How the fit score works
The fit score is a weighted comparison signal built from the factors most traders care about first: total cost, risk structure, payout economics, and rule friction. In practice, that includes inputs like cost to funding, profit-to-drawdown efficiency, payout split, activation fees, daily loss limits, and consistency rules.
The fit score is relative, not absolute. It changes based on the firms currently visible in the table, the filters you apply, and the fit inputs you select. Different account types can also be handled differently so evaluations, direct offers, and firm listings are not forced into the same formula when that would create a misleading comparison.
We do not publish the exact scoring recipe, internal weights, or anti-gaming adjustments. That is intentional. The methodology should stay useful for traders rather than become something firms can optimize around. What we do disclose is the decision framework: what categories matter, what the fit score is trying to reward, and what it cannot tell you on its own.
How to use it correctly
The table is sorted by Cost to Funding by default (Account Price + Activation Fee − Discount), so the most affordable options surface first.
Use the fit score to narrow the field, not to outsource judgment.
Start with the account type and size you actually want, then compare the underlying rules line by line.
Pay particular attention to drawdown structure, payout requirements, and any rule that could change your risk profile after passing.
Before buying any challenge or funded account, verify the firm’s latest terms directly on its own site.
Disclosure and limits
Prop firm terms can change quickly. We aim to keep data current, but pricing, payout policies, and rule details may change without notice. The firm's own website should always be treated as the final source of truth before you make a decision.
A fit score or placement on this site is not financial advice, legal advice, or a recommendation to trade with any specific firm. It is an informational comparison layer designed to help you evaluate options more efficiently.
If affiliate or monetized links are used on the site, they should be treated as commercial links. They should not determine whether a firm is included or how its fit score is calculated.
