Do prop firms pay you to be listed?
No. No firm on this site pays for placement, no firm can raise its own score, and there are no affiliate links in the comparison. That is the whole reason there is a price on this page.
So what am I actually paying for?
Pro is the deeper research: every column of the challenge table, bigger comparisons, and every price, target and drawdown change we've logged for each firm. Elite is the tracking: it remembers your accounts and trades and warns you before a rule ends one.
What do I lose by never paying?
Not the basics. Every firm page, its rules and reviews, the firm list, the challenge table's main columns, a two-firm compare and the calculators stay open to everyone. Pro adds the deep research; Elite adds account tracking.
Who gets the free trial?
First-time subscribers get 7 days free, once per person. Opening checkout counts as using it, but if you don't finish, you can come back within 24 hours and still get it. If you've had a trial before, there is no free week: Stripe's checkout page shows the full amount due today before you confirm.
How does the free trial end?
The first charge lands on day 7. Cancel before then, from the Manage subscription button on this page, and you are charged nothing at all.
Can I cancel or switch tiers later?
Any time, from Manage subscription on this page, which opens Stripe's billing page. Change or cancel your plan there rather than starting a second checkout, so you're never billed twice.
