Tradervue alternatives in 2026: free and paid
Most people looking for a Tradervue alternative have hit the free plan's limit, or they want something newer for $29.95 a month. Here are the options, free first, and what the catch is on each.
The short version
If you day trade futures and hit the free plan's limit, try Actal while it's free in beta. I built it, so keep that in mind. If you trade stocks and want free, TradesViz. If you want the most features and don't mind paying, TradeZella or TraderSync. If you only take a few trades a week, Tradervue's free plan is honestly fine.
- You take a few trades a week and the free plan is enough
- You like its reports and have years of trades in it
- You want a mentor to see your trades
- You day trade and the 30 trades a month runs out
- You want every trade graded on whether you followed your plan
- You want each mistake priced and one thing to fix a week
- You trade futures, prop firm evals or forex on MetaTrader
Why people leave Tradervue
- The free plan is 30 trades a month, according to Tradervue's help pages. A day trader uses that up in one or two weeks.
- Silver is $29.95 a month and Gold is $49.95, which is the same money as newer journals with more in them.
- It reports what happened. It won't tell you whether you followed your plan or which habit to fix first.

1. Actal
Mine, so read it with that in mind. It's first because it's the only one here with no trade limit and nothing locked while it's free. Every trade gets checked against your rules and graded A to F on how well you followed your plan, each mistake keeps a running dollar cost, and you get one thing to work on each week.
It imports from thirteen platforms, including NinjaTrader, Tradovate, Rithmic, TopstepX, MetaTrader, thinkorswim and Interactive Brokers, or any CSV. What it doesn't have yet: live broker sync, replay, backtesting or a mobile app.
2. TradesViz
The best free plan for stock traders: 3,000 executions a month with a P&L calendar and charts. It's stocks only with one account on free, so futures, options and forex need Pro at €17.99 a month, or €13.49 paid yearly.
3. TraderSync
The closest thing to Tradervue, but newer: broker sync, market replay, an AI assistant and a mobile app, starting at the same $29.95 a month. No free plan, a 7-day trial. More in TraderSync alternatives and pricing.
4. TradeZella
The most complete one, with backtesting and replay built in. It's also the most expensive: $35, $59 or $99 a month, and the cheapest plan connects one account. Full breakdown in the TradeZella review.
5. Edgewonk
One price, $197 a year, with everything included, and strong on psychology with its Tiltmeter and edge finder. No free plan, but a 14-day money-back guarantee. More in the Edgewonk review.
6. Trademetria and TradeTally
Trademetria's free plan gives you 30 orders a month and one account, and it counts orders, so scaling out uses them up faster. Basic is $19.95 a month. TradeTally is free and open source, and you can run it yourself if owning your data matters to you.
How to switch without losing your history
- Export your trades from your trading platform, not from Tradervue. The platform's file has every fill.
- Import the same month into your top two choices and check the trade count and P&L match your platform.
- Keep Tradervue's free plan open for a few weeks so you can look back at old notes.
