Which is cheaper, size by size
Velotrade 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 | Velotrade | Cheaper |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25k | $199.99 | $132 code BOTS20 | Velotrade |
| $50k | $299.99 | $244 code BOTS20 | Velotrade |
| $100k | $549.99 | $446.40 code BOTS20 | Velotrade |
What the fee buys, and what it takes back
Put differently, the difference is 0.5 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 $147 at Velotrade.
| Measure | FundedNext | Velotrade |
|---|---|---|
| Fee for a $25k attempt | $199.99 | $132 code BOTS20 |
| Fee per $1,000 of account | $8.00 | $5.28 |
| Profit needed to win the fee back at the headline split | $211 | $147 |
| Account destroyed on a bad day (drawdown in dollars) | $2,500 (10%) | $750 (3%) |
| 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.
The rule that ends most attempts
At $25k there is $1,750 more room at FundedNext ($2,500 against $750), which is 7.0 percentage points of the account.
Getting the money out
FundedNext pays USDT (ERC-20/TRC-20) / USDC (ERC-20) / RiseWorks / Bank transfer, Velotrade pays USDC on Arbitrum / USDT on Arbitrum. Timing is not the same either: Within 24 hours, with a $1,000 penalty if late against First payout 14 days after the first funded trade, then weekly.
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.
