Firmtrack vs the spreadsheet

Every multi-account prop trader builds the same spreadsheet: accounts down the side, fees and payouts across the top, a drawdown column that's wrong by Tuesday. It's free and it's yours — this page takes it seriously as the real competitor it is.

The short version: Keep the spreadsheet if you run one or two accounts and enjoy maintaining it. Past that, the spreadsheet's real cost isn't time — it's the stale drawdown number you sized a trade against, and the $85/mo fee still billing on an account that died in March.

	Firmtrack	Your spreadsheet
Price	From $19/mo	Free (plus every Sunday evening you spend updating it)
Firm rules	Verified rule book, sourced and dated, updated when firms change things quietly	Whatever you remembered from the FAQ six months ago
Drawdown room	Computed per account, modeled the way each firm actually enforces it	A column that was correct when you last edited it
Dead-weight fees	Surfaced automatically — recurring charges on blown/idle accounts	Silently compounding in a row you stopped reading
Trade journal	Included — imports from 8 platforms, stats computed for you, voice notes	A second tab, abandoned in April
Payout proof	On-chain verification with tx hashes	A screenshot folder
Billing dates	One timeline + a live phone-calendar feed with alarms	The jump-scare when the card gets hit
Flexibility	Opinionated on purpose	Infinite — it will happily let you build anything, including errors

What Your spreadsheet does better

It's free, it's private, and it never has a login page.
Infinitely flexible — no tool matches a hand-built sheet for weird one-off analysis.
You built it, so you trust it — which is exactly the trap when a formula quietly breaks.
For one or two accounts, it is genuinely enough. We mean that.

What Firmtrack does that Your spreadsheet doesn't

Numbers that update because data flows in, not because you remembered to type them.
Rules verified against the firms' own pages — including the changes firms make mid-year that no spreadsheet hears about.
The drawdown math each firm actually uses (end-of-day updates that still enforce live, trails that lock at start +$100) — the part spreadsheets get subtly, expensively wrong.
A journal, calendar, alerts, and share cards in the same place as the money.
An import path that eats the spreadsheet's own CSV export, so switching costs one drag-and-drop.
