The largest prop firm by trader reviews. Base split is 80%, not the advertised 95%. It also pays you 15% of profits made during the challenge, whether you pass or fail.
Verified 4 Sep 2026 · re-checked every 30 days
Quick overview
- Size: around 69,700 Trustpilot reviews at 4.5, the largest review base of any prop firm
- Paid out: $15.19M in February 2026 across 13,712 transactions, published openly
- Split: 80% standard, 95% only via a paid upgrade at checkout
- Unique: 15% of challenge-phase profit is paid to you whether you pass or fail
- Fee: refunded with your first funded payout
- Speed: 24-hour payout guarantee, median around 5 hours
If you trade CFDs and want the lowest chance of a firm disappearing with your money, this is the safest large-scale pick available. Just buy it for the 80% split and treat 95% as an optional extra. Traders who buy on the headline number end up disappointed at their first payout. Start on the $6,000 account to test the payout process before risking a bigger fee.
The four models
Older reviews mentioning "Evaluation" or "Express" are out of date, because those folded into the Stellar family in 2026.
| Model | Phases | Target | Max drawdown | Daily loss |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stellar 2-Step | Two | 8% / 5% | 10% | 5% |
| Stellar 1-Step | One | 10% | 6% | 5% |
| Stellar Lite | Two | 8% / 4% | Lower | 5% |
| Stellar Instant | None | — | Verify | Verify |
- Buy the 2-Step unless you have a reason not to, since it gives 10% drawdown against the 1-Step's 6%
- The 1-Step funds you faster but gives 40% less room for error; most failures are drawdown, not target
- Instant is the least documented, so ask support for the full rules in writing before paying
- Sizes run $6,000 to $200,000; roughly $59.99 to $1,099.99 one-time
The 15% challenge share
- You keep 15% of profits made during the evaluation phases, whether you pass or fail
- Example: $50,000 account, 10% target hit = $5,000 profit, $750 to you
- That is more than the challenge costs, so a failed attempt can still leave you ahead
- No other firm at this scale offers it
- Only helps if you actually produce profit before failing. It is not insurance for blowing up early
Is the 95% upgrade worth it?
Pick your size and expected profit. Compare what the upgrade adds against what it costs at checkout.
Payouts
- Guarantee: 24 hours, with a median around 5 hours in practice
- Cycle: bi-weekly on standard funded accounts; some models pay faster
- Methods: crypto (USDT) and bank transfer via intermediaries such as Rise
- Fee refund: your challenge cost returns with the first payout
- Evidence: monthly payout reports published, covering 13,712 separate transactions in Feb 2026
- Check your country's supported withdrawal method before buying, not after
Rules worth knowing
- Weekend holding allowed across Stellar models
- News trading and EAs permitted with few restrictions, though you should check your specific model
- MT4 and MT5, covering forex, indices, commodities and crypto
- Accounts are simulated; you trade against the firm's risk parameters, not live market funds
- The exact drawdown calculation method is not stated in public terms ask support before buying
- Instant funding terms are the thinnest part of the documentation
- Four models with different drawdowns makes like-for-like comparison harder than it should be
FAQ
Is FundedNext legit?
Yes. Published payout data at a volume that would be hard to fake, plus the sector's largest review base. That proves it pays. It does not make an evaluation a good bet.
What is the real split?
80%. The 95% headline needs a paid upgrade. Some models scale toward 90% on performance.
How fast are payouts?
Median about 5 hours, guaranteed within 24. The wait to request is longer than the wait to receive.
Do I get my fee back?
Yes, with your first funded payout.
Which size should I start with?
The $6,000 at around $59.99. Risking a small fee to verify a firm pays beats buying a $200,000 challenge on faith.
Who should skip it?
Futures traders, who should use a futures-native firm. Anyone whose edge is one big position, given the 5% daily loss cap. Anyone buying purely for the 95% headline.

Risk note. An evaluation fee is a cost, not an investment, and most buyers never reach a payout. Funded accounts here are simulated. Rules change often. This page was verified on 4 September 2026, so re-check anything older than a month. This is a research-based review: we have read the rulebooks and payout reports, but have not traded a FundedNext account. PropFirmPrime earns commission on some links, which never changes our score.
