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.
Uprofit
Pros
- Payouts are on demand, and the first one comes after a few winning days.
- Account sizes of 50K, 100K, 150K give a choice of capital to be tested on.
- The evaluation is 1 step, so there is no second stage to clear after passing.
Cons
- On challenge price the brand sits at position 13 of 21, so cheaper entry points exist elsewhere.
- The upper end of $78 to $226 runs well past a site challenge price of €56.56.
- Single-step routes are the smaller group among ranked firms, 34.8% against 43.5%.
Who each suits
E8 Markets
Who it suits
- Traders who want funded status quickly and treat on-demand payouts as the main draw.

- 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.
Uprofit
Who it suits
- Traders who would rather finish an evaluation quickly than work up a long ladder.
- Anyone weighing entry cost against the 90% profit split before buying a challenge.
- Day traders who want help by more than a single channel, since support runs on email, phone and help centre.
Who should look elsewhere
- Traders buying purely on entry cost: Alpha Capital Group lists $27 for its challenge.
- Anyone chasing the largest profit share: Apex Trader Funding offers 100%.
- Traders who want a wider spread of fee levels: Funding Pips charges $29 to $555.
