This page shows the 25 products with the lowest cost to get funded at 100K (of 254 that match). Filters and sorting here apply to these 25. Compare all of them in the full table: Futures (28 firms) · Forex & CFD (43 firms) · Crypto (7 firms)
How we selected these firms
- Ranked by cost to get funded at list price: evaluation (x2 when billed monthly) + activation fee.
- Only products with a verified activation fee (including a verified “none”) are ranked.
- One product per firm per size: the cheapest.
How we rank cost
The evaluation price alone is misleading. We rank by cost to get funded: the list price of the evaluation, counted twice when it is billed monthly (assuming you pass within two billing months), plus the activation fee due after passing. Discount codes are not applied, because they change often; the table above shows code prices where a code is active.
Products whose activation fee we could not verify are left out of the ranking rather than assumed free.

Cheap is not the same as good value
A cheap evaluation with a trailing intraday drawdown and a high target can cost more in the end than a pricier one you are more likely to pass. Compare the target-to-drawdown ratio and the drawdown model next to the price, and check the reset fee if you expect to retry.
FAQ
What is the cheapest prop firm?
It depends on market and size. The tables rank the cheapest products per size by total cost to get funded, not by the headline evaluation price.
Why do you count monthly evaluations twice?
Few traders pass within the first billing month. Counting two months gives a fairer comparison with one-time fees; the cost calculator lets you change the number of months.
Do discount codes change the ranking?
Not the default order or our picks: they use list prices so a temporary code cannot push a firm up. The firm table shows the code price when one is active, and a sort you choose yourself uses that price when “Compare with discount codes” is ticked.
Are cheaper evaluations harder to pass?
Not always, but cheap products often have smaller drawdowns, a trailing intraday model or extra fees after passing. Compare the rules next to the price.
