Pick the tool by the job.
Koyfin is a research terminal. TradesViz is a trade journal. MAC Terminal is a trading workflow. They overlap less than the pricing pages suggest; here is what each one does.
- ✓ Best for: research-heavy investors who live in fundamentals and macro data
- ✓ Not built for: trade sizing or journaling a day’s trades
- ✓ Best for: reviewing what you already traded, across many brokers and asset classes
- ✓ Not built for: reading market conditions or planning tomorrow’s trades
- ✓ Best for: active stock traders who want a repeatable daily process
- ✓ A morning note before the open, and position sizing for any ticker from your own levels and risk settings

Where MAC is different
MAC runs in a fixed order: the market read describes index structure and breadth; the themes show where price is running against SPY and which names lead; Guardrails sizes the trade from the stop you set; the Journal closes the loop.
Where MAC is not the fit
If your process is fundamental research — ten years of financials, macro dashboards, global equities — Koyfin is the better tool. If you only want deep post-trade analytics with automatic broker sync across futures, options, and forex, TradesViz goes deeper on that one job. And MAC never executes trades: it’s prep, process, and review, not a broker.
Common questions
Is MAC Terminal a Koyfin alternative?
For an active trading workflow — reading the market and themes, sizing risk, journaling — yes, at a lower price. For deep fundamental research it isn’t; that’s Koyfin’s home turf.
Does MAC replace a trade journal like TradesViz?
MAC includes a journal with supported CSV or pasted-fill import, P&L and session statistics, rule-based behavior flags, and risk guardrails. TradesViz goes deeper on multi-asset analytics and automatic broker syncing if journaling is the only job you’re hiring for.
Why pay for MAC when journals start free?
You’re not buying a journal — you’re buying the whole loop: the market read and breadth, hot themes and the names in each, charts with your own levels, position sizing, and the Journal, connected in one flow. Bought separately, that’s three subscriptions and five open tabs.
