Cheapest prop firm challenges

Sorted by the lowest realistic entry price for a mid-size account. Cheap only counts when the firm behind it pays — so every entry here still clears our payout-evidence floor.

How we ranked this: Ranked by cheapest entry price for a ~50k account, then filtered to firms with a documented withdrawal history.
