What Kyra is
A privacy-first trading journal for iOS. Trades stored on-device, optionally synced through user-private iCloud. No account creation, no Kyra-operated servers, no cross-app tracking SDK. Pattern detection runs locally and waits for sample size before claiming — every pattern surfaces with n and an uncertainty range. $4.99/mo or $39.99/yr after a 7-day trial.
What SuperTrader is
SuperTrader (Trade Like A Pro SRL, v5.2.4), tagline "Trade better tomorrow than you did today. The AI journal that finds your time-of-day biases, streak tilts, and broken rules." The hero is broker integration — 1,000+ brokers claimed, MT4/MT5 auto-sync via FTP, server-side trade ingestion. AI Copilot (powered by Anthropic Claude) provides behavioral coaching. Account required (email + password). Pricing inferred at ~$75/yr from review references; free tier 50 trades/month.
How they compare
| Dimension | Kyra | SuperTrader |
|---|---|---|
| Storage | On-device + iCloud user-private sync | Cloud servers |
| Account required | No | Yes (email + password) |
| Broker integrations | None | 1,000+ claimed (MT4/MT5 auto-sync) |
| Pattern detection approach | Sample-size-gated statistical inference, on-device | Server-side; AI Copilot via Anthropic Claude |
| Sample-size shown per claim | Yes | No |
| Trade content on servers | None | Yes (trades, journal entries, AI conversations) |
| Cross-app tracking SDK | None | Not independently verified |
| Pricing | $4.99/mo or $39.99/yr | ~$75/yr (inferred); free tier 50 trades/mo |
Who should pick which
Pick SuperTrader if:
- You trade through MT4 or MT5 and want trades to sync automatically
- Broker integration breadth (1,000+) is the binding constraint on your workflow
- You want a P&L Calendar as the default landing surface (it's their signature)
- An AI chat surface that comments on your trades fits your workflow
- You're comfortable with account-required cloud storage of your trade data
Pick Kyra if:
- You want trade data to stay on your phone — not sit on any developer-operated server
- You want pattern claims gated by sample size, with uncertainty ranges shown
- You want no account, no email collection, no password to remember
- You want pattern claims that show their evidence — sample size and uncertainty range on every card — rather than wrapped in "AI Copilot" branding
- You read App Store reviews critically and want to see how a cloud-sync journal looks when it hits the typical engineering-pressure failure modes (P/L drift, data-loss complaints) — SuperTrader's recent reviews are an instructive case study
The trade-off
Distribution is real. SuperTrader has substantial App Store presence and the broker-integration breadth Kyra deliberately doesn't pursue. For a trader whose workflow centers on MT4/MT5 auto-sync, SuperTrader is the natural fit.
Architecture is also real. Cloud-sync journals have a class of failure mode that is structural — P/L calculation drift, data-loss incidents, silent corruption events — that surfaces in App Store reviews whenever a cloud journal hits engineering pressure. Kyra's no-backend architecture removes that entire class of failure mode (Kyra has nothing to lose because Kyra has nothing). The trade-off is integration ergonomics on one side, architectural simplicity on the other.
Pricing is comparable on annual ($75 vs $39.99) for the value bundles each ships.
