    Our verdict

    Data-driven comparison · checked Aug 11, 2026

    We track 5 Alpha Capital products and 4 from Apex Trader Funding that pass the 30-day source-freshness gate, last verified 2026-08-11. These firms sell different instruments — Alpha Capital runs CFD products and Apex Trader Funding runs futures — so treat the tables below as a fit comparison, not a like-for-like price race. Alpha Capital is the cheaper route at the one tier both firms sell on the same currency and billing model. At $25K, the cheapest verified route is Alpha Pro (6%) at $137 (One-time fee), which needs $171 of profit at a 80% split before the fee is back in your pocket.

    Product-level: Alpha Capital vs Apex Trader Funding

    The table above compares the two firms. This one compares the products you actually buy — 9 of them, each with its own price, split, drawdown rule and source date.

    We track 5 Alpha Capital products and 4 from Apex Trader Funding that pass the 30-day source-freshness gate, last verified 2026-08-11. These firms sell different instruments — Alpha Capital runs CFD products and Apex Trader Funding runs futures — so treat the tables below as a fit comparison, not a like-for-like price race.

    Alpha Capital is the cheaper route at the one tier both firms sell on the same currency and billing model. At $25K, the cheapest verified route is Alpha Pro (6%) at $137 (One-time fee), which needs $171 of profit at a 80% split before the fee is back in your pocket.

    Alpha Capital's own products disagree on 13 terms. On evaluation steps it is 2-step on Alpha Pro (6%) and Alpha Swing, versus 1-step on Alpha One, versus 3-step on Alpha Three, versus instant funding on Alpha Direct. Which product you buy decides that rule, not which firm you sign with — a firm-level table cannot show this.

    R-multiple is break-even profit divided by that product's own maximum permitted loss — under 1.00 means you can lose more than you need to make to win the fee back. Day count assumes 1% account growth per day, capped by the product's own daily loss limit. Blank cells are figures the firm does not publish.

    Rule-by-rule, product by product

    Each cell shows every value that firm's current products hold. Where a firm disagrees with itself the products are named — those are the rows a firm-level table has to flatten, and the ones that decide whether your strategy is allowed. 13 of 16 rows split this way in this matchup.
