COMPARISON

TradeBeryl vs. TradeLog & GainsKeeper

TradeLog and GainsKeeper are established, specialized trader-tax tools — this is an honest look at what each one does well, so you can pick based on what you actually need.

The honest tradeoff

If you have a genuinely complex tax situation — multiple accounts across different brokers that need reconciling, a Section 475(f) mark-to-market election, or options positions with unusual assignment patterns — TradeLog's two decades of handling those exact edge cases is real, earned expertise. We wouldn't tell you otherwise.

Where TradeBeryl fits better: you're already keeping a trading journal (or should be), and you don't want to pay for and reconcile a second, separate tax tool on top of it. Wash sale detection, short/long-term classification, and TurboTax export are built into the same $19/mo subscription that also gives you analytics and behavior tracking — no second bill, no exporting from one tool into another.
