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.
PropNext
Pros
- Challenge fees of €99 to €1,999 undercut the $29 to $549 band at City Traders Imperium while staying above the $49 entry at Topstep.
- A profit split of 80% to 90% lines up with the 90% site median, so a funded trader keeps a competitive share.
- Account sizes of $10,000 - $500,000 let a trader start small and scale up without changing the evaluation format.
Cons
- Payouts go out Every 14 days, which is slow for anyone drawing a monthly income from a single funded account.
- The lower end of the 80% to 90% range sits under the 95% the strongest firms on the site reach, so a weaker tier earns noticeably less.
- A 3% to 5% daily loss limit under a 6% to 10% maximum drawdown leaves a wide adverse day little room before the account is at risk.

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.
PropNext
How much does a PropNext challenge cost?+
PropNext charges €99 to €1,999 for an evaluation, quoted in euros, across account sizes of $10,000 - $500,000. That is a mid-range entry rather than the cheapest here: Alpha Capital Group charges $27, Topstep $49, and City Traders Imperium spans $29 to $549.
What profit split does PropNext pay on a funded account?+
A funded PropNext account pays a split of 80% to 90%, so the tier you buy sets the share you keep. The spread between the two ends is wide enough that it pays to read the split attached to the account size you are paying for rather than the headline figure.
