TradeZella is a polished journal with backtesting. Tradestar is a journal too, plus the prop-firm tracking, futures hit rates and coaching that keep a funded account alive.
If you only need a journal and a replay tool, TradeZella is good at that. If you trade a funded account, Tradestar adds the drawdown tracking, eval simulator and edge data it does not have.
