Maven's own products disagree on 12 terms. On evaluation steps it is 1-step on Standard 1-Step and Buy Now, Pay Later and Prediction Markets One-Step Essential and Prediction Markets One-Step Elite, versus 2-step on Standard 2-Step and OMO 2-Step, versus instant funding on Instant and Mini, versus 3-step on Standard 3-Step. Which product you buy decides that rule, not which firm you sign with — a firm-level table cannot show this.
Not in the cost tables: Apex Trader Funding EOD Trail - Standard and Intraday Trail - Standard. The latest capture records no complete entry price for them, so they are not ranked on cost.
Maven is cheaper within the shared USD one-time class: Standard 1-Step at $170 — $320 less than Apex Trader Funding's cheapest route at this tier (Intraday Trail - No Activation Fee, $490) — 65% cheaper.

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.

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.
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. 12 of 16 rows split this way in this matchup.

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.
Maven publishes conflicting Instant payout timing
The comparison leaves Instant payout timing unknown. Confirm the first eligible request date and later cadence in the selected account terms before purchase.
Maven's Prediction pages now agree on loss limits
Use 5% (Phase 1) and 8% (funded) maximum loss for both Prediction paths; the two differ in drawdown model (trailing vs static). Confirm the rule set in the account agreement before purchase.
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.
