Evaluation fees add up fast when you're retrying — so the discount is the real difference-maker. We ranked the futures prop firms by their actual cost after the CHAMP code: evaluation plus activation, not the sticker price.
The sticker price on a challenge is rarely the real cost. We ranked by the total to get funded after the CHAMP code — the evaluation fee plus any activation fee — and verify each discount at checkout every week. A firm with a huge percentage off but a steep activation charge can end up dearer than it looks, so we weight a waived or absent activation fee heavily. See every live offer on the deals page.

The biggest discount on the site — and no activation fee. With CHAMP, Apex runs 90% off the evaluation and has a No-Activation build that skips the activation fee, so a 50K eval drops to roughly the price of a nice dinner. Nothing else we track gets you funded for less. It's also the most proven firm on the site ($800M+ paid), so cheap here doesn't mean flimsy — it means the best value, full stop.
60% off across multiple funding paths. Top One runs one of the steeper CHAMP discounts at 60% off, spread across its Elite Access, Elite Daily, Instant Sim, and Ignite routes — so you can pick a cheap path that matches your style, including instant options. It rates well with readers (4.7/5) and scales to $150K. A strong value pick if you want choice as well as a low price.
Half off, and nothing to pay at funding. Lucid pairs a 50%-off CHAMP discount with free activation, so the cost to actually get funded stays low — there's no surprise charge waiting after you pass. Add a one-day Pro pass and no-DLL paths, and it's a genuinely cheap route to a funded account, even if its payout record is lighter as a newer firm.
Big discounts with zero activation fee on every account. My Funded Futures runs CHAMP discounts up to 50% off and never charges an activation fee, so the headline price is close to the real price. You also get a lot for the money — no DLL, four product paths, the largest ceiling on the site, and a proven payout record ($250M+). Cheap and capable.
