Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to reset a prop firm challenge?
Reset fees typically match the original challenge fee, though many firms offer 10-20% discounts on resets. Some firms (like Apex) offer free resets during promotional periods. Always check the current reset policy before purchasing.
Is it worth resetting a prop firm challenge?
Only if you know what went wrong. Resetting without understanding the rule violation that caused the failure is throwing money away. Use Vigil to diagnose the exact rule breach before paying for a reset.
Are there prop firms with free resets?
Some firms offer free resets as a promotional tool. This is typically time-limited. FundedNext and some newer firms have used free-reset promotions. Check the free-retry compare page for current offers.
