What we could not fully verify

Main program picked: 1 Step (live trailing on unrealized profit, no DLL; calculator preloaded with it). Six plans exist: 1 Step, Direct to Funded, Static (10K-50K), Diamond Hands (100K), End of Day (50K $3,000 target/$2,000 DD/DLL $1,100, 100K $6,000/$3,500/$2,200), Fast Track (10K).
1 Step eval prices ($167/$207/$297/$517 per 30 days) and targets/drawdowns come from the site's own cost-to-get-funded calculator, which states 'pricing snapshot as of May 2026'. The live plan-picker prices (sales) could not be captured. Treat as list prices that may be stale.
Funding (activation) fee: calculator shows one-time $157 (50K) and $227 (100K/150K/250K); homepage says 'as low as $157' one-time or $87 monthly. activationFeeAmount = 157 is the lowest tier.
Reset $47 per homepage/evaluations page (Fast Track has none). Max contracts for 1 Step not captured. Consistency, news and weekend rules for 1 Step not captured. Data fee not stated.
Page says accounts to 250K on evaluations page but homepage says max $150K; 250K included based on the calculator.
