Eight journals, one matrix. Free plan, lowest price, accounts and trial, side by side.

This page sets eight trading-journal products side by side. It does not rank them, and it does not say which to buy: a journal that suits a futures day trader and one that suits a forex trader with several MetaTrader accounts are different products, and the page leaves that call to the reader.

Prices as of November 2026. Check the vendor's site before you buy. “Lowest paid plan” is the cheapest plan with a monthly price, not the cheapest way to pay. Yearly prices have their own page: trading journal pricing compared.

What the matrix cannot tell you
- How well anything works. A pricing page says what a plan includes, not how reliably it imports a broker's history or how the reports read. A free tier or a trial is the way to test that.
- Which platforms are covered. Several vendors say “auto-sync” without naming a platform. If you trade on MT4, MT5 or cTrader, find the vendor's supported list and check your own broker on it before paying.
- What changes next month. Some vendors run promotions with unclear end dates, so a price here is not a promise about the next.
For the questions worth asking of any journal, see the trading journal features checklist. Free tiers are compared on their own in free trading journals compared, and how each vendor says trades get in is set out in the Edgewonk alternatives page.
Where Trepeat is
Trepeat is not in the table. We have no free journal yet, so we left ourselves out of a comparison with products that exist today.
We're working on a free journal and a backtester, with no date yet. Today Trepeat is a trade copier for MT4, MT5 and cTrader, currently on demo accounts, and you can add notes, a grade and screenshots to any copied trade once it closes, with a calendar of your results.
Its journal of copied trades holds your own notes, grade and screenshots on each closed trade, with a calendar view and an Excel (.xlsx) export.
