Alpha's evaluations are monthly subscriptions; Tradeify's plans are one-time payments. Past the billing, the big differences are Alpha Advanced's $15,000 withdrawals and Tradeify Select's daily payouts.
Alpha Futures is built around fewer, larger withdrawals: up to 4 a month, each after 5 winning days of $200 or more, capped at $1,000 to $2,500 on Zero, $3,000 to $5,000 on Standard and $15,000 per request on Advanced. Advanced has no daily loss limit at any stage and no news restrictions, and Zero can pass in a day. Evaluations are monthly until you pass, with $0 activation; Direct is a one-time, straight-to-funded plan. Alpha publishes $70M+ in performance fees paid.
Tradeify charges once and never an activation fee. Its Select evaluation has no daily loss limit; after passing you choose Daily payouts (capped at $600 to $2,500) or Flex (no DLL, capped at $1,250 to $4,500 on a 5-day cycle). Growth has no evaluation consistency rule but a DLL and a 35% funded rule, and Lightning skips the evaluation. Tradeify publishes a $350M+ payout total.
Want $15,000 withdrawals with no DLL or news limits? Alpha Advanced. Want daily payouts and one-time pricing with no activation fee? Tradeify Select.

Alpha Futures Zero
Tradeify GrowthBoth firms sell four ways in, and each has a close counterpart on the other side.
One-day evaluations
Neither checks consistency in the evaluation, and both have a DLL (Zero $500 to $2,000; Growth $600 to $3,750). Funded, Zero checks 40% and Growth 35%. Zero covers 25K to 100K and caps withdrawals at $1,000 to $2,500; Growth covers 25K to 150K, with caps that rise from $1,000 to $2,500 on the first payout to $1,000 to $5,000 by the fourth.
No daily loss limit
Both check 40% in the evaluation and none funded, and both need at least 3 evaluation days. Advanced has no DLL at either stage and no news restrictions, and allows $15,000 per request up to 4 times a month. Select's evaluation has no DLL and neither does the Flex path, which caps each payout at $1,250 to $4,500 every 5 days. Advanced costs $209 to $489 a month; Select is $109 to $369 once.
Frequency vs size
Standard checks 50% in the evaluation and 40% qualified, and caps withdrawals at $3,000 to $5,000, up to 4 times a month. Select Daily checks 40% in the evaluation and none funded, and pays daily, capped at $600 to $2,500. Both add a DLL only once funded (Standard $1,000 to $3,000; Select Daily $500 to $1,750).
No evaluation
The same first profit goal ($1,500 / $3,000 / $6,000 / $9,000), 20% consistency to start (Lightning rises to 25%, then 30%), and the same early caps ($1,000 / $2,000 / $2,500 / $3,000). Alpha Direct's minimum is $500 against Lightning's $1,000, and it can pay up to 4 times a month; Lightning pays every 5 days. Lightning lists lower at every size ($345 to $796 vs $349 to $859), before discounts (at our Oct 23 check, Alpha's public MYALPHA50 took 50% off Direct).

Values by account size, smallest to largest, from each firm's plan rules in our Oct 2026 data. "Funded" (or "qualified") means the sim-funded stage after you pass.
Alpha bills monthly; Tradeify bills once. Alpha Zero, Standard and Advanced charge each month until you pass (the subscription stops then, and activation is $0); Direct is one-time. Tradeify has been one-time on every plan since 03/31/26, with no activation fee. Both sets of prices below are list. CHAMP's 40% (on file) is worked out under Alpha's, and Tradeify applies CHAMP at checkout. At our Oct 23, 2026 check, Alpha's own public code MYALPHA50 took 50% off Standard, Direct and Advanced (more than CHAMP's 40%) and MYALPHA40 took 40% off Zero, so use whichever gives the lower checkout price.

Alpha Futures: CHAMP is 40% off in our deal data. Tradeify: CHAMP is applied at checkout; the firm doesn't publish a fixed rate. "With CHAMP" rows are our arithmetic on that rate; the checkout price is what counts.
At 50K, one month of Alpha Zero is $83.40 after CHAMP, below Tradeify Growth's $145 list price. By the second month ($166.80), Alpha costs more than Growth's list price. If you fail, Tradeify Growth's resets cost $60 to $229 and Alpha Zero's evaluation resets $79 to $249.
Which pays out faster? Tradeify Select Daily lets you request every day; Tradeify's other plans run on a 5-day cycle. Alpha allows up to 4 withdrawals a month with no assigned dates, each after 5 winning days of $200+ on Zero, Standard and Advanced (Direct uses a profit target instead). Both pay the trader 90%.

"Max per payout" is the most one request can withdraw in the sim-funded stage, by account size. Caps, buffers and minimums change often; confirm in your dashboard before you plan around them.
Tradeify's help center blocked our October check, so its per-payout caps, minimums and buffers come from search-engine excerpts of that help center; its prices, splits, frequency and drawdowns were read on tradeify.co. Confirm in your dashboard.
On Zero, Standard and Advanced, each Alpha withdrawal is up to 50% of profit, and the max loss limit doesn't reset when you withdraw. Tradeify Select Flex also pays out 50% of profit per request, per its help center.
News. Alpha has no news restrictions in any evaluation or on Advanced qualified accounts; on Zero, Standard and Direct qualified accounts, no orders may execute within 2 minutes either side of a red-folder event (you may hold through it). Tradeify's news policy isn't part of our latest audit, so check its help center before trading releases.
Accounts. Alpha: 5 qualified accounts on Zero, Standard (3 if bought before Jul 27, 2026) or Direct, but any active Advanced caps you at 3, and only one individual per household. Tradeify: 5 sim-funded accounts per person and per household, in any mix of Growth, Select and Lightning. Both allow copying trades across your own accounts; Tradeify bars opposing positions and copying between people, and Alpha bars automated, group and reverse trading.
Tradeify trading rules. On funded accounts, at least half of your profit must come from trades held longer than 10 seconds, and you must trade at least once per calendar week.
Alpha suits traders who withdraw less often but in larger amounts. Tradeify suits traders who want daily payouts and one up-front price.
