Cheapest futures firm and cheapest with one payment
Funded Futures Family S2F Accelerate, $50K
Funded Futures Family's S2F Accelerate skips the test entirely and is marked down from $499 to $50. The $2,000 drawdown trails intraday, following your best balance, and never stops trailing, so a winning trade that turns around still costs you room. Between payouts you need another $1,500 of profit.

Good to know: 20% consistency rule on payouts, so one big day can hold up a withdrawal. Each payout capped at $500.
Cheapest forex firm
RZR Funded Endurance, $50K
RZR Funded started in 2023, so its record is shorter than most firms here. On Endurance the $4,000 max loss is static and never moves up, which leaves room to recover from a bad start. You keep 80% of the profit; 95% is a paid add-on. Payouts come every 14 days, or every 7 if you pay for the add-on.

Lowest price at checkout
Funded Futures Family Velocity, $50K
Funded Futures Family's Velocity is marked down from $265 to $26 for the first month; after that it renews every month until you pass. Its 40% consistency rule in the test means no single day may bring more than 40% of your profit.

Three ways a cheap plan gets expensive
- Monthly billing. The fee repeats until you pass. A plan at half the price of a one-time plan costs more by the third month.
- Activation fees. They are charged when you pass, so they never show on the checkout page. 15 of the 22 futures firms above sell their cheapest plan without one.
- Big discounts on the test only. A 90% discount usually covers the test fee, not the activation fee, which then makes up most of what you pay.
How we picked
We read every plan on each firm's own website and checkout. The real cost to get funded adds the checkout price, any activation fee, a second month for monthly plans, and the retries an average attempt needs, from 3,000 simulated runs of each plan's rules. A retry costs the cheaper of a reset or a new purchase. Fees taken from your first payout are not counted, since you only pay them once you earn.
Every plan at every size is in the plan comparison, today's discounts are on the offers page, and the real cost calculator lets you change the assumptions.
