Which is cheaper, size by size
Breakout Prop Firm is cheaper at 3 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 | Breakout Prop Firm | Velotrade | Cheaper |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25k | $95 | $132 code BOTS20 | Breakout Prop Firm |
| $50k | $180 | $244 code BOTS20 | Breakout Prop Firm |
| $100k | $330 | $446.40 code BOTS20 | Breakout Prop Firm |
What the fee buys, and what it takes back
Put differently, the difference is 0.4 more of the cheapest evaluation. The fee is also only the entry cost: at the headline split, Breakout Prop Firm has to make $106 of profit before the attempt has paid for itself, and $147 at Velotrade.
| Measure | Breakout Prop Firm | Velotrade |
|---|---|---|
| Fee for a $25k attempt | $95 | $132 code BOTS20 |
| Fee per $1,000 of account | $3.80 | $5.28 |
| Profit needed to win the fee back at the headline split | $106 | $147 |
| Account destroyed on a bad day (drawdown in dollars) | $750 (3%) | $750 (3%) |
| 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.
Getting the money out
Breakout Prop Firm pays USDC (ERC-20), Velotrade pays USDC on Arbitrum / USDT on Arbitrum. Timing is not the same either: On demand, 24/7 against First payout 14 days after the first funded trade, then weekly.
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
- Payout rails are not the same: Breakout Prop Firm pays USDC (ERC-20), Velotrade pays USDC on Arbitrum / USDT on Arbitrum.
- clearing $25k means 9% (1-Step Turbo) in profit at Breakout Prop Firm and 10% (PRO 1-Step) at Velotrade.
- the Velotrade fee is $44.00 per 1% of drawdown at $25k, from $132 with code BOTS20 over a 3% limit (PRO 1-Step); Breakout Prop Firm works out at $31.67 from $95 over a 3% limit (1-Step Turbo).
The decision rule
At $25k, if you routinely risk more than 3% of the account in a session, Velotrade is the one that ends the attempt, not Breakout Prop Firm. If the first attempt is a test rather than a plan, Breakout Prop Firm at $20 costs less to be wrong about.
Which one, and for whom
Choose Breakout Prop Firm if Traders who want a static drawdown and will pay once to upgrade to a 90/10 split.
Choose Velotrade if Traders who want one static rule across crypto, FX and equities, paid in stablecoins.
