Pros and cons
Bulenox
Pros
- Account sizes run $25,000 - $150,000, so traders can match an account to their risk appetite.
- Trading costs $2.09 per contract and the account fee is free, so a funded account carries no monthly charge.
- Platform choice is broad, with R | Trader Pro, NinjaTrader and Quantower supported.
Cons
- Challenge fees run $145 to $325, above the site median of €56.56.
- The minimum deposit of $145 is above the prop firm median of €87.70.
- Support runs on email, help centre and community only, with no phone line or live chat listed.
Ftmo
Pros
- Trading limits are published in plain form: a 10% maximum drawdown and a 3% to 5% daily loss limit, both easy to check against your own risk plan.
- The drawdown limit stays at 10% across the evaluation, while Alpha Capital Group works with limits of 4% to 10%.
- Account sizes of $10,000 / $25,000 / $50,000 / $100,000 / $200,000 let a trader scale the account to the capital they actually have.
Cons
- The profit split of 80% to 90% leaves a share of each payout with the firm, where Funding Pips and Apex Trader Funding list 100% and 100%.
- The daily loss limit of 3% to 5% and the 10% maximum drawdown are both hard, so a weak session can end an evaluation on a larger size than planned.
- A reward claim only opens after a waiting period counted from the first trade, and payment waits on invoice approval, so the first payout takes patience.
Who each suits
Bulenox
Who it suits
- Futures traders who want a short evaluation, 3 step, with Daily payouts.
- Traders keeping their own platform, since the supported list covers R | Trader Pro, NinjaTrader and Quantower.
- Traders who read the rate sheet first: trading costs $2.09 per contract and account fees are free.
Who should look elsewhere
- Traders after the cheapest way in, since Alpha Capital Group charges $27 against Bulenox at $145 to $325.
- Traders chasing a larger share, since Apex Trader Funding lists 100% where Bulenox lists 90%.

Ftmo
Who it suits
- Traders who want the loss limits on the table before they pay: 3% to 5% a day and 10% overall.
- Traders who want to reach support by email, chat and phone, including phone and chat.
- Anyone whose capital fits one of the listed sizes, $10,000 / $25,000 / $50,000 / $100,000 / $200,000, and who can sit out the claim window after the first trade.
Who should look elsewhere
- Traders who want to keep every point of profit: Funding Pips and Apex Trader Funding publish 100% and 100% splits, against 80% to 90% here.
- Traders who want a tighter loss cap: Alpha Capital Group works with a maximum drawdown of 4% to 10%, which suits people who want a lower ceiling than 10%.

Questions about each
Bulenox
How much does a Bulenox challenge cost?+
Challenge fees run $145 to $325, and the minimum deposit is $145. That sits above the site median challenge fee of €56.56 and the prop firm deposit median of €87.70. The account fee is free, so the challenge payment carries the cost of entry.
What profit split and payout schedule does Bulenox offer?+
The profit split is 90%, ahead of most of this comparison, and payouts are Daily once an account is funded. The payout schedule matters as much as the split for traders who need cash out regularly. Apex Trader Funding lists a larger share at 100%.
Ftmo
What does an FTMO challenge cost?+
FTMO lists the account sizes you can enter, $10,000 / $25,000 / $50,000 / $100,000 / $200,000, and the evaluation runs as a 2 step process, so the entry cost follows the size and the stage you buy. For a sense of the market, the median challenge price across the sites compared here is €56.56, and the median for prop firms is €51.74.
How many stages does the evaluation have?+
FTMO runs a 2 step evaluation, so passing takes more than a single stage and a strong result in a single stage does not carry the account through. That structure appears on 40.9% of the sites compared here, against 36.4% for the single-stage model. Each stage is judged against the same 10% maximum drawdown and 3% to 5% daily loss limit.
