TradesViz information is taken from the vendor's own website (pricing page) and was checked on October 12, 2026. Prices are in USD without VAT and may change – please check the vendor's site for current terms. “Not listed” means the feature is not mentioned on the vendor's pricing page, not that it is unavailable.
To be fair about the trade-offs:
TradingDiary Pro imports directly from your broker – for example the Interactive Brokers Flex import or one of the other 30+ import modules – so you can rebuild your history from the original broker statements instead of exporting it from another journal. Try it on your own data with the free 30-day trial before you cancel anything.
Over three years TradingDiary Pro costs $149 if you keep your version, or $247 with every upgrade. TradesViz's entry paid plan costs $809.64 (Pro, billed annually) over the same period, based on the prices listed on October 12, 2026.
TradingDiary Pro stores your trades in a local database file on your own PC and works offline. TradesViz is a cloud service: your trading history is stored on the vendor's servers.
