PFT Prop Scout

Cheapest futures prop firms

12 firms with a one-time evaluation fee, 6 that bill monthly. The lowest one-time fee for a $50,000 account is $39 at Top One Futures. Cheap is only half the story: the lists show the activation fee and the drawdown next to each price.

Figures for the $50,000 account at list price, read from each firm’s own pages. Data last reviewed 2026-10-19. Prices change, so check the firm’s page before you buy.

How this list is built

Every firm's lowest-priced evaluation programme for the $50,000 account at list price (no discount code). Instant-funding programmes are left out because they have no evaluation. One-time and monthly fees are ranked in separate lists, because $100 once and $100 a month are not the same price. Euro prices are listed on their own and not converted.

  • Evaluation fee, $50K account

More ways to filter

Every firm in the ranked lists on this page is a PFT Prop Scout partner: if you buy through our link or code we may earn a commission, and that commission changes neither the order nor the PFT Scout Score (see how we compare and the affiliate disclosure). Nothing here is financial advice or a recommendation to trade with any firm. Prop firm terms change often; read the current rules on the firm’s own site before you pay for an evaluation.
