Cheapest Prop Firm Challenges (2026)
Prop firms ranked by the lowest discounted entry price for an evaluation account (code FUNDIFY applied). The Fundify Score is shown so cheapest never means lowest quality blindly.
Last updated: August 17, 2026 · How the Fundify Score works
Bottom line
The cheapest prop firm challenge in 2026 is Apex Trader Funding, with a discounted evaluation from $25 using code FUNDIFY (Fundify Score 69/100). Cheapest isn’t automatically best — the Fundify Score next to each price flags firms where a low fee comes with weak rules or payouts, so weigh both before buying.

Cheap entry fee vs. cheap true cost
The headline evaluation price is only part of the cost. Add the activation fee charged on the funded account, the likelihood you’ll need a reset or second attempt, and any platform/data fees. A $99 challenge with a $150 activation fee can cost more than a $129 challenge with none.
This list sorts by the lowest discounted entry price so you can find the cheapest way in, but the Fundify Score column is there to stop “cheapest” from meaning “worst value.” For the deepest percentage discounts specifically, see the biggest-discounts list linked below.
Who should buy the cheapest challenge
A low-cost challenge is ideal if you’re testing a new firm or strategy and want to limit downside on a likely-failed first attempt. If you’re confident and consistent, a slightly pricier firm with a higher profit split and faster payouts often wins over the full funded lifecycle.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the cheapest prop firm challenge?
- The lowest discounted evaluation price (with code FUNDIFY) and the firm offering it are shown at the top of the table on this page, updated daily. The Fundify Score is listed alongside so you can judge quality, not just price.
- Does a cheaper challenge mean lower quality?
- Not necessarily — but it can. A low fee paired with a low Fundify Score often signals strict rules or unreliable payouts. Compare the price and the score together before buying.
- What hidden costs should I check?
- Activation fees on the funded account, reset/retry fees, and platform or market-data fees. Budget roughly 1.5–2× the headline price to cover a likely reset on the evaluation path.
- How do I get the lowest price?
- Use code FUNDIFY at checkout to apply the firm’s current public discount at no extra cost. Prices on this page refresh daily so the ranking reflects today’s live deals.
How Fundify ranks these firms
This ranking is ordered by the Fundify Score — a transparent, data-driven 0–100 rating built from each firm’s true all-in cost, payout reliability, drawdown fairness and trust signals. The exact inputs and weights are published in full on the methodology page; placement cannot be bought.
Firm data is captured original-source-first from each firm’s official website, with Trustpilot used for aggregate review signals, and refreshed daily — so the prices and discounts above stay current within 24 hours. Every customer-facing number is reviewed before it goes live.
Editorial independence & affiliate disclosure. Fundify earns a commission when a trader signs up using code FUNDIFY, which passes through the firm’s own currently-running public discount at no extra cost to you. Affiliate relationships do not influence the Fundify Score or a firm’s position — read more on our about page.
