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.
