How We Rate Prop Firms

Our Proposed Scoring Framework (100 Points)

These categories describe our intended assessment framework. We will publish a score only when the supporting evidence and scoring criteria are available. Missing evidence will be labelled as unknown, not replaced with an invented score.

Payout Reliability and Speed — 25 pointsEvidence of completed payouts, processing times and documented disputes. Published payout terms alone do not prove reliability.

Pricing and Value — 20 pointsChallenge fees, recurring charges, resets and activation costs for comparable plans.

Trading Rules and Clarity — 20 pointsDrawdown calculations, profit targets, consistency rules, news trading and EA policies.

Support and Transparency — 15 pointsDocumented support interactions, published terms and disclosure of rule changes. We will not claim a response-time test without performing one.

Platforms and Instruments — 10 pointsAvailable platforms and markets, checked for the specific plan.

Reputation and Track Record — 10 pointsDocumented operating history and independently assessable evidence. Testimonials alone are not proof.

How We Check Information

Prices, eligibility and rules must be checked against the firm's own website, help center or agreement. Competitor comparison sites may help us discover topics, but they are not our evidence for a firm's terms. Where official sources disagree, we flag the conflict rather than choose an unsupported answer.

Research into published terms is different from trading an account, receiving a payout or testing customer support. We describe the work actually performed and do not imply hands-on experience we do not have.

Discount Verification

A code is labelled checkout-tested only after it is applied to a real cart without completing a purchase. The record must identify the plan, currency, original price, discounted price and test date. A successful test on one plan does not establish eligibility for every plan.

A historical test is not a guarantee that a code still works. Our discount page distinguishes dated checkout-tested codes from link-only partner listings. A referral link alone does not establish a buyer discount.

Updates and Corrections

Prices and rules can change. Check the verification date and the firm's current terms before paying. A wording or design edit does not count as a fresh price or checkout verification. Report a discrepancy to info@propdealhub.com with the page and affected plan so we can investigate.

Editorial Independence

Some links may earn us a commission. Partnership status is separate from editorial assessment; a firm cannot purchase a favourable conclusion. Read our Affiliate Disclosure.

Risk and Limitations

Challenge fees can be lost, and meeting an evaluation target does not guarantee a payout. Account environments and contractual terms vary. Read the firm's agreement, eligibility restrictions and full costs before deciding. Our comparisons are informational and do not promise trading results.

No numerical firm scores have been issued. When scores appear, each will link to the evidence behind it.
