Why this matters
A lower evaluation fee means less money at risk before you’re funded — and more attempts on the same budget. It’s the easiest cost to compare, but weigh it against drawdown type and split: a cheap eval with an intraday trailing drawdown can cost more in blown accounts than it saves.

FAQ
What is the cheapest prop firm?
Topstep has the lowest evaluation fee in our catalog, starting from $49. Promotions frequently discount evals further — open the live comparison for today’s real price and any active code.
What is the easiest prop firm drawdown to manage?
Static (fixed) drawdown is easiest — the floor never moves, so banked profit is never at risk. End-of-day trailing is next; intraday trailing (used by firms like Apex) is the hardest because it trails your peak equity including open profit.
Which prop firm has no consistency rule?
Several plans in our catalog have no consistency rule, meaning one strong day won’t block your pass or payout. Use the table to compare firms by their consistency rule, then open the live comparison for plan-level detail.
