Prop firm comparison
Prop firms charge a fee for an evaluation; if you meet its rules, they offer a funded account and a share of the profit. This page puts each firm’s published rules side by side. We do not score or rank firms, and nothing here says you will pass an evaluation or earn money from one.
How to read this
- All figures are for the standard evaluation course on a 100,000 USD account. Course names and number of steps differ by firm (E8 has one step).
- Values are the firm’s own wording, summarised; the exact quoted sentence and its page are under “Sources” for each firm. If a figure is not on the firm’s pages, we say so instead of guessing.
- Prices change often and sales cut them for a limited time. We show the list price.
- We list a firm only if its payouts can be seen in public records and we have found no current closure or payout stoppage. A past halt, if any, is stated under that firm’s “Payout record” (FundingPips halted service in February 2024 and later resumed). That is not a statement that a firm is safe: individual complaints exist for some of them. Prop firms are not regulated like brokers.

Payout record (public evidence)
- Third-party payout tracker: Independent payout-wallet tracker showing roughly 1,252 payouts / about $1.5M in the last 30 days and 4,290 payouts / about $5.6M in the last 90 days (page window ends 31/10), paid on 21 of 30 days; the page itself calls the figures wallet totals and an upper bound, not certified trader payouts. Source (2026-11-01)
- Third-party payout tracker: On-chain payout tracker listing 31,811 tracked payouts (about $64.9M total, largest $109,637.38); its latest recorded payout is dated 19 Jun 2026 and the firm profile is unclaimed, so the data may be stale or incomplete. Source (2026-11-01)
- Review site: 22,038 reviews with many reviewers describing received payouts (several report 3rd-5th payouts) alongside others reporting rejected payouts or closed accounts; Trustpilot shows no star rating (marked unavailable due to a guideline breach and removal of fake reviews), so treat as weak. Source (2026-11-01)
- Trade press: Finance Magnates (3 Dec 2025) reports the firm's claimed cumulative payouts and notes yearly payouts may have fallen to about one-third of 2024; figures are company-supplied, not independently verified, so this documents press coverage only. Source (2026-11-01)
Closure / payout-stop check (2026-11-01): No closure, no firm-wide payout stoppage and no regulator enforcement action found. Found: (1) Feb 2024 suspension of purchases for US clients citing recent US market developments (Finance Magnates, 19 Feb 2024); (2) Jun 2024 blocking of about 150 traders over alleged group trading, firm said it would restore wrongly banned accounts (Finance Magnates, 10 Jun 2024); (3) Finance Magnates Dec 2025 says payouts may have fallen about threefold vs 2024 (company-supplied figures); (4) individual payout-denial complaints on Trustpilot and Forex Peace Army (EA-use, CID/shared-IP rules, group trading allegations), and Trustpilot shows no rating because of a guideline breach / fake review removal. Search results about Alpha Futures concern a different firm and were not counted. Complaints are unverified individual accounts; no mass non-payment reports found. Evidence for payouts is weaker than for some peers (third-party trackers are wallet-based and the onchain tracker's latest entry is dated 19 Jun 2026).

Found only individual complaints (Forex Peace Army threads and Trustpilot): payouts refused over a consistency rule the reporters say was not shown on the sales page, an interview required after reaching the target, one account disabled over an alleged forbidden location, and a 1-star profit split cut to 50% (consistent with the official Guardian Shield rule). thetrustedprop.com lists zero published payout-denial reports. No Finance Magnates or FinanceFeeds coverage found. Independent payout evidence consists of wallet trackers and Trustpilot only (both weak, see payout_evidence); payout totals in press releases are company claims and were not counted.
