About FundedKings

Independent prop firm research, built to save traders money.

We compare funded trading programs on the details that decide whether you pass and get paid, and we track down real discounts so the challenge costs less.

Our mission

Prop firms change prices, drawdown rules and payout terms constantly, and the fine print is where most traders lose their fee. FundedKings exists to put those rules side by side in plain English, so you can choose a challenge that fits how you actually trade and pay as little as possible for it.

How we research

Every price, profit target, loss limit and payout rule on this site comes from the firm's own website, help center or official terms. We do not copy numbers from other review sites.

  • Official sources only. Each challenge in our rules database links to the page we checked.
  • "Last verified" dates. Firm profiles and challenge rows show when we last confirmed the details, so you can see how fresh they are.
  • Drafts, not guesses. If we can't verify a firm's rules from an official source, we keep it unpublished until we can. Where official pages contradict each other, we say so.
  • Always double-check. Firms update terms without notice. Confirm the current rules on the firm's site before you buy.

How we make money

FundedKings is free to use. We earn money in three ways:

  • Affiliate commissions. Some links to prop firms are tracked. If you buy a challenge through them, the firm may pay us a commission at no extra cost to you.
  • Advertising. We sell clearly labelled ad placements.
  • Sponsorships. Firms can sponsor placements, newsletter issues or guides. Sponsored content is always labelled "Sponsored".

How our ratings work

Our scores out of 5 are editorial. Partners cannot buy a rating or a higher rank, and we rate firms we have no commercial relationship with. We score each firm on:

  • Rule fairness: realistic targets, drawdown type (static vs trailing), consistency rules and restrictions on news or holding.
  • Pricing: the fee per dollar of account size, refunds, activation fees and recurring charges.
  • Payout reliability and speed: how often and how quickly traders can withdraw, and any caps.
  • Platform choice: supported platforms, instruments and automation rules.
  • Transparency: how clearly and consistently the firm publishes its rules.

A note on risk

Prop firm evaluations use simulated capital, and most traders do not pass. A discount lowers what you pay, not the risk of losing it. Nothing on FundedKings is financial advice.
