Which is cheaper, size by size
Upscale is cheaper at 2 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 | FX2 Funding | Upscale | Cheaper |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25k | $235 | $249 | FX2 Funding |
| $50k | $465 | $399 | Upscale |
| $100k | $925 | $799 | Upscale |
What the fee buys, and what it takes back
Spent on the other firm, that gap buys 0.1 further attempts. The fee is also only the entry cost: at the headline split, FX2 Funding has to make $247 of profit before the attempt has paid for itself, and $277 at Upscale.
| Measure | FX2 Funding | Upscale |
|---|---|---|
| Fee for a $25k attempt | $235 | $249 |
| Fee per $1,000 of account | $9.40 | $9.96 |
| Profit needed to win the fee back at the headline split | $247 | $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
FX2 Funding pays Crypto to wallet / Rise bank transfer, Upscale pays USDT (TON) / USDT (Base) / USDT (BSC). Timing is not the same either: 48 hours, average 8 hours against Within 48 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.
Where they actually differ
- Verification differs: FX2 Funding verifies identity before the account activates, Upscale verifies identity before the first payout.
- Payout rails are not the same: FX2 Funding pays Crypto to wallet / Rise bank transfer, Upscale pays USDT (TON) / USDT (Base) / USDT (BSC).
- clearing $25k means 8% then 5% (2-Step) in profit at FX2 Funding and 5% then 8% (Basic) at Upscale.
- allocation ceiling, FX2 Funding: $300,000; Upscale: $400,000 (Basic and Accelerated combined); $100,000 separate for Turbo.
The decision rule
If the first attempt is a test rather than a plan, FX2 Funding at $50 costs less to be wrong about. If identity documents are the sticking point, note that FX2 Funding verifies identity before the account activates and Upscale verifies identity before the first payout.
