Apex Trader Funding vs Tradeify

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.

The bottom line

The short version.

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.

Frequently asked

Apex vs Tradeify — quick answers.

Is Apex Trader Funding cheaper than Tradeify? +
With code CHAMP, Apex usually has the lower entry cost — 90% off the evaluation plus no activation fee, the biggest active discount we track. Tradeify uses one-time payments rather than a rebilling subscription, so its true cost can be competitive over a long evaluation, but Apex is typically cheaper to start. See the live deals page.
Which has no daily loss limit, Apex or Tradeify? +
Tradeify's Select Flex path removes the daily loss limit entirely. Apex keeps a daily loss limit on its accounts. If trading without a DLL is your priority, Tradeify Select Flex is the better fit — more on this in the beginner's guide.
Which prop firm pays out faster? +
Apex has the faster median payout in our tracking (around 4 hours) and a far larger total paid out ($300M+), reflecting a longer track record. Tradeify offers an optional daily-payout path on Select but has a shorter payout history. Compare the data on the payouts tracker.
Can I use code CHAMP on both? +
