| Pricing | 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 | USD $49/month ($50K Buying Power, Standard path) · free tier: None |
| Pricing model | One-time evaluation fee with profit share | Subscription |
| Best for | 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. | Disciplined US-based futures day traders on liquid index futures who size small, bank payouts frequently, use the optional Daily Loss Limit and treat the monthly fee as a tuition-style cost. |
| Avoid if | 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. | Your edge depends on one or two outsized days, you need an enforceable legal right to your profits, you scalp news in conditions where a platform freeze is fatal, you are outside the US and need fast withdrawals, or you might let a subscription rebill unnoticed. |

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.
