At $50K, real cost (the fee × 3 plus activation) comes to at least $525 for Bulenox’s Option 2 (EOD); Apex Trader Funding’s fee at $50K isn’t on record, so cost can’t be set side by side.

What you’d spend to get funded
Real cost is what it takes to get funded at the published prices: the evaluation fee × 3 (3 attempts, or 3 months on a monthly plan) plus the activation fee charged when you pass. Sales and discount codes aren’t counted. A “+” means the activation fee isn’t on record, so the figure is a floor.

The drawdown difference
Both plans compared use an end-of-day trailing drawdown: the max loss moves up only when a trading day closes at a new high, so an open profit you give back before the close doesn’t raise it. The difference between them is in the figures, not the kind. Our catalog stores one drawdown and one daily loss limit per plan, not one per stage, so check whether they change on Apex Trader Funding’s EOD Evaluation or Bulenox’s Option 2 (EOD) once you’re funded.
At $50K, Apex Trader Funding allows $2,000 of loss against a $3,000 profit target (1.50×); Bulenox allows $2,500 of loss against a $3,000 profit target (1.20×).
On top of the max loss, Apex Trader Funding’s EOD Evaluation adds a $1,000 daily loss limit, and Bulenox’s Option 2 (EOD) adds a $1,100 daily loss limit.
Apex Trader Funding also has Intraday Evaluation, with an intraday trailing drawdown, on record.
