Cost
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.
- #1 · Multi-asset
Maven Trading
The rock-bottom entry price is real, but so are the reports of rules surfacing only when you try to get paid. Read the current terms and conditions in full before funding a challenge, and keep first withdrawals small to test the process.

OneFunded
Extremely cheap to start, with a legitimate UK registration behind it, but still building its independent payout track record. Treat it as a small, first-account experiment rather than where you put your primary capital.

Funding Pips
Pick it for payout speed. Read the current rulebook each time you buy — terms move faster here than at older firms.

Goat Funded Trader
Cheap, fast and loud. The payout feed is real, but the plan matrix is the most confusing we have documented — read the exact consistency clause for the specific plan before you buy, because it varies inside the same brand.

Oanda Prop Trader
The brand pedigree is the whole pitch: a real, decades-old regulated broker underwriting the program. Treat it like any new firm regardless — start with one account and confirm payout speed yourself before scaling in.

Best value per evaluation in futures. Run several accounts on discount and treat the trailing drawdown as the real challenge.

The best pick if you hate evaluations. Start small, compound the scaling plan, and skip the challenge-fee treadmill.

FXIFY
The most configurable forex firm we track, and the broker-backed execution is a genuine edge. Price it honestly though: the advertised split and payout speed are add-ons, so compare the loaded cost against FTMO before you buy.

FAQ
- What is the cheapest prop firm challenge?
- Futures evaluations are cheapest. With an active discount code, a 50k futures account routinely lands under $40 — a fraction of a comparable forex challenge.
- Does a cheap challenge mean a worse firm?
- No. Price mostly tracks asset class and account size. What matters is whether the firm has an evidenced payout history and a drawdown rule you can actually trade.
- What about reset fees?
- A cheap first attempt with an expensive reset is not cheap. Check the reset price before you buy — it is the number most comparison sites leave out.
