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.
Funding Pips
Pros
- The profit split is 100%, first of 13 brands compared on that measure.
- A 12% maximum drawdown ranks first among 8 brands measured for it.
- Payouts run Weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, daily, on demand, so funded traders are not held to a single cycle.
Cons
- The challenge price of $29 to $555 is higher than the entry fee of Alpha Capital Group at $27.
- The daily loss limit of 4% tightens the risk a trader can take on a single session.
- Support runs on email, chat and help centre only, with no phone line listed.

Funding Pips
What does a Funding Pips challenge cost?+
Fees run $29 to $555 in total depending on the account you pick, and the site median for a challenge like this is €56.56. Because the evaluation is 2 step, the total entry cost covers a shorter route to a funded account than a longer staged process would.
