The cheapest active deal in futures prop trading meets the most flexible rulebook. Apex undercuts on price and payout history; Tradeify wins on no-DLL paths and payout options. Here's exactly how they compare.
Apex Trader Funding is the volume play. With code CHAMP it runs the biggest discount we track — 90% off the evaluation and no activation fee — alongside a one-day pass and up to 20 funded accounts. It's backed by the longest payout record on the site ($300M+ paid, a roughly 4-hour median). The trade-off: Apex keeps a daily loss limit and a 50% consistency rule on the funded account.
Tradeify trades that rock-bottom entry price for flexibility. It rates higher with our readers (4.7 vs 4.4), has moved to one-time payments, and its Select Flex path removes the daily loss limit entirely — with an optional daily-payout route on Select Daily. The catch is a shorter payout history and a slower typical median payout than Apex.
Want the cheapest path to funding and plan to scale accounts? Apex. Want to trade with no daily loss limit and flexible payouts? Tradeify Select.
