1-Step Prop Firm Challenges

86 firms, 2781 plans, ranked November 2026. A 1-step evaluation has a single profit target to hit before you are funded, instead of two phases in a row.

As of November 12, 2026, 86 of the 86 prop firms PropTested tracks qualify. The best value is MyFundedPerps Select ($10K) at $30 to start, an estimated $143 until funded. One target means fewer days and one set of rules to keep, but the single phase is often stricter (lower drawdown or a consistency rule) than phase one of a 2-step.

Every qualifying firm, best plan first

Questions traders ask

Which 1-step plan is the cheapest to start?

HyroTrader Hyro Core at $9 for a $2.5K account, checked November 12, 2026. Cheapest to start is not cheapest to get funded: the table's "cost to funded" column counts resets and fees against the simulated pass rate.

Which firm in this list has the best Trustpilot score?

My Funded Futures, with 4.9 of 5 from 22,692 reviews, among firms with at least 100 reviews.

What does 1-step, 2-step, instant mean?

An evaluation is a test you pay for. 1-step has one target, 2-step has two in a row, and instant skips the test, usually for a higher price and tighter terms. Read the full explainer: 1-step, 2-step and instant accounts.

How does PropTested rank these plans?

Each plan is scored out of 100 the same way whichever firm sells it: 45% cost until funded (the plan's own rules simulated 3,000 times for a trader with no edge), 35% the firm's record and 20% payout terms. Commission never enters the score. The method is published on the methodology page.
