Every number comes from the two plans named above — click a plan name to change it. The last few rows describe the company, not the plan. A BEST tag appears only where better is genuinely unambiguous; where it depends on how you trade, like leverage or company status, both values are shown with no winner. An em dash means we have not verified it, not that the firm is worse.
Common questions
Which is cheaper for a $100,000 account, FTMO or FundedNext?
FTMO. For a $100,000 account it is $479 against $549.99 — $70.99 less, about 13% cheaper. Entry cost is a one-off, though: once you are funded, the profit split and payout schedule usually move far more money over a year than this gap does.
Which keeps you more of your profit, FTMO or FundedNext?
Neither — both pay the trader 80% of profits. On every $1,000 you withdraw they hand you the same amount, so this row does not separate them.
How soon can you withdraw with FTMO or FundedNext?
FTMO pays sooner: 14 days against 21 days for FundedNext. After that both pay bi-weekly. This is the wait for the FIRST withdrawal only — it says nothing about how quickly later payouts arrive.
How do the drawdown rules differ between FTMO and FundedNext?
Both cap daily loss at 5% and total loss at 10%. Total drawdown is measured from your starting balance in both cases, so profit you make does not drag the limit up behind you.
Which challenge is easier to pass, FTMO or FundedNext?
FTMO asks for 10% in phase one and FundedNext asks for 8%. FTMO requires a minimum of 4 trading days against 5 for FundedNext. A lower target does not automatically mean an easier challenge, though — the drawdown rules above decide whether you get the room to reach them at all, and passing is a different problem from keeping the account afterwards.
Should you choose FTMO or FundedNext?
Across the 24 criteria we compare, FTMO leads on 6 and FundedNext on 2; 10 are identical between them and 6 are not verified on both sides (TC Score 82.77 against 77.98). That is a count, not a recommendation: entry cost matters most if you expect to retake the challenge a few times, while the profit split and drawdown rules matter most once you are funded. Read the rows that match how you actually trade rather than the total.
