How secure is the broker sync?

Broker connections use SnapTrade and Finatic, read-only brokerage data aggregators. TradeOlogy can read your trade history to build your analytics, but it can never place orders or move money - and you can disconnect any broker at any time.

Does TradeOlogy have all the same analytics as TradeZella?

TradeOlogy offers 40+ analytics covering P&L, win rate, drawdown, expectancy, equity curves, symbol performance, time analysis, and more. TradeZella adds AI agents, automated backtesting and a community. TradeOlogy has its own AI assistant, Oly, plus Replay Mode (bar-by-bar trade replay, from Pro Starter) and a Trade Simulator replay-trading trainer (Pro Advanced), with daily session tracking and strategy performance analysis.

How does TradeOlogy compare for multi-account traders?

TradeOlogy's Pro Advanced plan ($25/mo) covers up to 5 synced broker logins or CSV accounts, making it well-suited for traders managing multiple accounts. TradeZella's multi-account support starts on its Pro plan at $59/mo (up to 50 accounts).

Which brokerages does TradeOlogy support?

TradeOlogy lists 25+ brokerages. 20+ of them auto-sync on Pro, including Interactive Brokers, Robinhood, Schwab, Fidelity, Webull, Coinbase, Kraken, Questrade and Wealthsimple, and the rest import from a file. TradeZella lists more - 500+, counting file uploads - so check our brokerages page for yours.

Does TradeOlogy have a free plan?

Yes. Free has no time limit: manual entry and CSV import into one account, with unlimited trades. Broker sync, the reports and Replay are on Pro, from $15/mo, and new customers get a 7-day free trial on either Pro plan.

THE 60-SECOND VERSION

WHERE THE DIFFERENCE SHOWS

Less software, more edge

A lower monthly price

TradeZella starts at $35 a month, or $315 paid yearly.

TradeOlogy Pro Starter is $15 a month or $144 a year, and the journal itself is free with no time limit. Your data is always yours.

Less to set up

TradeZella is a bigger product, with playbooks, backtesting and AI agents to set up and learn.

On Pro, connect your broker and your history backfills on its own, and the reports read straight from it.

Pure performance focus

Community feeds, mentor mode, and bundled courses pad the bill with features many solo traders never touch.

Built for traders who execute, analyze, and iterate - raw, actionable edge with none of the social noise.

Why traders choose TradeOlogy over TradeZella

Custom widgets, built for you

Need a metric or view that doesn't exist yet? Ask support for a custom dashboard widget and we will build it around how you trade. On Pro, Oly can also build one from a sentence.

Your old CSVs, mapped for you

Files from supported brokers import as they are, and Oly maps formats it has not seen before, so you can bring your history over from a CSV.

A free plan to start

Journal by hand or by CSV for free, with no time limit, and move to Pro when sync and the reports earn it. TradeZella lists no free plan or trial.

Verified-account proof

Run a community? On Pro Advanced, share a public profile link that lists your connected brokers and shows a Verified badge, so your results come from the account rather than a screenshot.

The bottom line

Both tools are solid. The right one depends on what you actually need day-to-day.

Choose TradeOlogy if…

You want bar-by-bar Replay Mode without paying $59/mo for it

You want automatic broker sync and a free plan to start

You want the lower monthly price: $15 for Pro Starter against $35 for Essential

Choose TradeZella if…

You want AI agents and backtesting built in

A built-in trading community and structured courses are important to you

You want structured playbooks and a built-in mentor mode for accountability
