Which is cheaper, size by size
MyFundedPerps is cheaper at 3 of the 5 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 | E8Markets | MyFundedPerps | Cheaper |
|---|---|---|---|
| $5k | $16 code E8 | $36 code ELITE | E8Markets |
| $10k | not sold | $30 code ELITE | - |
| $25k | $132 code E8 | $75 code ELITE | MyFundedPerps |
| $50k | $202 code E8 | $142 code ELITE | MyFundedPerps |
| $100k | $342 code E8 | $270 code ELITE | MyFundedPerps |
What the fee buys, and what it takes back
Spent on the other firm, that gap buys 0.8 further attempts. The fee is also only the entry cost: at the headline split, E8Markets has to make $147 of profit before the attempt has paid for itself, and $83 at MyFundedPerps.
| Measure | E8Markets | MyFundedPerps |
|---|---|---|
| Fee for a $25k attempt | $132 code E8 | $75 code ELITE |
| Fee per $1,000 of account | $5.28 | $3.00 |
| Profit needed to win the fee back at the headline split | $147 | $83 |
| Account destroyed on a bad day (drawdown in dollars) | $1,500 (6%) | $750 (3%) |
| Drawdown type | Trailing | 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
MyFundedPerps measures drawdown from a fixed floor, while E8Markets trails it - so a profitable run can leave the second account closer to its line than the balance suggests. At $25k there is $750 more room at E8Markets ($1,500 against $750), which is 3.0 percentage points of the account.
Getting the money out
E8Markets pays Rise Works / WorkMarket / Aeropay, MyFundedPerps pays Rise (cash) / Store credit. Timing is not the same either: On-demand; E8 One first payout from day 3 of the performance stage, then any time; E8 Pro daily against On request once funded: Select, Prime and Signature one request per New York calendar day, Elite at any time. Every request is reviewed by hand and no processing time is published..
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: E8Markets pays Rise Works / WorkMarket / Aeropay, MyFundedPerps pays Rise (cash) / Store credit.
- divide each fee by the limit that fee is tested against and E8Markets costs $22.00 per point of drawdown, MyFundedPerps $25.00: $132 with code E8 over a 6% limit (E8 One) against $75 with code ELITE over a 3% limit (Select).
The decision rule
At $25k, if you routinely risk more than 6% of the account in a session, MyFundedPerps is the one that ends the attempt, not E8Markets. If the first attempt is a test rather than a plan, E8Markets at $16 with code E8 costs less to be wrong about.
Which one, and for whom
Choose E8Markets if Traders who want a single-phase challenge at a low fee and intend to trade crypto perpetuals alongside forex, and who are comfortable with a Rise/WorkMarket payout account.
Choose MyFundedPerps if Perps traders who want one phase, a fixed loss floor and a payout request window measured in days rather than weeks.
