Every Prop Firm Worth Knowing, in One Place
Two firms can both advertise a 90% split. One pays you inside 24 hours. The other has a consistency rule that quietly holds your money for another month. The difference is never in the marketing — it is in the fine print.
So we read the fine print on all 50. Every firm below links to a full review covering drawdown model, payout thresholds and what it actually costs, and the order is set by how many traders use them — not by who pays us most.
How this list is ordered
Default order is trader volume, measured by public review counts. It is an imperfect proxy, but it is honest: a firm with seventy thousand reviews has been tested by far more people than one with forty, and small samples produce the misleading perfect scores you see across this industry.
Volume over score
A 4.5 across 70,000 reviews tells you more than a 5.0 across 15. We show the review count beside every rating so you can weigh it yourself.
Years still trading
Survival is the strongest single predictor that a firm will still be paying next year. Firms under twelve months old carry a visible warning.
Verified against source
Rules and pricing are checked against each firm's own documentation, not repeated from other comparison sites. Unverified fields stay blank rather than guessed.
Commission changes nothing
We earn affiliate commission on some links. It has no effect on position, rating or verdict, and firms cannot pay to move up this page.
The five things that actually decide your outcome
Most traders compare account size and price, then discover the rules that matter only after they are funded. These are the terms worth reading first.
Static drawdown sits at a fixed level. Trailing drawdown follows your profits upward, so a winning day permanently raises the floor you can be closed out at. End-of-day trailing is gentler than intraday trailing — and the difference decides more accounts than any target does.
A cap on how much of your total profit may come from a single day, commonly 20% to 35%. One outsized win can therefore delay a payout for weeks. Firms advertising no consistency rule on funded accounts are offering something genuinely rare.
"Up to 100%" is almost never the starting figure. Check what you earn on your first payout, not the ceiling reached after scaling to seven figures or paying for an add-on.
Add activation fees, reset fees, platform and data fees, and monthly renewals. A $99 evaluation with a $125 activation and monthly billing is not a $99 evaluation.
Processing speed is the easy part. The real gate is what you must do to request: minimum profitable days, minimum profit per day, waiting windows, and buffers. Read that before the marketing number.
Risk note. An evaluation fee is a cost, not an investment, and most buyers never reach a payout. Nearly every firm listed here funds traders on simulated capital rather than live funds, and firms can change rules or close at any time. Never pay for an evaluation with money you cannot afford to lose.
