Pros and cons
E8 Markets
Pros
- Payouts come on demand on any day, so funded profit is not locked behind a monthly payout date.
- Account sizes run $5K to $500K, covering a modest test and a much larger funded allocation on the same model.
- The 6% drawdown cap is at the tight end of the field, which suits traders who size positions carefully.
Cons
- The 80% split trails the prop-firm median of 90%, so funded gains build more slowly.
- Support runs on email, chat and help centre only, with no phone line.
- The same 6% cap leaves little room for a losing run, so a weak stretch can end the account early.
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.
Who each suits
E8 Markets
Who it suits
- Traders who want funded status quickly and treat on-demand payouts as the main draw.
- Traders who prefer a strict risk rule, since 6% sits at the tight end of this group.
- Anyone testing a prop firm on a small account, given the $5K to $500K range of sizes.
Who should look elsewhere
- Traders chasing the highest share of profits, since Apex Trader Funding lists 100%.
- Traders on the smallest budget, since Alpha Capital Group charges $27 and Funding Pips fees run $29 to $555.
- Traders who need phone support, since help runs on email, chat and help centre only.
Funding Pips
Who it suits
- Traders chasing the full 100% rather than a reduced share of profits.
- Anyone who wants a 12% maximum drawdown rather than a tighter cap.
- Traders who prefer Weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, daily, on demand payouts to waiting on a monthly cycle.
Who should look elsewhere
- Traders shopping on the lowest entry fee alone, since Alpha Capital Group lists $27 and OFP Funding lists $35.
- Anyone who needs phone support, as the listed channels are email, chat and help centre.
- Traders who want a longer evaluation, since the route here is 2 step.

Questions about each
E8 Markets
How much does an E8 Markets challenge cost?+
Challenge fees run $36 to $1,499 depending on the account you pick, so the top of that range sits well above the entry point for a modest test. The median challenge price across the prop firms ranked here is €51.74, which puts the low end below the field and the high end above it.
What profit split do funded traders keep?+
Funded traders keep 80% of the profits they make on the account. That is a workable share, but it is not the strongest in this group: the median profit split across the prop firms ranked is 90%, and Apex Trader Funding lists 100%.
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.
How much of my profits do I keep?+
The profit split is 100%, so a funded trader keeps the whole of the profits. That is the strongest point on the sheet for anyone comparing shares, and it is why the entry fee sits above some rivals.
