"—" means the firm's pages we read did not state it. Max DD and target are percent of the starting balance for the main program; dollar rules are converted using the account size named on the firm's page.

Head-to-head comparisons
Start with the rule that could end your account
Sort by the limit most likely to end your account, not just the lowest fee. If losses within a trading day are your concern, start with daily loss. If a moving loss floor is your concern, start with drawdown type, then compare the maximum drawdown.
Compare the main program shown for each firm. Do not assume its fee, target or payout conditions apply to every program that firm sells. Check the firm's page for other programs before choosing.
The site covers 14 prop firms. We read their official rule pages in October 2026. The table reflects that check; confirm today's rules and checkout terms before paying.
What each column tells you
Read each value with its program and conditions. A fee or percentage alone does not explain how a breach happens or when you can receive a payout.
- Cheapest fee: The lowest listed fee within the table's scope, as listed in October 2026. Check which account and program it buys; do not assume it buys the program described in every other column.
- Target: The profit requirement for the displayed evaluation. It is a passing requirement, not a promised return or payout.
- Max drawdown: The allowed loss relative to the rule's reference point. Check the calculation and breach trigger, not just the size of the allowance.
- Drawdown type: How the loss floor behaves. A static floor stays fixed; a trailing floor moves as the rule's reference value rises. Check what makes that floor move and whether it eventually stops moving.
- Daily loss: The loss limit within the firm's defined trading day. Check the reset time and what counts toward the limit before treating it as room to trade.
- Split: The share of eligible profits allocated to you. It does not establish payout eligibility by itself.
- Payout: When and under what conditions you can request payment. Read the conditions rather than treating a schedule as an unconditional payment promise.
- News: Restrictions around news events. Check which events, trading actions and time windows the program's rule covers.
What the table cannot settle
Promotions can change fees, and programs inside one firm can have different rules. Confirm the current fee and selected program on the official rules page. Check the site's rule changes page for updates recorded since the rules were checked.
Challenges are paid evaluations on simulated accounts. Most traders do not pass, and the fee is usually lost when they fail. Funded accounts are also simulated at most firms; a displayed account size is not cash you own.
Read the official rules before paying. If a detail is missing, the firm's pages do not state it; do not treat that gap as permission. If pages conflict, confirm which rule governs your selected program.
