The rest of the ladder at that size: Funded Trader Markets: Instant Standard at $97 (5% of room) and 2 Step Plus at $98 (10% of room); Propr: Pro 1-Step at $185 (5% of room), Classic 2-Step at $250 (8% of room) and Classic 1-Step at $275 (6% of room).
Which is cheaper, size by size
Funded Trader Markets 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 | Funded Trader Markets | Propr | Cheaper |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25k | $59 | $125 | Funded Trader Markets |
| $50k | $120 | $245 | Funded Trader Markets |
| $100k | $249 | $450 | Funded Trader Markets |
What the fee buys, and what it takes back
Put differently, the difference is 1.1 more of the cheapest evaluation. The fee is also only the entry cost: at the headline split, Funded Trader Markets has to make $66 of profit before the attempt has paid for itself, and $156 at Propr.
| Measure | Funded Trader Markets | Propr |
|---|---|---|
| Fee for a $25k attempt | $59 | $125 |
| Fee per $1,000 of account | $2.36 | $5.00 |
| Profit needed to win the fee back at the headline split | $66 | $156 |
| 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
Propr measures drawdown from a fixed floor, while Funded Trader Markets 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 Funded Trader Markets ($1,500 against $750), which is 3.0 percentage points of the account.
Getting the money out
Funded Trader Markets pays USDC / USDT / BTC / ETH / SOL / Rise, Propr pays USDC on-chain. Timing is not the same either: 24-hour guarantee, average around 20 minutes against Within 24 hours, site reports an 8m 16s median.
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
- Funded Trader Markets advertises the higher split ceiling (Up to 90%).
- Payout rails are not the same: Funded Trader Markets pays USDC / USDT / BTC / ETH / SOL / Rise, Propr pays USDC on-chain.
- clearing $25k means 10% (1 Step Nitro) in profit at Funded Trader Markets and 9% (Turbo 1-Step) at Propr.
The decision rule
At $25k, if you routinely risk more than 8% of the account in a session, Propr is the one that ends the attempt, not Funded Trader Markets. If the first attempt is a test rather than a plan, Funded Trader Markets at $20 costs less to be wrong about.
Which one, and for whom
