Pros and cons
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.
Hola Prime
Pros
- The Prime Challenge has a stated price of $39.
- The evaluation is 1 step, rather than a multi-step process.
- Hola Prime states a profit split of 95%.
Cons
- The Prime Challenge fee of $39 is above the starting price in City Traders Imperium's listed range, $29 to $549.
- The 3% daily loss limit and 6% maximum drawdown set firm risk boundaries that may not suit every trading approach.
Who each suits
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%.
Hola Prime
Who it suits
- Traders who prefer a 1 step evaluation with stated daily and overall loss limits.
- Traders who value a stated 95% profit split and multiple listed payout timings.
Who should look elsewhere
- Traders focused on a lower listed challenge entry price may prefer City Traders Imperium, whose range is $29 to $549.
- Traders comparing the stated profit split with a higher maximum may want to consider FTMO, whose listed range is 80% to 90%.

Questions about each
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.
Hola Prime
How much does the Hola Prime challenge cost?+
The Prime Challenge price is $39. Hola Prime also lists account sizes of $2K-$200K. Consider those figures together when comparing the evaluation offer, and check which account size and challenge option suit your plans before making a choice.
How does the evaluation work?+
The Prime Challenge uses a 1 step evaluation. Its listed rules include a 3% daily loss limit and a 6% maximum drawdown. Those limits give you concrete risk boundaries to consider alongside the evaluation format before deciding whether the challenge fits your trading approach.
