The cheapest prop firms by entry fee: Maven Trading ($13), FundingPips ($36), The 5%ers ($39), Hola Prime ($45), FundedNext ($49), Topstep ($49/month). However, the cheapest fee doesn't always mean cheapest total cost. A $13 firm where you fail 20 times costs $260, while a $300 firm where you pass on attempt 2 costs $600. Your pass rate matters more than the individual fee. Use PropWise's Challenge Cost Calculator to estimate your true total cost.
