Questions
What is the cheapest futures prop firm?
By what you pay today at list price, Topstep's Standard path is lowest at $49 a month for a 50K Trading Combine, but it adds a $149 activation fee when you pass. If you pass in your first month, the lowest totals on this list are Topstep's No Activation Fee path ($95), FTMO Futures ($119) and Alpha Futures Standard ($129). Among one-time plans, FundedNext Flex is $141.99 and Tradeify Growth is $145.
Is a monthly or a one-time evaluation cheaper?
It depends how long you take to pass. A $95-a-month plan costs $285 over three months, while a $145 one-time plan stays $145 if you pass on that account. Use the months buttons above to re-sort the list.
What is an activation fee?
A one-time fee some firms charge when you pass and move to the funded account. On this list: $149 on Topstep's Standard path, $189 on Top One Elite Access, $130 at Take Profit Trader and Purdia, and $99 on Legends Apprentice. Most other plans here charge none.
Do these prices include sales and discount codes?
No. Every price is the firm's list price before any sale or code, so the plans compare fairly. Most firms run codes that cut these prices, often by half; today's codes are on our live codes page.
