Topstep
Worth itThe oldest name in futures funding, with rules you can actually read. Worth it if you already trade a plan and can pass in a month or two. Not a shortcut to income.

Futures prop firms, compared
A prop firm evaluation is a paid test. The cheapest sticker price is rarely the cheapest route to a payout. We compare the fees you pay until you pass, the drawdown rule that fails most people, and the split once funded.
Most people who buy an evaluation do not pass. Futures trading carries substantial risk of loss.

Tradeify
DependsFast-growing futures prop firm with no activation fee and a 90/10 split. Good terms on paper. Younger than Topstep, and the monthly price is higher.

How we ranked these
We model total cost to a first payout, not just the monthly fee.
Drawdown type matters more than target size: end-of-day drawdown is easier to live with than intraday trailing.
