Best Prop Firms 2026
Ranked by our own editorial score. We earn a commission on some sign-ups, which does not affect a firm's score — how we rate.
A prop firm funds a trader’s account in exchange for passing an evaluation and trading inside a fixed set of risk rules. The list below ranks every prop firm we have reviewed by our editorial score, which weighs payout track record, how clearly the rules are written, platform choice and the cost of an evaluation.
Each entry links to the full review, where that firm’s current rules, drawdown type and pricing are set out. Scores follow our published rating methodology and are revised whenever a firm changes its terms. We earn a commission on some sign-ups made through this page; that does not affect how a firm is scored.

Smaller prop firms we also review
The ten above are the firms most traders shortlist. Beyond them we review a long tail, and several are worth knowing about for one specific reason rather than overall.
Advertising the highest splits. FundedFirm advertises up to 100% on funded accounts, though its published figures are not independently verified. Vanadium Funding advertised the same 100% figure but has since closed, so treat its terms as historical. Funded Elite pays up to 95% with custom challenges from around $129.
Cheapest way in. The Concept Trading, an Australian firm with a static drawdown and weekly payouts, starts at around $65. WFunded opens a $5,000 account from about $70 across its SkillCheck Standard and Expedited routes.
No deadline on the evaluation. Funding Frontier runs two and three-step evaluations with unlimited time and no profit target once funded, paying 80/20 on MT4 and MT5. With no clock and no target, the drawdown limits are the thing to read first.
Away from MetaTrader. FX2 Funding funds up to $200,000 on cTrader and DXTrade with an 85% split on a 14-day payout cycle. C7 Funding runs $10,000 to $200,000 accounts at an 80-90% split with payouts on demand, and Rocket 21 uses a straightforward evaluation-to-funded model on MT4.
Price and split are only half the contract. The rules that end funded accounts counts which restrictions all 94 firms we review actually publish, and which one almost none of them mention.
Before paying for any evaluation, it is worth checking our prop firm status tracker, which lists every firm we know to have closed, paused trading or lost a licence, with dates and evidence.
