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.

Apex moved new purchases to 4 one-time evaluation paths
Older Apex reviews can describe a different billing and drawdown structure. Match the exact product shown at checkout, verify the dynamic fee, and note that the current evaluation may pass in one day without a minimum-day rule.
FundingPips changed the current Flex target and rechecked reward routes
Do not plan against the older 2 Step Flex 6% Phase 2 target or an assumed 85% 1 Step split. At checkout, compare the selected target, reward cycle, minimum-day rule, consistency condition and Master holding add-on for the exact account.
FundingPips separates the current Standard path from legacy 10% resets
A reset can place an older account into a different product rule set. Confirm the product name and target after any reset.
Every figure above is read from these pages. Products older than 30 days are removed from the comparison until they are recaptured, so a missing product means stale data, not a discontinued plan.
These directory fields describe the firms, not a universal product rule. The sourced product tables above decide the exact fee, split, drawdown and trading conditions. Directory context is not independently refreshed by this comparison; verify platform and payment availability for the exact programme and country.
Scored out of 5 by Trustpilot users, not by us. Where Trustpilot has pulled a firm's aggregate rating we say so rather than leaving a blank.
These links are selected by asset and platform overlap, then limited to matchups where both sides have current first-party product evidence.
