Prop firm explorer

Ranked by what fails traders — not by who pays us.

Profit split is the easy number. The ones that decide whether you keep the account are drawdown method, rule clarity and whether the firm has ever rewritten the rules mid-challenge — so those are what we score.

Ranked by provider score

A polished brand with missing fields should not read as reliably as a fully-verified one.

FTMOThe most-reviewed and, by most third-party trust rankings, the benchmark name in CFD proprietary trading challenges — Prague-based, running since 2015, with a 4.8/5 Trustpilot score across 50,989 reviews (92% five-star) and $650M+ reported paid to traders since inception. Runs a 2-Step Challenge (static drawdown, fee refunded on first payout) alongside a newer, faster 1-Step Challenge launched Feb 2026 (trailing drawdown, a 'Best Day Rule', and — easy to miss — a non-refundable entry fee). In August 2025 partnered with, and per secondary reporting completed acquiring in December 2025, the US-regulated broker OANDA — giving the FTMO group an actual regulated-brokerage arm behind its evaluation-challenge business, a scale/legitimacy signal neither of the other two prop firms on this site can claim.

The5ersIsrael-founded (2016) CFD proprietary trading challenge firm — also styled 'The5%ers' — one of the longer-running firms in the category, with a 4.7/5 Trustpilot score across 36,634 reviews (90% five-star) and a 96% reply rate to negative reviews. Runs four CFD evaluation programs (Bootcamp, High Stakes, Hyper Growth, Pro Growth) all sharing a genuinely trader-friendly trait — static, not trailing, drawdown across every program — plus a separate futures arm. Real caveats: a February 2024 suspension of new US CFD traders with no confirmed lift found, a High Stakes evaluation-fee refund that is 70% (not the commonly assumed 100%), and a documented pattern of large-payout account-termination disputes citing vague 'account integrity' language.

FundedNextOne of the largest CFD proprietary trading challenge firms by review volume and stated payouts (4.5/5 on Trustpilot from 77,610 reviews; $300M+ in claimed cumulative trader payouts). Sells four materially different CFD challenge models — Stellar 2-Step, Stellar 1-Step, Stellar Lite and instant-funded Stellar Instant — plus a newer Flex Challenge and a separate futures program. Cheap entry fees (from $59.99, refunded on first payout) and broad strategy tolerance (EAs, news trading, weekend holding) are real strengths; a documented review-manipulation finding traced to the firm's own staff and a notable irony — it restricts access from Bangladesh, its founder's home country — are real caveats.

FundingTradersA fast-growing, aggressively-discounted CFD prop challenge firm (four models: Instant, 1-Step, and two 2-Step Pro variants; $5K–$400K accounts) whose strongest selling points — weekly payouts, cheap entry fees, static drawdown on its challenge accounts — are real and independently checkable on its own help center. Two things pull the score down hard: Trustpilot itself has suppressed the company's rating for a guidelines breach and confirms it removed fake reviews, and the company's own Terms of Service names a Miami Beach, FL entity while citing UAE governing law and a Czech Republic capital-markets statute — a mismatch that, combined with conflicting secondary reports of Hong Kong founding and Dubai registration, makes it genuinely unclear which jurisdiction actually governs a dispute.
