Which is cheaper, size by size
FundedNext 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 | Crypto Fund Trader | FundedNext | Cheaper |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25k | $240 | $199.99 | FundedNext |
| $50k | $389 | $299.99 | FundedNext |
| $100k | $660 | $549.99 | FundedNext |
What the fee buys, and what it takes back
Put differently, the difference is 0.2 more of the cheapest evaluation. The fee is also only the entry cost: at the headline split, Crypto Fund Trader has to make $300 of profit before the attempt has paid for itself, and $211 at FundedNext.
| Measure | Crypto Fund Trader | FundedNext |
|---|---|---|
| Fee for a $25k attempt | $240 | $199.99 |
| Fee per $1,000 of account | $9.60 | $8.00 |
| Profit needed to win the fee back at the headline split | $300 | $211 |
| Account destroyed on a bad day (drawdown in dollars) | $2,500 (10%) | $2,500 (10%) |
| 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
Crypto Fund Trader pays BTC / USDT / USDC / Deel, FundedNext pays USDT (ERC-20/TRC-20) / USDC (ERC-20) / RiseWorks / Bank transfer. Timing is not the same either: On demand after the first payout against Within 24 hours, with a $1,000 penalty if late.
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: Crypto Fund Trader verifies identity before the first payout, FundedNext verifies identity before the account activates.
- Payout rails are not the same: Crypto Fund Trader pays BTC / USDT / USDC / Deel, FundedNext pays USDT (ERC-20/TRC-20) / USDC (ERC-20) / RiseWorks / Bank transfer.
- allocation ceiling, Crypto Fund Trader: $300,000; FundedNext: Up to $4M through scaling.
- markets listed, Crypto Fund Trader: 540+ crypto pairs, 39 forex pairs, indices, commodities and stocks; FundedNext: CFDs on FX, indices, metals, energies, stocks and crypto.
The decision rule
If the first attempt is a test rather than a plan, FundedNext at $29.99 with code NOVSTR costs less to be wrong about. If identity documents are the sticking point, note that Crypto Fund Trader verifies identity before the first payout and FundedNext verifies identity before the account activates.
