Tradevipe
A competent developer can reproduce a useful subset (journal, exports, simple analytics) in ~40 hours using existing open-source projects; the full commercial product value (polish, integrations, support) is harder to match.

Open-source builds that already do this
Every project below is open source and already does this job today. Fork one, self-host it, or take the parts you need - the build prompt further down assumes an empty file, and this is the shortcut past that. Licences differ; check the one on each card before you ship. All Tradevipe alternatives, with the arithmetic →
What a replacement has to do
- A single-user web app where a user records items, views history, and exports data.
What it still won’t have
- Vendor support and SLA
- Polished UX and design polish
- Proprietary integrations or datasets (if any)
- Hosted backups, monitoring, and incident response
What remains hard
- Product polish and ongoing maintenance

What we assumed
The verdict above measures whether you could build it. This one is only about money.
Runnable build prompt
Build a single-user trading-journal web app using Next.js (React) + PostgreSQL (supabase or managed Postgres). Core features: email/password auth, CRUD for trade/entry records with tags and metadata, list and detail views, CSV export, simple server-side aggregates (total P/L, counts by tag, date range), deploy to Vercel or Fly.io, daily DB backups, basic tests for API routes and a few end-to-end UI tests. Out of scope: multi-tenant billing, advanced strategy analytics, brokerage integrations. Include error handling, validation, and CI for tests.
How we checked
How the score was reached
- Partly verdict base52
- An open-source build was found+5
- 3 cited sources+3
- Evidence score60
The base comes from the verdict. Everything under it is a check that either happened or did not, and each one is a fact frozen in this record rather than a judgement made at render time - so the same evidence always produces the same number.
