Cheapest prop firms

Prop firms whose cheapest account costs $100 or less, cheapest first, from the list prices on each firm's own website.

Checked against each firm's own website Last check 11 Oct 2026 53 firms

How this list works

How we rank: firms whose cheapest currently sold account has a list price of $100 or less in US dollars on the firm's own website, sorted by that price, lowest first; on equal prices by Transparency Index score, highest first, then non-provisional before provisional, then A–Z.

The cheapest prop firms in our data are Goat Funded Trader ($1), MasterFunders ($5) and Eightcap Challenges ($5). This page lists all 53 firms whose cheapest currently sold account has a list price of $100 or less, cheapest first, with what that price buys where the firm states it.

Prices are list prices in US dollars from each firm's own website. We leave out discount-code and countdown prices, and firms that show prices only in another currency. A low price says nothing about how reliably a firm pays out, so the Transparency Index score is shown next to each price.

Checked against each firm's own website; last data check 11 October 2026. Where a firm's site does not state a value, we say so rather than guess.

How we rank: by list price, lowest first; on equal prices by Transparency Index score, highest first. Links marked Ad are affiliate links — we earn a commission if you buy through them; it never changes a firm's score or rank.

Provisional: our confidence in the firm's Transparency Index score is low, or the score is flagged for checking. Read the review before you rely on it.

The lowest price is not the lowest total cost

Smallest account

The entry price is usually for the smallest account. Compare the price with the account size, the profit target and how much drawdown you are allowed.

Resets and retakes

If you breach a rule you pay again, either a reset fee or a new challenge. Several cheap attempts can cost more than one dearer attempt whose rules suit you.

Monthly billing

Some prices are monthly and repeat until you pass or cancel. A $50-a-month evaluation that takes three months costs $150.

Activation and add-on fees

Some firms charge an activation fee after you pass, or sell add-ons such as a higher profit split or a bigger drawdown. These are not in the entry price.

Refunds

Some firms refund the fee with your first payout or offer a free retake in some cases; many say fees are non-refundable. Check the terms before you buy. You can also try a free trial where one is offered.

Frequently asked questions

What is the cheapest prop firm?

In our data the lowest list price is $1, at Goat Funded Trader (it buys a $1,000 account, Goat 1$ plan), followed by MasterFunders ($5), Eightcap Challenges ($5) and Atmos Funded ($5). 10 firms start under $25 and 38 under $50. The cheapest account is usually the smallest one, so check what the price buys.

Which cheap prop firms have the highest Transparency Index scores?

Among the 53 firms on this page, the highest Transparency Index scores belong to City Traders Imperium (72/100, from $29), Pipster (70/100, from $8.88), CoinProp (69/100, from $24), FundedFast (68/100, from $49) and OneFunded (67/100, from $29).

Which cheap prop firms charge monthly?

Darwinex Zero and Vanquish Trader say on their own site that they bill on a recurring basis, so the cost repeats each month until you pass or cancel. BluSky, Phoenix Trader Funding and Alpha Futures sell both recurring and one-time accounts. The billing column in the table shows what each firm states; "Not stated" means we could not confirm it from the firm's own pages.

Is the cheapest prop firm challenge the best value?

Not always. A low price often buys a small account, and resets, retakes, monthly renewals and activation fees after passing can add up. A dearer challenge whose rules suit your trading can cost less overall than several cheap attempts. Compare the full cost with the account size, profit target and drawdown rules.
