How to read a prop firm comparison

Put two firms side by side and the differences that decide anything are rarely the ones on the front page. Profit split has converged across the industry — almost everyone advertises 80 to 90 per cent — so it separates firms far less than the entry fee, the size of account that fee buys, and the drawdown rule you have to trade under.

Read the table in that order. Entry fee and max funding tell you what a firm costs and how far it can take you. Profit split, payout methods and the payout record tell you what happens once you pass. Rating, review count and trust score are the site’s own evidence: how many traders have reported on the firm, and how much of that report checks out. A firm strong on terms and thin on evidence is a different bet from one with the reverse.

What a comparison cannot settle is the rules of a specific challenge — whether the drawdown trails your equity, whether a consistency rule limits how much of your profit may come from one day, how many days you must trade. Those differ between challenges at the same firm, and they are where most evaluations are lost. Use this page to get to a shortlist of two or three, then read the challenge terms on each firm’s own page.

Comparing prop firms: common questions

What actually matters when comparing prop firms?

The rules, far more than the profit split. Nearly every firm now advertises 80–90%, so the split rarely decides anything. What decides it is whether the drawdown is static or trailing, whether a consistency rule caps how much of your profit may come from a single day, how many days you have to trade, and whether positions can be held through news or over the weekend. Those live in each challenge's rules, and they are what most failed evaluations come down to.

Does a cheaper challenge make a firm cheaper?

Not on its own. The entry fee in the table is the cheapest challenge a firm sells, and the real cost of getting funded also depends on how often traders have to retry. A firm with a low fee and a trailing drawdown can cost more over three attempts than a dearer firm with a static one. Compare the fee against the rules, and against the account size that fee actually buys.

How many firms is it worth comparing at once?

Two, usually three at most. Past that the table stops being readable and the choice stops being about the numbers. A practical approach is to shortlist on one thing that disqualifies firms quickly — the platform you trade, or whether payouts are verified — and only then compare the survivors side by side.

Where do the figures in the comparison come from?

From each firm's own published challenge terms, refreshed when we re-check a firm, plus the ratings and payout data traders contribute to this site. Entry fee is the lowest priced challenge, max funding the largest account a firm offers, and profit split the highest tier advertised — so a firm's own page may show a range where the comparison shows one figure. Before buying, confirm the specific challenge on the firm's site: promotional pricing changes faster than any directory can track.

Is a firm with more reviews the safer choice?

More reviews mean more evidence, not automatically a better firm — and review volume tracks marketing spend as much as quality. Verified payouts are the stronger signal: they are payments traders proved they received, rather than claims. Read the review count and the payout record together, and treat a firm with neither as unproven regardless of its terms.
