Both firms sell a plan called Flex and a daily-payout plan. FundedNext's Flex pays 95% with no daily loss limit; Lucid's pays 90/10 with an optional one. Here's how the matching plans compare.
FundedNext Futures pays the higher split on Flex (95%) with no daily loss limit and no buffer, but caps each withdrawal at 50% of profit ($1,500 / $2,500 / $4,000 on 50K to 150K) and closes the account after 5 rewards. Every FundedNext futures account uses end-of-day drawdown, news trading is allowed on all of them, and fees are one-time. Rapid Daily has no consistency rule at either stage. Its $380M+ payout total covers all FundedNext programs, not just futures.
Lucid Trading's Flex pays 90/10, makes the DLL optional and pays 50% of profit (up to $1,000 to $3,000) after 5 profit days, for up to 5 payouts before moving you live. LucidDaily pays daily with no per-payout cap above the buffer, where FundedNext Rapid Daily caps each payout at $800 to $2,500. Lucid also covers 25K and 150K on every plan, and its Pro plan passes in a day.
Want the highest split (95%) and no DLL? FundedNext Flex. Want daily payouts with no per-payout cap, or a 25K or 150K account on any plan? Lucid.

FundedNext FlexLucid Trading ProFundedNext Futures sells Flex (50K to 150K), Legacy (25K to 100K) and Rapid in Pro and Daily versions (25K to 100K). Lucid sells Pro, Flex, Daily and Direct at 25K to 150K.
Flex vs Flex
Both check 40% consistency in the evaluation and none funded, and both pay out 50% of profit per withdrawal after 5 qualifying days. FundedNext pays 95%, has no DLL and asks for lower targets ($2,500 / $5,000 / $8,000 vs $3,000 / $6,000 / $9,000) with tighter drawdown ($1,500 / $2,500 / $4,000 vs $2,000 / $3,000 / $4,500). Its cap is lower at 50K ($1,500 vs $2,000) and higher at 150K ($4,000 vs $3,000). FundedNext Flex ends after 5 rewards; Lucid Flex moves you live after up to 5 payouts.
Daily payouts
Rapid Daily passes in a day with no consistency rule at either stage and keeps end-of-day drawdown, but has a DLL ($500 / $1,000 / $1,250) and caps each payout at $800 / $1,200 / $2,500 ($250 minimum); it ends after 5 rewards. LucidDaily's funded drawdown is intraday and its DLL is optional, with no per-payout cap above the buffer ($500 minimum).
1-day passes, 40% funded
Neither checks consistency in the evaluation; both check 40% once funded. Rapid Pro has no DLL (an optional DLL add-on lowers the price), pays every 3 days with $500 of cycle profit, caps each payout at $800 to $2,500 and ends after 5 rewards. Lucid Pro's DLL is optional, it caps payouts at $1,000 to $3,500, and payout 5 puts you in the live review pool.
The rest of the line-up
Legacy is FundedNext's low-target plan (80% split, 25K to 100K); after 30 benchmark days its 50% limit and cap are removed, and it doesn't end after 5 rewards. FundedNext also sells a $50K Direct account with no challenge (20% consistency, $800 to $1,200 per withdrawal, $169.99 offer price), its closest match to Lucid Direct.

FundedNext: CHAMP is applied at checkout; the firm doesn't publish a fixed rate. Lucid Trading: the prices shown already include CHAMP, as seen at checkout on Oct 5, 2026 (Lucid's site blocked our Oct 23 re-check), and we haven't confirmed whether its evaluations renew monthly. The checkout price is what counts.
At 50K, FundedNext Flex is $74.99 at its offer price, against $90.20 for Lucid Flex with CHAMP at our Oct 5 checkout check. FundedNext Rapid is $169.99 at 50K, or $129.99 if you add the optional DLL.
Which pays out faster? Both have a daily plan: FundedNext Rapid Daily and LucidDaily. FundedNext says about 99.99% of payouts are processed within 24 hours, and Rapid Pro pays every 3 days; Lucid sends approved funds within 2 business days. FundedNext rewards are requested at the end of the day, and placing a trade that day removes the transfer option.

"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.
Minimums differ: FundedNext's minimum withdrawal is $250 on Flex, Legacy and Rapid ($800 on the new 50K Direct); Lucid's is $500.
News. FundedNext allows news trading on every futures account. Lucid allows it on Pro, Flex and Direct; on LucidDaily, red-folder news is a hard breach once funded.
Accounts. FundedNext: up to 5 active funded accounts per user and per household, no more than 10 issued per calendar month, and challenges up to $750K of combined allocation. Lucid: up to 10 evaluations and 5 funded accounts per household across every Lucid type, with no more than 10 in total. Both allow copying trades across your own accounts; FundedNext also allows copying to your own accounts at other firms, but not signal services or group trading.
About FundedNext's total. The $380M+ it publishes covers all FundedNext programs, including its non-futures accounts, so it isn't a futures-only figure.
Both sell a Flex plan and a daily plan. FundedNext wins on split and no DLL; Lucid wins on daily-payout caps and size range.
