Prop Firms ratings comparison

Our overall rating (0–5) for the top 15 prop firms.

Top Prop Firms: How we rank prop firms

Our overall score combines five areas: payout reliability and track record, fairness and clarity of the trading rules, pricing (challenge fees, refunds and resets), platforms, and customer support. A firm’s history of paying traders on time weighs the most, because a generous profit split is worth little if withdrawals are delayed or denied. Firms with documented payout disputes, sudden rule changes or regulatory warnings are marked down, and we mention those issues in each review.

Most prop firms are not regulated as brokers: you are buying an evaluation service, and funded accounts are often simulated. Read the full terms, especially the rules on news trading, holding over the weekend, expert advisors and copy trading, before you pay for a challenge.

Risk notice

Most traders do not pass evaluations, and challenge fees are usually not refunded if you fail. Treat a challenge fee as money at risk.

Top Prop Firms: frequently asked questions

What is Top Prop Firms?

Top Prop Firms is covered on this page with the main facts in one place: what is offered, who can take part and which conditions apply. Offers like this change often, so always confirm the current details on the official page before you sign up.

Who can claim Top Prop Firms?

Eligibility usually depends on your country of residence, a verified account and, for most trading promotions, a new or qualifying account. Read the eligibility section of the terms first; residents of some countries are excluded by the provider or by local rules.

What should I check before using Top Prop Firms?

The exact amount, percentage or reward and any maximum cap.
Trading volume or lot requirements and the deadline to meet them.
Which part can be withdrawn, and when.
Which company and licence your account will be opened under.

Is Top Prop Firms worth it?

It can be useful if the conditions match how you already trade. Do not change your strategy or risk more just to reach a bonus target. Trading leveraged products such as forex and CFDs carries a high risk of losing money.
