5 firms, 247 plans, ranked November 2026. A 2-step evaluation has two profit targets in sequence, typically 8 to 10% then 5%, before the funded account opens.
As of November 12, 2026, 5 of the 86 prop firms PropTested tracks qualify. The best value is Carrot Funding 2-Phase ($10K) at $28 to start, an estimated $137 until funded. Two phases take longer, but each phase is usually gentler than a 1-step target and the plans are often cheaper for the same account size.
