Ring in each card: PFT Scout Score, 0 to 100A score based on our years of experience in the prop game. It weighs rules, payouts, track record, reputation and transparency.
Positions follow the sort order you pick, they are not a rating. The PFT Scout Score is our own rating, sort by it if you want it; a figure a firm does not publish counts as neutral there, except the founding year, which counts low. No commission ever changes it. “Not stated” means the firm does not publish the figure; in this list it is never shown as zero or as a pass. Entry fee is the list price of the $50k account in the firm’s main program, without discount codes; while a deal is running, the reduced price is shown next to it. Max payout is the cap on the first payout of the $50k account; “No cap” only where the firm says so in writing. Minimum days, payout cycle, account sizes and claimed payouts are on each firm’s page.
Consistency calculator
Check whether your best trading day fits a firm’s consistency rule, and how much more profit you need if it does not. The calculation runs in your browser; nothing you enter is sent or stored.
Your results
One net result per trading day in dollars. Losing days count with a minus sign, for example -250. Empty rows are ignored.

Prop firm comparison: common questions
Where can I compare futures prop firms and find discount codes?
On PFT Prop Scout at profuturestrading.de/prop-firms. It compares 17 futures prop firms side by side: evaluation fee, profit split, profit target, drawdown type, daily loss limit, payout cycle and platforms, each figure read from the firm's own rules with its source and check date. Every firm shows its PFT partner code or link, and the partnership changes neither the order nor the PFT Scout Score. We may earn a commission when you buy with our code.
Is there a prop firm consistency rule calculator?
Yes. The PFT Consistency Rule Calculator at profuturestrading.de/prop-firms/consistency-calculator takes your best day and your total profit, applies a firm's consistency rule or your own percentage, and tells you whether you pass.
How do I compare two futures prop firms head to head?
Open profuturestrading.de/prop-firms/compare. Each comparison puts two firms side by side: evaluation model, fees, drawdown, consistency rule and payouts, built only from each firm's own published rules.
What are good alternatives to Topstep and Apex?
PFT Prop Scout has a page for each: Topstep alternatives lists monthly-billed evaluations with an end-of-day drawdown, Apex alternatives lists evaluations with a one-time fee and an end-of-day drawdown. Both are built from the same data as the full comparison.
How many futures prop firms does PFT Prop Scout compare?
17 futures prop firms. Every figure is read from the firm's own rules, terms or account pages, never from another comparison site. Data last reviewed 2026-10-19, and every entry shows its own check date.
How does PFT Prop Scout rank prop firms?
The list opens sorted by the PFT Scout Score, our own rating built from five axes: Rules, Payouts, Track record, Reputation, Transparency. A figure a firm does not publish is shown as "Not stated", never as zero. You can re-sort by fee, profit split, drawdown and more.
Does a partnership change the ranking?
No. We only list firms we have a partner code or link with, and every row shows it. The partnership changes neither the order nor the PFT Scout Score.
Which futures prop firm has the lowest evaluation fee?
For the $50,000 account at list price, the lowest one-time fee is $39 at Top One Futures (Elite Access, plus a $189 activation fee after you pass), and the lowest monthly fee is $59 at BluSky (Launch, plus a $99 activation fee after you pass). Fees change, so check the firm's page before you buy.
Which futures prop firms offer instant funding?
14 of the firms we compare sell an instant-funding programme for the $50,000 account: FundedNext Futures, DayTraders.com, Top One Futures, For Traders, Savius, Atlas Funded Futures, Blue Guardian Futures, AquaFunded Futures, Bulenox, Alpha Futures, BluSky, Elite Trader Funding, IQ Capital, The Trading Pit.
Which futures prop firms have no activation fee?
12 firms list a $0 activation fee on at least one evaluation programme for the $50,000 account: Alpha Futures, BluSky, Bulenox, DayTraders.com, FundedNext Futures, Blue Guardian Futures, Atlas Funded Futures, Savius, Top One Futures, The Trading Pit, AquaFunded Futures, For Traders. A firm that does not state its activation fee is not counted as free.
Do the prices on PFT Prop Scout include a discount code?
No. Fees are list prices without a code. Each firm's page shows the current PFT code where the firm has confirmed one.
Is the prop firm comparison financial advice?
No. It describes published terms and is not a recommendation to trade with any firm. Prop firm terms change often, so read the current rules on the firm's own site before you pay for an evaluation.
Passing is the easy part
The account you keep is the one where the rules and your actual behaviour line up. PFT EdgeBook journals every fill from ATAS, NinjaTrader and Sierra Chart so you can see which one you break first.
Nothing here is financial advice or a recommendation to trade with any firm. Prop firm terms change often. Always read the current rules on the provider’s own site before you pay for an evaluation.
