Pros and cons
Alpha Capital Group
Pros
- The funded split of 80% to 90% keeps the larger share of the account's profit with the trader, and payouts are Bi-weekly or on-demand so the money is not stuck on a long wait.
- A 1 step evaluation means a single paid phase sits between you and the funded account, so an unsuccessful attempt stays cheap.
- Account sizes run $5,000 to $200,000 simulated, so a trader can pick the scale of account that matches their own risk appetite.
Cons
- The split of 80% to 90% leaves part of the profit with the firm, where Apex Trader Funding shares 100%.
- The daily loss limit of 3% to 5% can end a session before the total drawdown allowance of 4% to 10% has been used, so sizing to the overall figure alone is a mistake.
- Support runs on email, chat and help centre, with no phone line among them, which leaves fewer routes when a payout needs chasing.
Earn2Trade
Pros
- A 1 step evaluation shortens the route to a funded account.
- Payouts are made weekly once the minimum payout amount is met, alongside a profit split of 50% to 80%.
- No upfront activation fee, with that fee instead deducted from profits on the first withdrawal.
Cons
- Challenge fees of $75 to $85 sit above the site median of €56.56.
- A profit split of 50% to 80% is below the site median of 90%.
- Support runs on email, help centre and community, so phone and chat are not part of the offering.

Questions about each
Alpha Capital Group
How much does the Alpha Capital Group challenge cost?+
The challenge price is $27. The median challenge price across tracked prop firms is €56.56, so this sits in the lower part of the market. For comparison, challenge prices at Funding Pips run $29 to $555, which reaches much further at the higher end of that range.
What profit split do traders keep with Alpha Capital Group?+
The profit split is 80% to 90%, which keeps the larger share of the account's profit with the trader and the rest with the firm. The median split across tracked firms is 90%. Apex Trader Funding shares 100%, so weigh that if the share matters more to you than the entry cost.
Earn2Trade
How much does an Earn2Trade challenge cost?+
Challenge fees are $75 to $85, with a starting payment of $75. There is no monthly subscription attached, since the account fee is $0. The price covers the evaluation itself, and any activation fee is handled separately at the first withdrawal.
Are there activation fees on top of the challenge price?+
There is no upfront activation fee. Instead, an activation fee is taken out of profits on the first withdrawal, so the first payout is smaller while the cost of entry stays at the challenge price.
