Futures prop firm comparison chart

The core rules of every plan we track, grouped by firm. Prices are list prices (Lucid's are with-CHAMP prices from our Oct 5 check); code CHAMP applies its discount at checkout where one is on file (none is confirmed at Vest Capital). Vest Capital trades USDC perpetuals on its own venue, not CME futures, so read its rows on their own terms. Click a firm name for the full review.

Comparing futures prop firms

Which futures prop firm is best overall? +

No single firm is best for every trader, because the rules that matter most pull in different directions: drawdown type, daily loss limit, consistency rule and payout cadence. Our ranked list of all 9 firms we cover (8 futures firms and 1 multi-asset firm) orders them by our published criteria: Lucid Trading is the top-ranked futures firm, and Vest Capital, #1 overall, is multi-asset (USDC perpetuals, not CME futures). The chart above shows every plan's rules side by side.

Which futures prop firm is cheapest? +

It depends on the account size and the discount. Two examples from our data: Top One Futures' Elite Access evaluation is $39 one-time at every size (you then pay a $139 to $359 activation fee after passing), and Apex's 25K Intraday Trail evaluation lists at $167 before CHAMP's 90%-off discount on file. Our cheapest prop firm challenges list works out the cost per size.

Where does this comparison data come from? +

From each firm's own help center and website, read in dated passes; the latest was Oct 23, 2026, and Vest Capital was read on Nov 5, 2026 when we added it. Prices are list prices (Lucid's are with-CHAMP prices from our Oct 5 check), and code CHAMP applies its discount at checkout where one is on file (none is confirmed at Vest Capital). Where a firm blocked our check, we say so and use search-index excerpts of its help center. How we audit explains the labels, and the audit log shows what changed.

Futures prop firm comparison: 8 firms + 1 multi-asset, 30 plans.
