$25K Futures Prop Firm Accounts Compared
A $25K futures account is the cheapest way into a funded futures account, built for micros and one or two minis. We list 92 $25K evaluations from 31 futures firms, read from each firm's own site.
The cheapest one-time evaluation is $40 at DayTraders.com (Static), and the middle price is $145. The drawdown on a $25K account is small in dollars, often $1,000 to $1,500, so one bad trade can end it. Check how the drawdown is measured before you choose.
We may earn a commission if you buy through our links. It never changes what we show or the order. How we make money.

Each firm’s own price today, before any code, read from its site. A struck-through price is the firm’s usual price during a sale. Programs with a fee to pay after you pass are placed by their total cost. Tick Compare on up to four programs to see their rules side by side. Prices marked “a month” are subscriptions that renew until you pass or cancel.
