Data checked October 13, 2026

## How the list is built.

Firms ranked by the price of their cheapest account that pays a profit split, lowest first.

When a firm does not publish a value, the board says “not stated”. It is never rounded to zero, never guessed, and an unknown value never ranks first when you sort.

## What it does not tell you.

A monthly price and a one-time price are not the same thing: if you need two months to pass, a $50 subscription costs $100. Activation fees at the funded stage and resets come on top. And the cheapest account is often the smallest, with the tightest drawdown.

### How is this list ranked?

Firms ranked by the price of their cheapest account that pays a profit split, lowest first. The data comes from the fundedyield database and is refreshed every 6 hours. A value a firm does not publish never ranks first.

### Do prop firms pay to appear on this list?

No. The order comes from the data alone. 4 of these 14 firms have an affiliate program with fillprint: their links are marked “Affiliate link” and carry rel="sponsored", and that never moves them up the list.

Futures trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. fillprint is an independent publication, not a broker or a prop firm.

Some links are affiliate links: if you sign up through them, the firm or DeepCharts pays us a commission, at no extra cost to you, and often with a discount for you. Affiliate links are marked and carry rel="sponsored". Being an affiliate never moves a firm up the board. Firms without a program stay listed, marked “no affiliation”.
