TradeZella review

Researched and written by TheGodFunded3 min read

TradeZella is one of the most popular trading journals among prop firm traders. It imports your trades, shows stats on what you do well and badly, and adds backtesting, trade replay and artificial intelligence. It also has a free dashboard to track how much you spend on evaluations and how much you receive in payouts.

We read its entire help center (269 articles), its pricing page and 275 of its 1,055 Trustpilot reviews.

How it works

  1. Connect your account or upload a file with your trades.
  2. TradeZella turns them into an automatic journal: each trade with its chart, result and notes.
  3. You tag them (setup, mistake, emotion) and group them into playbooks, your strategies.
  4. Reports tell you which days, hours, symbols or setups make you win or lose.
  5. Zella AI answers questions about your data and drafts your daily plan.

Compatible platforms

Its official list includes over 50 brokers and platforms. The ones that matter most to a prop firm trader:

  • Automatic sync: MetaTrader 4 and 5, cTrader, DXtrade, TradeLocker, Tradovate, NinjaTrader, Rithmic, TopstepX.
  • File upload only: Match-Trader, ProjectX, Quantower, Sierra Chart, ATAS, and FTMO history.

If your platform is not listed, its help center explains how to convert the file to TradeZella's format using an AI like Claude or ChatGPT.

PropFirm Sync: the most useful part for prop firm traders

It is a free feature included in every plan that brings all your prop firm accounts into one dashboard:

  • What you spend and what you earn: every evaluation, reset and activation against every payout, to see your real profit.
  • Active accounts: drawdown and progress toward the target for each one.
  • Why you fail: the most common reasons you lose an account.
  • Automatic payment detection by linking your bank, for now with 10 firms, mostly futures: Topstep, Apex Trader Funding, Tradeify, Take Profit Trader, Bulenox, Top One Futures, My Funded Futures, FundedNext, Alpha Futures and Lucid Trading. For the rest, you log it manually.

Pricing

Plan Monthly Paying yearly Accounts Includes
Essential $35 $315 ($26.25 a month) 1 Automatic journal, 500 AI credits, manual backtesting of 10 strategies

There is no free plan. Note: the Essential plan only supports one account. If you run several prop firm accounts at once, you need Pro. And under its terms of service, it does not give refunds: all payments are final. If you will not use it, cancel before it renews. Anyone who subscribed before 14 July 2026 keeps their old price as long as they do not cancel.

What users say

TradeZella scores 4.8 out of 5 on Trustpilot, from 1,055 reviews. But eight in ten five-star reviews come from accounts with one or two reviews, and several critical users doubt the score is genuine. Our review analysis above breaks it down.

  • What people like: a clear interface, easy-to-read stats and support that many reviews mention by name.
  • Price is the number one complaint in critical reviews.
  • Technical bugs: syncs that break, filters that reset and odd limit order fills in backtesting.
  • The AI can get it wrong: one user says auto-tagging ruined the stats of 200 trades.

Verdict

TradeZella is one of the most complete and convenient journals, and its PropFirm Sync is exactly what someone buying lots of evaluations needs: knowing whether they actually make money from prop firms. Its downside is the price, with no free plan, and the cheap plan supporting only one account.

Who it is for: traders with several prop firm accounts who want clear stats and to track their spending.

Who it is not for: beginners with a single account and a small budget, or anyone trading on a platform not on its list.

Alternatives

  • TradesViz: lots of charts and stats for less money.
  • TraderSync: another cloud journal with analytics.
  • Edgewonk: focused on psychology and mistakes.

4.8 Trustpilot score
3.8 Based on what they say
Features 4.3

Automatic journal, reports, manual and automated backtesting, trade replay, AI and a prop firm dashboard that adds up evaluation spending and payouts received. Some integrations are missing, such as WealthCharts.

See review
★★★★★“good for prop firm brokers and manual backtesting, but serious reliability and accuracy issues connecting with IBKR.”
Reliability 3.6

It works for most, but bugs keep coming up: syncs that break, filters that reset and odd limit order fills in backtesting. One user says AI auto-tagging ruined the stats of 200 trades.

See review
★★★★★“Zella AI contaminated about 200 of my trades and made my statistics unreliable.”
Value for money 3.4

Price is the number one complaint among critical reviews: $35 to $99 a month, no free plan. Under its terms it gives no refunds, and some regret paying for a full year.

See review
★★★★★“Given the price and marketing, I expected far higher quality. I regret purchasing.”
Ease of use 4.4

The most praised part: a clean, easy interface and stats that make sense. Some veteran users miss basic features for the price.

See 2 reviews
★★★★★“Just by uploading my 50 trades for September 2026 and cat[egorizing them]”
★★★★★“It has some great features like Playbook and planning your day, well beyond just journaling.”
Support 3.8

Many positive reviews name the agent who helped them, even with refunds outside policy. Negative ones mention hour-long chat waits and reported issues left unanswered.

See review
★★★★★“since the time of those reviews I have reported numerous issues [...] but they get absolutely no attention.”
Transparency 3.2

It publishes its prices and a detailed list of compatible platforms. But eight in ten five-star reviews come from accounts with one or two reviews, and several users doubt the score is genuine.
