We make Sweep, so it’s listed first; each section says where another journal is the better fit. Prices in USD, monthly billing unless noted, before tax, from each journal’s public website and help pages (for TraderSync, its plan prices as listed publicly), checked on October 9, 2026. Plans change often: confirm on the journal’s site before you buy, and tell us at hello@makeitsweep.com if something is out of date. All names are trademarks of their owners.

1. Sweep: best for futures prop firm accounts

Sweep is built around prop firm accounts. Pick your firm and account type and the rules are already there: drawdown, consistency and payout conditions, checked against each firm’s official pages every week. Evaluations, funded and live accounts stay apart in your P&L, and a daily routine (plan, rules, review) keeps the focus on process.

  • Price · Free forever; Pro $19/mo or $159/yr; Elite $39/mo or $329/yr; 60 days of Pro for every new account.
  • Watch out · No automatic broker sync yet (in development), no trade replay or backtesting, futures only. Expense and payout tracking is on Pro and Elite.
