Which is cheaper, size by size
HyroTrader 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 | HyroTrader | Cheaper |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25k | $124 | $249 | Bitfunded |
| $50k | $399 | $379 | HyroTrader |
| $100k | $799 | $579 | HyroTrader |
What the fee buys, and what it takes back
The $125 gap is 1.0 cheap attempts at the HyroTrader 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 $277 at HyroTrader.
| Measure | Bitfunded | HyroTrader |
|---|---|---|
| Fee for a $25k attempt | $124 | $249 |
| Fee per $1,000 of account | $4.96 | $9.96 |
| Profit needed to win the fee back at the headline split | $155 | $277 |
| Account destroyed on a bad day (drawdown in dollars) | $750 (3%) | $2,500 (10%) |
| Drawdown type | unstated | unstated |
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 $1,750 more room at HyroTrader ($2,500 against $750), which is 7.0 percentage points of the account.
Getting the money out
Bitfunded pays USDT, HyroTrader pays USDT / USDC. Timing is not the same either: Within 24 hours of the profit split day against Within 24 hours.
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
- Verification differs: Bitfunded verifies identity before the first payout, HyroTrader verifies identity before the account activates.
- Payout rails are not the same: Bitfunded pays USDT, HyroTrader pays USDT / USDC.
- Bitfunded wants 9% (1-Step Express) of profit at $25k before a payout, HyroTrader 10% then 5% (2-Step).
- allocation ceiling, Bitfunded: $150,000 USDT; HyroTrader: $200,000.
The decision rule
If the first attempt is a test rather than a plan, HyroTrader at $19 costs less to be wrong about. If identity documents are the sticking point, note that Bitfunded verifies identity before the first payout and HyroTrader verifies identity before the account activates.
