Shortlist
The cheapest
way in.
The entry price, firm by firm: the cheapest account that pays a profit split. Watch the billing: a monthly fee keeps running until you pass.
In short Phidias Propfirm is the cheapest way in today: $44 one-time, 25K. Then Topstep ($49 per month, 50K) and Elite Trader Funding ($57 one-time, 10K). 14 of the 14 futures firms on the board qualify. Data of October 13, 2026.

. The board shows this account: the cheapest whose price is known, among those that pay a split.
How the list
is built.
Firms ranked by the price of their cheapest account that pays a profit split, lowest first.
When a firm does not publish a value, the board says “not stated”. It is never rounded to zero, never guessed, and an unknown value never ranks first when you sort.
Some links are affiliate links: if you sign up through them, the firm or DeepCharts pays us a commission, at no extra cost to you, and often with a discount for you. Affiliate links are marked and carry rel="sponsored". Being an affiliate never moves a firm up the board. Firms without a program stay listed, marked “no affiliation”.
Open the full boardWhat it does
not tell you.
A monthly price and a one-time price are not the same thing: if you need two months to pass, a $50 subscription costs $100. Activation fees at the funded stage and resets come on top. And the cheapest account is often the smallest, with the tightest drawdown.

How is this list ranked?
Firms ranked by the price of their cheapest account that pays a profit split, lowest first. The data comes from the fundedyield database and is refreshed every 6 hours. A value a firm does not publish never ranks first.
Do prop firms pay to appear on this list?
No. The order comes from the data alone. 4 of these 14 firms have an affiliate program with fillprint: their links are marked “Affiliate link” and carry rel="sponsored", and that never moves them up the list.
