Can you compare a futures prop firm against a forex prop firm?

No, and that is deliberate. The rules that matter in futures are not the rules that matter in CFD or forex, and prediction market firms are scored on things neither of those use. Comparing across categories produces a table where half the rows do not apply. The tool only lets you compare two firms that sit in the same category.

Where does the comparison data come from?

Every figure is pulled from our own published review of that firm, which is in turn sourced from the firm's public rules pages and terms. Where a firm does not publish something, the tool shows Not published rather than guessing.

Does a higher score mean the firm is better for me?

Not necessarily. Our score weights challenge rules, payout reliability, cost, platform, support and transparency at fixed weights. If one of those matters far more to you than the others, read the dimension breakdown rather than the headline number.

Compare prop firms
side by side

Pick a category, pick two firms, and see their rules next to each other. Profit targets, drawdown, splits, payout terms, platforms and our full scoring breakdown, pulled straight from our reviews. Firms can only be compared against others in the same category, because a futures drawdown rule and a prediction market drawdown rule are not the same thing.

How to read this comparison

Rows where the two firms differ are highlighted. Rows where a firm has not published a figure show Not published, and we leave them in rather than hiding them, because a firm choosing not to publish its drawdown rule is itself worth seeing next to one that does.

The score breakdown uses six dimensions weighted at 20% for challenge rules, 20% for payout reliability, 20% for cost against value, 15% for platform, 15% for support and 10% for transparency. A handful of older reviews still run an earlier five dimension version and will show fewer bars. Full detail is on our scoring methodology page.

A higher overall score does not automatically make a firm the right one for you. If you only care about payout speed, read the payout row and the payout reliability bar rather than the headline number.
