Free, and not the kind that expires
No trial countdown, no card at signup, no monthly trade cap. The free plan is a plan, not a demo.
Most "free" trading journals are a fourteen-day window or a cap of thirty trades a month — enough to look around, not enough to actually keep a journal. That is a trial wearing a free plan’s clothes.
TradeAssay's free plan has no expiry date and asks for no card. If you never upgrade, nothing is taken away and nothing is deleted.

Three ways in, the slowest takes ten seconds
Sync automatically from MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 or Interactive Brokers; import a CSV, HTML or XML export from 40+ other platforms; or hand a screenshot to an AI agent that reads the trade and logs it.
- Read-only broker connections — your password is never stored
- Import previews every trade before a single one is saved
- Unlimited trading accounts: live, prop challenge, backtest
Nothing is deleted if you stop paying
If you upgrade and later cancel, the Pro features lock. Your trades, notes and screenshots stay exactly where they are, and you can export everything to CSV or PDF at any time, over any date range.
What the free plan does not include
The backtester, Trade Charts replay, the AI coach and chart analysis, the voice journal, prop-firm rule tracking and full-range export are Pro features at $9.99 a month. Saying so here is cheaper than letting you find out after signing up.
Everything else — manual entry, file import, the trade list, the calendar, the daily journal, core reports and breakdowns, and unlimited trading accounts — is free, with no cap on how many trades you log.
Before you switch.
Is the free plan really free?
Yes. No expiry, no card at signup, and no cap on how many trades you log. It is funded by the people who upgrade to Pro, not by a countdown.
How many trades can I log for free?
As many as you like. There is no monthly cap.
What happens if I upgrade and then cancel?
The Pro features lock and everything else keeps working. Nothing is deleted, and you can export all of it to CSV or PDF whenever you want.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. Signup asks for an email and nothing else.
