Who is gaining and who is losing
Sites with at least 50K visits in the earlier month, so a small site doubling from a low base does not crowd out the list.

How the figures are made
Prop Firm Pal records an estimated monthly visit count for the website of every prop firm it tracks. This report covers all 680 prop firms we track, from November 2025 to September 2026: 673 have a website on record, 560 have at least one month of traffic data, and 428 were measured in September 2026. Smaller sites often fall below the level at which traffic can be estimated, so not every prop firm has a figure every month - they are still counted as part of the industry.
The number of sites we measure has grown over that period, so a straight monthly total overstates industry growth. Growth figures are calculated on the 240 sites measured in every month instead, and month-on-month changes compare only sites measured in both months. The "all tracked sites" column is shown for completeness, not as a growth measure.
Visit counts are third-party estimates, not audited analytics, and they describe the prop firms we track rather than the entire market. Movements of a few percent are within the noise. Gainers and decliners only include sites with at least 50K visits in the earlier month, so a small site doubling from a low base does not dominate the list.

FAQs - Prop Trading Questions Answered
Answers on prop firms, funded accounts, challenges and how our platform works
To save money on a funded trading account, traders can use verified prop firm discount codes available on Prop Firm Pal. By applying these promo codes during checkout, traders reduce the cost of evaluation challenges. Combining structured comparisons with active discounts helps traders choose competitive programs while lowering upfront costs.
Prop trading is generally legal in most countries, but the regulatory status of specific prop firms can vary. Some jurisdictions have introduced rules affecting how prop firms operate or market their services. Certain prop firms also restrict access to traders in specific countries. Prop Firm Pal includes restricted country information on individual firm pages so you can quickly check whether a firm is available to traders in your region.
Yes, most prop firms charge a one-time challenge fee to enter an evaluation program. This fee typically ranges from around $50 for smaller account sizes to several hundred dollars for larger funded accounts. The fee covers access to the evaluation environment. If you pass, some firms refund the challenge fee with your first payout. Firms offering free challenges are rare and often compensate by taking a larger profit split or applying stricter conditions.
The best prop firm for futures trading will offer access to CME or exchange-listed contracts, clear rules around leverage and contract limits, and a payout structure suitable for high-frequency or systematic futures strategies. Futures prop firms often operate differently from forex-focused ones, with different fee structures and account types. Prop Firm Pal includes futures-focused firms in its comparisons so you can evaluate which programs support your preferred instruments and trading approach.
Each prop firm page on Prop Firm Pal includes a detailed company overview, evaluation rules, profit targets, drawdown limits, profit split information, available account sizes, trading instruments, restricted countries, FAQs, and user reviews.
