Our verdict
DarwinexZero suits traders who want a low-cost way into a prop challenge and can accept a thin payout. The challenge price is €45 and the profit split is 15%, so entry is cheap but the reward for passing is smaller than at most rivals.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Entry is priced at €45, under the prop-firm median of €51.74
- A long operating history, with the business founded in 2012
- Run by a named legal entity, Tradeslide Technologies Limited, based in the United Kingdom
- Support runs through email, help centre and community
Cons
- A profit split of 15% is well below the prop-firm median of 90%
- Support runs on email, help centre and community only
Who it suits
- Traders keeping prop-firm spending low
- Anyone who trades smaller accounts and values a low entry price
- Traders who already know the challenge format and can work without phone support
Who should look elsewhere
- Traders who want a high share of profits, who should compare Apex Trader Funding and its split of 100%
- Anyone who wants live chat or phone help, where most rivals in this ranking offer more than email, help centre and community
Where it sits among rivals
On price, DarwinexZero ranks 8 of 21 brands compared, so entry sits well down the field. On the split it ranks 12 of 13. The pattern is consistent: a low bar to clear, then a smaller share of what you earn. Most prop firms sit near a 90% split, so passing here means giving up more upside.
Who runs it
The firm operates as Tradeslide Technologies Limited and is based in the United Kingdom. It has been trading since 2012, a long record for a prop provider. Support runs through email, help centre and community, so questions are handled in writing and through community threads rather than on a phone line. Worth weighing that before you buy a challenge.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a DarwinexZero challenge cost?+
A challenge costs €45. That is below the prop-firm median of €51.74 and below the upper end of the field at €192.93. Entry sits among the cheaper options in this ranking, which suits traders funding a challenge from limited savings.
What share of profits do I keep after passing?+
The profit split is 15%. Most prop firms on the site sit near a 90% split, and DarwinexZero ranks 12 of 13 on that measure. You are buying a cheaper entry in exchange for a smaller cut of the payout.
Is DarwinexZero regulated?+
DarwinexZero is a prop trading firm rather than a broker holding client money, and no regulator or protection licence applies to the challenge fee. It is operated by Tradeslide Technologies Limited, based in the United Kingdom. What you buy is a funded evaluation account, not pooled deposits.
How long has the company been running?+
The business was founded in 2012 and operates as Tradeslide Technologies Limited from GB. That is a long trading record for a prop provider, which matters more here than elsewhere because the challenge fee is a payment to a private firm rather than a regulated intermediary.
What support can I get?+
Support runs on email, help centre and community. Email is the main route, backed by a help centre and community threads. That means no phone line or live chat during a challenge, so traders who need voice contact should weigh a firm that offers it.
Is DarwinexZero worth it compared with cheaper firms?+
It depends on what you optimise. Alpha Capital Group's challenge price of $27 is lower, and Funding Pips runs $29 to $555, covering a wider range. DarwinexZero's €45 sits between them, with a 15% split that is the leanest of the firms compared here.
Who is this prop firm suited to?+
It suits traders who want a low cost of entry and can live with a 15% profit split, particularly those trading smaller funded accounts. It also suits traders who are comfortable with the challenge format and do not need phone support, since contact runs through email, help centre and community.
