About PropFirmReviews
PropFirmReviews.net exists because the prop trading industry deserves a review publication that traders can actually trust. We check published terms, document every rule we publish, and never let an affiliate relationship change a rating.
The number that matters
Why we exist
When we started PropFirmReviews in 2023, the existing landscape of “prop firm reviews” was, almost without exception, an affiliate marketing exercise. Top-10 lists were ordered by commission rate, not rule quality. “Independent” reviewers had never opened the challenges they were rating. Rules changed weekly and nobody updated their pages.
The result was a market where traders could lose thousands of dollars chasing a recommendation written by someone who had never traded the platform — and where firms with predatory rule structures consistently outranked firms with clean, transparent ones.
We built this site to do the opposite. We assess firms against six published dimensions. Every rule we publish, we pull from the firm’s own terms. Every rating, we can defend on the record. Every commission we earn is disclosed in the same paragraph as the recommendation it sits next to.
How we operate
The non-negotiables that shape every review on this site.
We check published evaluation terms, fees, and payout rules against our six published dimensions.
Every numeric claim — fees, drawdown thresholds, profit splits, payout windows — links back to the firm’s published terms. No “we heard” claims.
We earn affiliate commissions on some links. Every commission relationship is disclosed on the page where the link appears, not buried elsewhere.
A commission never changes a score or a rank. Rankings are not for sale.
Firm rules change without notice. We re-audit every published review on a fixed monthly schedule and stamp the date on every page.
When we’re wrong, we say so on the article itself — not in a quiet footer. Every correction is dated and visible at the point of the error.
What we cover
We rate firms across seven distinct categories because they operate on fundamentally different rule architectures. A forex challenge with tick-by-tick trailing drawdown is not comparable to a futures combine with a static loss limit, and neither is comparable to a prediction-market account where the “rules” are simply the contract terms.
Our category split: CFD / Forex, Futures, Crypto, Stocks, Options, Sports Prop, and Prediction Markets. Each has its own scoring rubric — weighted to reflect what actually matters in that market.
The full breakdown of how we score, including weightings and exclusions, is on our review methodology page.
Send us a tip. We read every submission and prioritize the ones with documented payout disputes or rule changes that aren’t reflected on the firm’s own site.
