Frequently asked questions
How this ranking list works on Prop Firm Pal
What is the cheapest Cheapest prop firm?
Traders Launch has the lowest evaluation price to a $100,000 funded account at $49. The median across the 13 firms on this page that publish a $100,000 price is $239, and the most expensive is Hantec Trader at $299. Instant-funding accounts are priced separately and cost considerably more per $1,000 of funding.
Which Cheapest prop firm has the highest profit split?
Funded X advertises the highest split on this page at 100%, against a median of 90%. The top split usually requires a scaling plan or a paid add-on rather than being the default on a first account.
Which Cheapest prop firms use static drawdown instead of trailing?
FundedHive use a static maximum drawdown, measured from your starting balance. 8 firms on this page use a trailing drawdown that follows your peak balance instead, which is materially harder to trade around.
Which Cheapest prop firm has the easiest profit target?
Traders Launch sets the lowest first-phase profit target on this page at 2%. A lower target is not automatically easier — check it against the daily and maximum drawdown limits, which is where most evaluations are actually failed.
Which trading platforms do Cheapest prop firms support?
Across the 13 Cheapest prop firms on this page, the most widely supported platforms are cTrader (7), MT5 (6), Quantower (4), MatchTrader (3), NinjaTrader (3), MT4 (2). The number in brackets is how many firms here offer that platform.
Do any Cheapest prop firms offer instant funding?
Yes — Instant Funding, Atmos Funded, Hantec Trader, Alpha Futures and Funded X sell an instant-funding account with no evaluation to pass. Expect to pay several times more per $1,000 of funding than the equivalent evaluation, because the fee is buying the account rather than a chance at one.
How do Cheapest prop firms pay traders?
The payout methods listed most often on this page are Crypto (3), Bank Transfer (2), Rise (2), Skrill (2), Wire transfer (2), ACH (US bank accounts) (1). Payout method and payout frequency are set per firm and can change — each firm profile carries the date its record was last checked.
Which Cheapest prop firm is rated highest by traders?
Maven Trading holds the highest community score on this page at 4.1 out of 5 from 5 reviews, among the 2 firms here with at least three reviews. Review scores are trader-submitted and are not part of a firm's paid placement.
How is this list of Cheapest prop firms ranked?
Rankings combine verification status, community review score, review volume, estimated website traffic and profile completeness. Featured placements are paid and are labelled as such; they never change the organic order. Prop Firm Pal earns affiliate commission from some listed firms, which does not affect ranking or the figures shown.
