Comparisons

Side-by-side looks at portfolio trackers, spreadsheets, and broker tools, with the tradeoffs named plainly rather than sold.

Every tool here does something well and something badly, and the useful part of a comparison is the second half. These posts set options next to each other on the things that decide it in practice: what you have to type in, what it costs, what happens to your data, and what breaks once you hold more than a handful of positions.

StoxDeck is one of the options, and we say so plainly when it comes up. We also say where it loses — it does not connect to brokerages, and it covers US-listed stocks and ETFs only. A comparison that never names its own weaknesses is an advert, and it is not worth your time or ours.
