|---|---|---|
| Cheapest evaluation | $39 | $49 |
| Size at that price | $5,000 | $5,000 |
| 25k fee | $124 | $179 |
| Profit split | 80% | 80% (90% with add-on) |
| Drawdown (25k) | 3%, 3% daily (1-Step Express) | 6% max total, 4% daily (Single Phase) |
| Profit target (25k) | 9% (1-Step Express) | 10% (Single Phase) |
| KYC | Before payout | Before payout |
| Payout rail | USDT | Crypto (USDT, BTC and other coins) / International bank transfer |
| Payout speed | Within 24 hours of the profit split day | 14-day cycle, 24-48h processing |
| Leverage | 1:100 | 1:50 forex / 1:10 indices / 1:10 commodities / 1:2 crypto / 1:5 stocks |
| Allocation ceiling | $150,000 USDT | $600,000 |
| Instruments | 100+ crypto pairs plus 20 TradFi pairs, both tradable on the challenge accounts; traditional pairs carry a 5-day holding limit | Forex, indices, commodities, stocks and crypto CFDs (BTCUSD, ETHUSD, SOLUSD, XRPUSD on the published instrument list); crypto commission 0.01% of notional |
Each drawdown above is the rule of the plan its own $25k fee buys. The rest of the ladder at that size: Bitfunded: 2-Step at $249 (10% of room) and 1-Step at $299 (6% of room); DNA Funded: Two Phase Evaluation at $159 (8% of room), Rapid 10-Day Challenge at $189 (5% of room) and Instant Funding at $559 (4% of room).
Which is cheaper, size by size
DNA Funded is cheaper at 2 of the 3 sizes where both publish a price. Comparing the entry tier alone hides that: fee ladders do not scale at the same rate, so the cheaper start can become the dearer account.
| Account size | Bitfunded | DNA Funded | Cheaper |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25k | $124 | $179 | Bitfunded |
| $50k | $399 | $319 | DNA Funded |
| $100k | $799 | $619 | DNA Funded |
What the fee buys, and what it takes back
The $55 gap is 0.4 cheap attempts at the DNA Funded fee. The fee is also only the entry cost: at the headline split, Bitfunded has to make $155 of profit before the attempt has paid for itself, and $199 at DNA Funded.
| Measure | Bitfunded | DNA Funded |
|---|---|---|
| Fee for a $25k attempt | $124 | $179 |
| Fee per $1,000 of account | $4.96 | $7.16 |
| Profit needed to win the fee back at the headline split | $155 | $199 |
| Account destroyed on a bad day (drawdown in dollars) | $750 (3%) | $1,500 (6%) |
| Drawdown type | Static | Static |
Cost per $1,000, the break-even profit and the cost of 1% of drawdown are our arithmetic from each firm's published fee, split and limit; each drawdown figure is the firm's own percentage for the plan that fee buys, applied to a $25,000 balance.
The rule that ends most attempts
At $25k there is $750 more room at DNA Funded ($1,500 against $750), which is 3.0 percentage points of the account.
Getting the money out
Bitfunded pays USDT, DNA Funded pays Crypto (USDT, BTC and other coins) / International bank transfer. Timing is not the same either: Within 24 hours of the profit split day against 14-day cycle, 24-48h processing.
Worth checking against your own cash-flow: a fast rail that pays into an account you then have to move is not the same as one that lands where you spend it.
Where they actually differ
- DNA Funded advertises the higher split ceiling (80% (90% with add-on)).
- Payout rails are not the same: Bitfunded pays USDT, DNA Funded pays Crypto (USDT, BTC and other coins) / International bank transfer.
- Bitfunded wants 9% (1-Step Express) of profit at $25k before a payout, DNA Funded 10% (1 Phase Evaluation).
- how far each one scales, Bitfunded: $150,000 USDT; DNA Funded: $600,000.
The decision rule
At $25k, if you routinely risk more than 8% of the account in a session, DNA Funded is the one that ends the attempt, not Bitfunded. If the first attempt is a test rather than a plan, Bitfunded at $39 costs less to be wrong about.
Which one, and for whom
Choose Bitfunded if Traders who mostly trade coins but want a few traditional pairs on the same account, and who value coin coverage over leverage
Choose DNA Funded if Cost-sensitive traders who want a straightforward two-phase or instant CFD challenge and can trade on TradeLocker only.
