6 Best Stonk Journal Alternatives in 2026 (When You Outgrow Manual Entry)

Stonk Journal is the best free trading journal available, and this article will not pretend otherwise. Unlimited trades, no ads, no data selling, every asset class, and a clean interface that works offline. If you are new and placing a handful of trades a week, stay there.

Traders usually start looking for an alternative when one of these happens:

• Manual entry stops scaling. Twenty fills a day means twenty forms a day. CSV import is a $10 a month Pro feature, and even then the app is not built around broker files the way import-first journals are.
• You want your fills paired for you. Scaling in and out, multi-leg options, and partial exits are where a manual journal gets fuzzy and an importer earns its keep.
• You want more than the dashboard. Stonk Journal's stats are solid basics. R-multiple distributions, expectancy by setup, and performance by day of week are where the paid journals pull ahead.
• You want to journal the day, not just the trade. A pre-market plan, an end-of-day review, and a grade for how you traded need a different structure than a trade list.
• Broker sync is still on the roadmap. If you have been waiting for it, the journals below already have import.

Here are six alternatives ranked for a trader who is ready to save a lot of time. Prices were checked in September 2026.

Quick comparison

What a year actually costs

Retail traders do not have a firm paying for software. Every dollar of subscription comes out of the same account you are trying to grow, so the honest comparison is total annual cost for a plan with unlimited trades and import.

EdgeDojo is free during open beta, no card required, and accounts created during the beta keep free access after paid plans launch. It is the only option on this list that costs nothing and still imports from any broker, covers every asset class, and includes a daily diary. The journals that cost more do not journal better. They bundle more.

1. EdgeDojo

Best for: Stonk Journal users who want import that just works, deeper analytics, and a daily diary, in an interface as clean as the one they are leaving, without paying for any of it.

EdgeDojo is built on a simple idea: a trading journal should be excellent at four things. Import your trades, journal them, track the trader behind them, and tell you what to do next. EdgeDojo does those four things with a modern, intuitive interface and deliberately skips everything else. It is free during open beta, no card required, and beta accounts keep free access when paid plans arrive.

Why traders switch

• API connections and integrations with 90+ brokers and exchanges. Connect Interactive Brokers, tastytrade, Alpaca, Coinbase, Kraken, Bybit, OKX, and more with a read-only API key, or Hyperliquid with a wallet address, and EdgeDojo syncs your trades every day at the time you choose.
• Universal smart import. Drop in a trade export from any broker or exchange. EdgeDojo recognizes the file, pairs fills into trades, calculates P&L, and groups multi-leg options into named structures. No mapping wizard, no broker whitelist to check, no waiting for an integration to be added.
• The best journal for perpetual futures traders. EdgeDojo has a native Hyperliquid integration. Enter your wallet address and your perps fills sync straight into the journal, with the same analytics as everything else you trade. Most journals on this list treat perps as an afterthought or not at all. EdgeDojo treats them as a first-class asset class, in a journal you can have running in five minutes.
• Every asset class in one journal. Stocks, ETFs, options, futures, perpetual futures, crypto, and forex share one account and one equity curve. A trader who scalps ES in the morning and trades perps at night finally sees the whole picture in one place.
• Trader psychology, tied to results. A daily diary records your pre-plan, mood, market conditions, catalysts, expectations, takeaways, and an A to F score for how you traded, separate from what you made. The score is plotted against P&L, so you can see which version of you makes money. Strategies carry eligibility checklists, so every trade shows whether you followed your own rules and what it cost when you did not.
• A journal you will actually open. Fast and uncluttered. Screenshots, setup and mistake tags, stop loss and profit target on every trade, and a visual gallery for re-studying your best setups until they are muscle memory.
• Analytics that point to the next action. P&L calendar heatmap, equity curve, R-multiple distribution, win rate, profit factor, and performance by strategy, symbol, day of week, and asset class. Every chart filters by strategy, symbol, asset class, or date range.
• No feature bloat, no tiers. No AI credits, no trade caps, no gated reports. Your data is yours to export at any time.
• Free, and it stays free for beta members. EdgeDojo is in open beta: full access, no card, no trade caps. Accounts created during the beta keep complimentary access after paid plans launch. Retail traders live and die by costs, and every other journal on this list wants $120 to $500 a year for what EdgeDojo gives you today at no cost.

What it leaves out

By design, there is no backtesting, trade replay, or social feed. API sync covers Interactive Brokers, tastytrade, Alpaca, Hyperliquid, and most major crypto exchanges; other brokers, including Schwab and Fidelity, import by file. There is no native mobile app yet.

Verdict: if typing trades in is what is pushing you off Stonk Journal, EdgeDojo fixes that for free during open beta with an import that reads any broker file, adds R-multiple and expectancy analytics Stonk Journal does not have, and keeps the calm, uncluttered feel you liked.

2. TradesViz

Best for: stock traders who want import for free and are happy to grow into a very deep tool.

TradesViz's free tier includes import for stocks with 3,000 executions a month and one account, which makes it the only other free option on this list with broker import. Pro is $19.99 a month or $14.99 a month billed annually and adds futures, options, forex, crypto, and CFDs, 600+ statistics, and AI tools. Platinum at $29.99 adds exit analysis and simulators.

Watch out for: 600 statistics is a spreadsheet, not a decision. The dashboard takes real setup time to be useful, and new users often spend their first week configuring instead of reviewing. The free tier is stocks only, and the exit analysis reviewers praise needs Platinum at $29.99 a month. If you want a calm surface to review your day on, this is the opposite of that.

3. Tradervue

Best for: stock and options traders who want a proven journal and can live with the free cap.

Tradervue's free plan allows 30 trades a month and imports from 80+ platforms, so it is a real step up in import even before you pay. Silver is $29.95 a month or $323.46 a year for unlimited trades; Gold at $49.95 adds exit analysis and risk reports. Entries and exits plot on TradingView charts.

Watch out for: you are paying 2026 prices for a 2015 interface. No crypto, no perps, no mobile app, no strategies section, and a free plan most active traders exhaust in a week. Billing and cancellation complaints dominate its public reviews. Tradervue is reliable, but reliability is the floor, not the reason to pay $323 a year.

4. TraderSync

Best for: traders who want live sync and a mobile app.

TraderSync auto-imports from 700+ brokers and has a native mobile app, trade replay, a simulator, and the Cypher AI assistant. Plans are $29.95, $49.95, and $79.95 a month, with first-year annual pricing of $179.64, $269.64, and $383.76. Every tier has a 7-day trial with no card required.

Watch out for: three tiers mean the feature you want is usually one tier up. AI messages are capped per day, replay depth is gated, and the first-year annual price jumps at renewal. The interface is busy, and much of the feature list exists to match TradeZella rather than to make you a better trader. You will pay about double EdgeDojo's price for a journal that does the core job about as well.

5. TradeZella

Best for: traders who want the most features in one place and have the budget.

TradeZella syncs 500+ brokers and prop firms, replays trades tick by tick, backtests, tracks strategy rules, monitors prop-firm limits, and runs AI agents. Plans are $35, $59, and $99 a month or $315, $531, and $891 a year. Replay requires Pro at $59.

Watch out for: you are paying for a backtester, AI agents, a course library, and a community whether or not you use them, and the feature everyone actually wants, trade replay, is locked behind the $59 tier. There is no free plan and no free trial, so the first time you see the product is after you have paid for it. TradeZella is the most expensive journal on this list by a wide margin, and for most retail traders the extra cost buys shelf space.

6. Edgewonk

Best for: traders, especially in forex, who want a psychology-first journal at a flat price.

Edgewonk's Tiltmeter, Psychology Lab, and Edge Finder are the deepest behavioral tools in the category. One plan, currently $197 billed every 16 months, with a 14-day money-back guarantee. MetaTrader 4 and 5 sync automatically; 30+ other platforms import by file.

Watch out for: you commit to 16 months up front for software you have never used, with a 14-day window to change your mind. There is no monthly plan, no mobile app, no replay, and no perps support. Edgewonk's insight is only as good as your data entry, and its per-trade forms are exactly what tilted traders stop filling in. It rewards discipline you may not have yet.
