TraderSync is a strong general-purpose trading journal that covers stocks, options, forex and futures. FundedNotes is futures-first and prop-firm-first: trailing drawdown distance and a multi-account dashboard for traders running several prop accounts at once — with live read-only Tradovate sync on demand, or CSV import.
TraderSync has been around for years and supports a wide range of brokers across stocks, options, forex, and futures. If you trade multi-asset across many brokers, the breadth is a real advantage and the analytics are mature.
FundedNotes is futures-first. Drawdown is computed using the prop-firm trailing rule, and the dashboard is structured around running multiple prop accounts in parallel — which is the actual reality for most futures traders. The Tradovate integration is live read-only OAuth that pulls your fills on demand, and CSV import works for any platform.
There is no single best journal. TraderSync is broader; FundedNotes goes deeper into prop firm futures workflows. If most of your trading is on Tradovate-routed prop accounts, FundedNotes will feel more native; if you’re multi-asset across many brokers, TraderSync may fit better.
FundedNotes has a Free tier so you can sign up, import your trades via CSV, and see whether the workflow fits before committing. No payment details required for the free plan.

Comparison reflects FundedNotes’s prop-firm-focused feature set; TraderSync details are based on their public information and may change.
If you primarily trade futures — and especially Tradovate-linked prop firm accounts like Apex, Tradeify, and MyFundedFutures — FundedNotes is built for that workflow. If you trade across stocks, options, and forex on multiple platforms, TraderSync’s broader coverage may suit you better.
Both support CSV import for prop accounts. FundedNotes also offers live read-only Tradovate sync — a direct OAuth that pulls your fills on demand when you click "Sync & Read Trades".
FundedNotes computes the trailing drawdown distance using Peak Equity − Trailing Spread (the rule prop firms actually evaluate against). It’s the same number you see in your firm portal, not the broker-level locked threshold that diverges intraday.
FundedNotes tracks every account independently and rolls them up into one portfolio view — use live read-only Tradovate sync on demand per account, or import a CSV. Useful if you’re running, say, three Apex PA accounts and two Tradeify Lightning accounts in parallel.
FundedNotes has a Free tier and a Lifetime Elite option. See the [pricing page](/pricing) for current rates and feature matrix.
