtest were no longer listed on Essential. TradesViz feature claims link to live TradesViz feature pages and documentation. TradeZella prices, plan names, AI-credit and backtesting figures are quoted from TradeZella pricing and its help center; its broker figure is the “500+” number stated on its own site. TraderSync pricing/replay/backtesting details include the supplied pricing screenshot; Tradervue details come from its public pages. “—” marks features not documented on a platform’s public pages at review time. On terminology: TradeZella applies the “backtesting” label both to a manual, step-through historical simulator and to its newer plain-English automated backtester, which is metered at 10 runs a month on Pro and 100 on Ultra. TradesViz keeps the two separate in the table above — a manual step-through simulator for discretionary practice, and a distinct automated rule-based backtester that runs indicator-driven entries and exits across 30,000+ tickers with no manual stepping and no monthly run limit. See the all-simulators guide for those definitions. Also compare the live TradesViz pages for AI tools, broker imports and pricing.

PK and the whole team at TradesViz.com have put together an outstanding product with exceptional features. PK provides the most excellent support in the chat help. And if something really isn't working quite right or as expected, they get busy to make it better. I originally signed up for TradesViz to have the simulator function which also gave me the statistical analysis I could use to improve my trading. I had been using a simulator which had almost no analysis. When TradesViz added the simulator function I gave it a try. At first I had a hard time making it work, but with patient explanation from PK and with some tweaking on functionality from the coders on the backend, they have delivered a super trading simulator. The trade analysis part of TradesViz is second to none. I've gained the insight into my trading weaknesses and strengths to be able to trade much better in my live account. This is the service you need!
I definitely recommend Tradesviz especially for new traders the way it tracks your stats is no short of amazing especially for me personally by best exit and and of the stats that tell you how long you usually are in drawdown and you are usually in profit. If you want to build confidence in your strategy and edge this journal is the way to go for sure!
TradesViz has made a huge difference in my trading and has positively impacted my trading for the better in psychology and profit.
I use it DAILY and have noticed the vast improvements being made, not only in profit but also in my mental approach to trading.
This is a must-have tool and is more important than any indicator you could ever use.
I've subscribed, at different times, to various reporting programs, and trialed several others.
Yours is night and day over them all. I particularly appreciate the degree of available customization and your quick, ever-patient response to support requests.
I have a small trading account. Thank you for offering such a sophisticated program at an affordable price.
TradesViz is a true leader in Trade Journaling Software. They offer extensive statistical data at an amazing price that almost seems too good to be true. You have access to an amazing support team that seems to be active at all hours of the day. My support agent helped me through a complex import issue and had it solved within 24 hours. I can't tell you how blown away I am with their software and their service. I'm more than happy with my experience and so excited to see what new features they bring to the table as they continue to grow their business. If you're on the fence, I encourage you to jump right over and take it for a spin with their risk-free trial. Thanks to all the TradesViz team members who continue to make my Trade Journaling efficient and effective.

GREAT PRODUCT AND EVEN BETTER CUSTOMER SUPPORT!
I have been using TradesViz for a few months and it is a fantastic tool. Prior to subscribing, I was spending hours on xls trying different tables and layouts and only getting frustrated (or overcomplicating things!). Now I have everything in one place (I have multiple trading accounts), and I have probably only explored 10% of the tools and data analytics!
BUT, what has really impressed me is the support: I have NEVER in the last 10 years had such instant, professional support from a company at (almost) anytime of the day or night!
Clearly this is a team that is passionate about their product and that will always translates into innovation and better experience & value to the customer.
Well done to the team!!
After only a short time of using TradesViz, I can confirm that this platform is exactly what I have been looking for. It takes the chore out of journaling – the number of stats, data, and information available on my trades is a complete game-changer. The importing process via MT4 file is extremely easy and the automated charts with entries are amazing. The whole process is extremely easy and helps to keep me accountable for my trading by having a professional system to manage my business. The platform is very comprehensive and takes a bit of time to get used to, but they have many videos on their YouTube to help with this as well as their support team.
Their support is exemplary and gets back to all my queries in well under 30 minutes with comprehensive answers and solutions to my questions.
This platform is absolutely essential for any trader and I would highly recommend it to any of my trader friends looking for a journal. If you don’t have this platform, you are seriously missing a trick here…
Thanks, PK from TradesViz for being extremely helpful and patient in resolving my syncing issue. Certainly one of the best online support I have ever experienced. Even though it took a while for me to get my settings right, I never felt rushed...I appreciate that. Hope to stay with you guys for a long time. Certainly would like to learn how to utilize most of the features on TradeViz.
In my opinion, the TradesViz platform is truly the Ferrari of journaling software available today. Once you are under the hood, you begin to realize that in fact what sets it so far apart is all the advanced analysis at your fingertips. Such as the ability to combine multiple portfolios, live charting, and much more. Their support is world-class, in my case personally, I needed integration with Trend Spider’s backtesting engine. What I imagined might take weeks was literally accomplished overnight. Factor in rock bottom prices and you have all you need for whatever you're searching for. Newer traders will find that one of the most basic recipes for success is meticulous record keeping, simply observing your account profit and loss go up, or just down as the case may be, is the first step on the road to ruin if your serious about trading.

I'm writing this testimonial as appreciation for this surprisingly pleasant
conversation.
Upon my initial support request, TradesViz's support was impressively swift. A response appeared every single time as soon as I closed my email tab. Not only did I receive incredibly helpful information about features I wasn't aware of, but the team was also genuinely enthusiastic about discussing my feature requests and ideas about the industry. Truly awesome people!
In terms of raw analytics, comparison, and filtering capabilities, there is no match for TradesViz. I also don't know of any other trading journals that offer so much for the price, their free version has pretty much everything you would need if you trade stocks and offer so many of the paid features that are on other websites for free. They have templates for almost every broker and if it's not there, their support team is only 1 email or message away and will work with you to include your broker on their platform. By far the best support I have gotten from any trading journal as they are open to feedback and feature requests and are very active on their chat for any questions. A trading journal built by traders, for traders.

I wish I had TradesViz when I started to trade ten years ago. I had to learn the hard way. It provides everything you need to maximize your wins and minimize your losses.
There’s a learning curve but once you get past that your trading will surely be taken to the next level.

As a full-time trader, the first pivot point in my trading results came after I started to learn from Mark Minervini - this is when I stopped losing $$$. The second pivot point came after I started to analyze my results - this is when I started to be consistently profitable $$$.
I love that TradesViz works for Options, Stocks, Crypto! It has automated and manual uploads. It has all the important metrics and analysis that you will need and it is fully customizable.
I have tried pretty much most of the products out there, and TradesViz wins by a mile - highly recommend it! Thanks to PK and the team!
Thanks, @MightySoldiers for turning me on to @tradesviz. I'm loving the customized dashboard. The level of detail and ability to really dig deep on metrics is unparalleled. This tool has helped me so much in defining my trading strategy and where my edge is.

I was looking for a solution to journal my trades on multiple platforms to keep track of my PNL. I stumbled upon TradesViz and I have nothing but positive to say about their service. Not only does their product make it so easy to see how you are doing on your trades with the various graphs and filtering options, getting your account synced is super intuitive. Best of all their customer service is top-notch. Every time I have asked a question, they have responded within a few hours with a solution, and sometimes that involved programming custom solutions for me to make my life easier. It's a no-brainer for me to pay for the yearly service. Do it, you won't regret it.
