Which is cheaper, size by size
Fundedbit 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 | DNA Funded | Fundedbit | Cheaper |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25k | $179 | $153 | Fundedbit |
| $50k | $319 | $314 | Fundedbit |
| $100k | $619 | $475 | Fundedbit |
What the fee buys, and what it takes back
The $26 gap is 0.2 cheap attempts at the DNA Funded fee. The fee is also only the entry cost: at the headline split, DNA Funded has to make $199 of profit before the attempt has paid for itself, and $191 at Fundedbit.
| Measure | DNA Funded | Fundedbit |
|---|---|---|
| Fee for a $25k attempt | $179 | $153 |
| Fee per $1,000 of account | $7.16 | $6.12 |
| Profit needed to win the fee back at the headline split | $199 | $191 |
| Account destroyed on a bad day (drawdown in dollars) | $1,500 (6%) | $1,500 (6%) |
| Drawdown type | Static | Trailing |
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
DNA Funded measures drawdown from a fixed floor, while Fundedbit trails it - so a profitable run can leave the second account closer to its line than the balance suggests.
Getting the money out
DNA Funded pays Crypto (USDT, BTC and other coins) / International bank transfer, Fundedbit pays Crypto payouts (firm's zero-denial policy). Timing is not the same either: 14-day cycle, 24-48h processing against After the profit split day, on request.
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)).
- Verification differs: DNA Funded verifies identity before the first payout, Fundedbit verifies identity before the account activates.
- Payout rails are not the same: DNA Funded pays Crypto (USDT, BTC and other coins) / International bank transfer, Fundedbit pays Crypto payouts (firm's zero-denial policy).
- how far each one scales, DNA Funded: $600,000; Fundedbit: $100,000 per account.
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 Fundedbit. If the first attempt is a test rather than a plan, Fundedbit at $39 costs less to be wrong about. If identity documents are the sticking point, note that DNA Funded verifies identity before the first payout and Fundedbit verifies identity before the account activates.
