How much does a prop firm account cost?
A prop firm account costs anything from under $20 to over $1,000. Here's what drives the price and how to avoid overpaying.

Roughly: 10K from $50–100, 50K from $150–300, 100K from $300–650 and 200K from $600–1,100. Small 2K–5K accounts can cost under $20. See live prices by account size.
What affects the price
The number of steps, loss limits, profit split, drawdown type and platform all play a part. Add-ons like a higher split or on-demand payouts cost extra.
Refunds
Many firms refund the fee with the first payout (some with the third). It's worth checking, as it effectively makes the challenge free if you succeed.
