| Pricing | Not published (live fee table is client-side rendered and was not captured; must be checked at ftmo.com/en/#pricing) · free tier: Free unlimited practice trial available alongside the paid Challenge | USD $249 one-time for a 1 Step $100,000 account under the promotional "Summer Plan" (only price point rendered publicly at retrieval) · free tier: None |
| Pricing model | One-time fee per Challenge (varies by account size, currency, risk mode and promotion) | One-time evaluation fee with profit share |
| Best for | Disciplined, risk-managed traders on MT4/MT5/cTrader who want $10k–$200k of simulated capital with fast reward withdrawals, and who can trade comfortably inside a 1% per-trade cap after their first payout. | Disciplined forex, metals and indices traders who want a long-established prop firm with a large, current payout record, no evaluation time limit, and who intend to stay and scale rather than take one payout and leave. |
| Avoid if | You are a news or high-volatility scalper on gold and indices where slippage can turn a compliant 0.95% risk into a rule breach, you need a regulated counterparty and real client-money protection, or you are a cost-sensitive beginner likely to need several paid retries. | You need a regulated counterparty or investor protection, want a single large withdrawal quickly, trade high-variance or swing styles sensitive to daily consistency rules and swap costs, or want to compare exact fees across all account sizes before buying. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
