Each drawdown above is the rule of the plan its own $25k fee buys. The rest of the ladder at that size: FundedNext: Stellar Lite at $139.99 (8% of room) and Stellar 1-Step at $219.99 (6% of room); HyroTrader: Hyro Core at $99 (5% of room), One-Step at $299 (8% of room) and Hyro Instant at $699 (5% of room).
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 | FundedNext | HyroTrader | Cheaper |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25k | $199.99 | $249 | FundedNext |
| $50k | $299.99 | $379 | FundedNext |
| $100k | $549.99 | $579 | 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, FundedNext has to make $211 of profit before the attempt has paid for itself, and $277 at HyroTrader.
| Measure | FundedNext | HyroTrader |
|---|---|---|
| Fee for a $25k attempt | $199.99 | $249 |
| Fee per $1,000 of account | $8.00 | $9.96 |
| Profit needed to win the fee back at the headline split | $211 | $277 |
| 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
FundedNext pays USDT (ERC-20/TRC-20) / USDC (ERC-20) / RiseWorks / Bank transfer, HyroTrader pays USDT / USDC. Timing is not the same either: Within 24 hours, with a $1,000 penalty if late against Within 24 hours.
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.
