Prop Firm Payouts Compared
Side-by-side comparison of payout terms for 29 prop trading firms. Compare profit split percentages, payout frequency, processing speed, and Vigil trust scores to find the best payout terms for your trading. Verify the live payout policy before buying because firms can change withdrawal windows and split tiers.
How to use this table
- Start with payout frequency and trust score together. A fast withdrawal schedule is less meaningful if the firm has weaker payout reliability.
- Use the cheapest fee as a secondary filter, not the main verdict. The cheapest funded path is still the one you can survive long enough to withdraw from.
What this page does not tell you
- This page does not replace the rulebook. Drawdown model, holding restrictions, and funded-phase conditions still decide whether you ever reach the payout window.
- Apex Trader Funding may look attractive on payout speed, but traders still need to validate the rest of the challenge economics before treating it as a better deal.
