Trader Node vs PropFirmSync

One tracks your accounts. The other tracks your business.

PropFirm Sync monitors how your prop accounts are performing. Trader Node tracks whether your trading business is actually making money. Here's the honest difference.

Trader Node

A standalone record-keeping tool for prop traders. Tracks real money, every expense, tax-ready.

vs

PropFirm Sync

An account monitor bundled with a trading journal. Tracks rules, progress, and failure patterns.

They look similar. They're not.

On the surface, both tools track what you spend on challenges and what you earn in payouts. That overlap is real. But underneath, they're built to answer two completely different questions. PropFirm Sync asks: are you passing your evaluations, staying inside the rules, and picking the right firm? It's a performance monitor, built to help you get funded and stay funded.

But passing challenges isn't the same as running a profitable business.

Trader Node asks: after every challenge fee, every reset, every subscription charge, every tool you pay for, and every payout across every firm and currency, is your trading business actually in profit? And can you prove it to an accountant? That's not a feature difference. It's a different category of tool. PropFirm Sync monitors your accounts. Trader Node helps you keep your books.

What sets us apart

What Trader Node tracks that PropFirm Sync doesn't

The gaps that matter once you treat trading as a real business.

Subscription challenge billing

Apex-style fees recur monthly until you pass. An "$85 evaluation" can quietly hit $400+. We track billing from start to end so you see the true cost.

Every business expense, not just fees

TradingView, VPS, data feeds, education, hardware. Your real costs go beyond evaluations. Trader Node tracks all of it so your P&L reflects the actual business.

Tax-ready exports

Categorised income and expenses, by period, formatted for your accountant. One export at tax time instead of a lost weekend rebuilding from bank statements.

Private accounts & multi-currency

Track your own capital alongside prop accounts, and see P&L grouped by currency with no forced conversion. PropFirm Sync does neither.
