How the numbers work

List price is the normal price on the firm's own pricing page. Discount-code and countdown prices are left out.

All-in to funded is the list price plus any activation fee the firm charges when you pass: what reaching your first funded account costs if you pass first time. Resets, retakes and add-ons are not included. Where the firm does not state whether there is an activation fee, we show no all-in cost rather than assume there is none.

Monthly plans are marked "per month": their all-in is one month plus the activation fee, and every extra month you take adds the monthly fee again.

Cost per $1K is the all-in cost divided by the account size in thousands of dollars, so different sizes can be compared. Where the firm does not state an activation fee, it uses the list price and says "list price only"; where a firm says a further fee applies but not how much, the row is not ranked on cost.

Target ÷ max loss is the first-step profit target divided by the maximum loss allowed. Lower means less profit to make for each unit of room you have to lose.

Other currencies. Prices the firm states in euros, pounds or another currency are listed separately at that price. We do not convert them, so they are not sorted against dollar prices.

Each row links to its source and shows the date we checked it. Latest check 14 October 2026. Where a firm does not state a value, we say so rather than guess.

How we rank: by the sort you choose (default: cost per $1K of funding, lowest first); monthly plans after one-time prices, missing values last, only US dollar prices ranked. Links marked Ad are affiliate links; they never change the order.

Challenges priced in US dollars: 18. Every price has a source: see the Source link in each row.
