Essential is $35, one account, and no trade replay. Pro and Ultra add accounts and replay. Tiedbook keeps every futures account on $29 and spends the product on the statement.
TradeZella is the better buy for backtesting and the broker list they advertise. Tiedbook is the better buy for a futures book with one price.

Where TradeZella is stronger
The broker list
500+ brokers and prop firms is their description. Tiedbook will not pretend to import that list.
Replay on Pro and Ultra
If you want the replay they sell, Essential is the wrong row and Tiedbook is the wrong product.
Several asset classes
Stocks, futures, crypto, and CFDs are on the backtesting line. This journal stops at futures files.
Where Tiedbook is stronger
Dashboard after fees
The sample book shows net after the preset, not a gross that flatters the day.
Fee line you can audit
The schedule is dated. The statement still wins when you import it.
Reconcile
Journal net, statement net, and the difference in cents.
Notes on the trade
The journal is the trades, not an AI write-up of a loss.
How we checked
Essential, Pro, and Ultra prices, account caps, and the replay split were read from TradeZella’s pricing page in Oct 2026. This page did not retest the 500+ connections. It does not state a TradeZella trial length, because that length was not stored.
Prices as listed on each vendor's public pricing page, checked Oct 2026.
What you bring with you
A futures CSV. Not a TradeZella login, and not their backtests.
- Export from Tradovate, NinjaTrader, Rithmic, TopstepX, Sierra Chart, or Interactive Brokers.
- Map a Beta file only if the header is unknown, and read it before you confirm.
- Tie the day once the statement is in.
