TradeZella alternatives: TradesViz, Tradervue and Psyke compared

Price, imports, prop tools and rule tracking, from each company's own pages, with outside reviews marked.

Last checked October 3, 2026. Psyke wrote this page, and we make Psyke, so check our work. None of these companies reviewed it.

The short version

  • TradeZella shows no free plan or trial on its pricing page. Since July 14, 2026 it sells Essential at $35, Pro at $59 and Ultra at $99 a month.
  • TradesViz Pro is the cheapest paid plan here at $19.99 a month on the web. The free TradesViz plan imports stocks only.
  • Tradervue costs $29.95 or $49.95 a month, and its broker table shows no automated import for Tradovate or Rithmic.
  • For auto-sync, trade replay or backtesting, choose TradeZella or TradesViz. Replay needs TradeZella Pro ($59) or TradesViz Platinum ($29.99). Psyke has none of the three.
  • Psyke is for prop futures traders who keep breaking their own rules. It never asks for your broker login.
  • Psyke Free is $0 with no card and shows your last 7 days; older sessions stay saved. Core names the rule you break most once five marked trades include three breaks of it, at $29 a month after a free first month with a card on file.

Questions

What is the best TradeZella alternative?

It depends what you're leaving. For a lower price with futures auto-sync, TradesViz Pro is $19.99 a month against $35 for TradeZella Essential. For a plain journal a mentor can read, Tradervue starts at $29.95. If you keep breaking your own rules, Psyke Core names the rule you break most, at $29 a month after a free first month, and Psyke Free lets you log first.

Is there a free TradeZella alternative for futures?

Psyke Free is $0 with no card: log every session, import your CSV, and see your last 7 days. The free TradesViz plan imports stocks only. Tradervue's help center describes a free plan of 30 trades a month, and does not say whether it covers futures.

Does TradeZella have a free plan or free trial?

Not on its pricing page. On October 3, 2026 it showed three paid plans, Essential at $35, Pro at $59 and Ultra at $99 a month, and no trial.

Is TradesViz free for futures?

No. The free Basic plan imports stock trades only. Futures need Pro at $19.99 a month, Platinum at $29.99, or the 7-day trial, which needs a card.

How much does Tradervue cost?

Silver is $29.95 and Gold is $49.95 a month, each with a 7-day trial. The pricing page shows no yearly option. The help center describes a free plan capped at 30 imported trades a month.

Does a trading journal need my broker login?

Not to start. TradeZella, TradesViz and Tradervue all take file uploads. Auto-sync is different: TradeZella and TradesViz ask for your Rithmic username and password, for example (TradesViz says it never stores them), and Tradervue's Broker Sync connects to your broker by API. Psyke never asks.

Which trading journal tracks prop firm rules?

TradeZella's PropFirm Sync, on every plan, tracks daily loss, drawdown and Best Day consistency. TradesViz does the same on Pro and Platinum, with four drawdown types. Psyke flags days past your daily loss limit and trades above your set size, from the P&L and contracts you log. It does not track trailing drawdown.

Can a trading journal stop me breaking my rules?

No app moves your hand. A journal can show which rule you break, when, and what it costs. Psyke does that from your own marks. TradesViz checks rules you set against your imported or synced trades, and TradeZella's Progress Tracker unchecks its max-loss rules when you go past them.

Do TradeZella, TradesViz and Tradervue give refunds?

TradeZella's Terms say all payments are final. TradesViz says it does not refund subscriptions. Tradervue's signup page says all sales are final, though its blog banner advertises a money-back guarantee. Psyke's Terms don't promise a refund either: cancelling stops the next charge, a charge you think is a mistake can be raised by email, and any refund right the law gives you still applies.

Does Psyke sync with Tradovate, NinjaTrader or Rithmic?

No. Export a CSV or Excel file from your platform and drop it in, or log by hand. There are export guides for Tradovate, NinjaTrader 8 and Rithmic. A fill-only export, such as Rithmic's, comes in as points, not dollars.

Does Psyke use AI?

No. There is no AI coach. Psyke's own code does the math, and your entries are never sent to outside AI services.
