Honest comparison · Prices checked 30 Oct 2026

Same price band.
RB adds the prop layer.

TradeMetria Pro is $29.95 a month and RB Pro is $29.99, so price will not decide this one. What does: RB syncs MT4, MT5 and cTrader live through a read-only add-on, tracks your prop drawdown room with breach alerts, and refunds Pro in full for 30 days. TradeMetria’s refunds cover only unresolved coding errors, per its pricing page.

What RB adds

Built for forex and prop traders

Live sync, not monthly imports
RBSync runs inside your own MT4, MT5 or cTrader terminal and logs each closed trade in about a minute. No password is asked for, and re-importing a file never doubles a trade.
Prop drawdown room on screen
The Prop Tracker shows how much daily and max drawdown is left on each challenge or funded account, with breach alerts as you get close to a limit.
Unlimited accounts, any plan
Free and Pro both take any number of accounts, so a personal account and three challenges cost the same as one.
Honest limits

Where TradeMetria wins, and where we fall short

TradeMetria is cheaper to start. Basic is $19.95 a month and Pro yearly is $249, against $299 for RB Pro yearly.

Its free plan refills. TradeMetria gives 30 order imports every month. Our free plan is 50 trades in total, after which you upgrade.

Analytics, backtesting and replay are Pro only on RB. The free plan is for judging the sync, the Prop Tracker and the calendar.

No live futures sync. RB has no live Rithmic, ProjectX or TopstepX connection; NinjaTrader and Tradovate come in by file import.

When to stay

When to stay with TradeMetria

Stay if Basic at $19.95 covers what you need, if you trade stocks or futures through a broker TradeMetria already brings in cleanly, or if you do not trade prop challenges. A journal you already use every day beats a better one you never open.

Switch if you trade forex or CFDs on MT4, MT5 or cTrader and want trades to arrive on their own, if you run several prop accounts, or if a 30-day refund matters to you.

Same price, more for prop traders

Judge it on your own trades first.
