E8 Markets is cheaper to funded at 6 of the 6 directly comparable tiers. At $5K, the cheapest verified route is E8 Pro (E8PRO v2, Forex) at $32 (One-time fee), which needs $40 of profit at a 80% split before the fee is back in your pocket.
Crypto Fund Trader's own products disagree on 16 terms. On evaluation steps it is 1-step on Accelerated (1-Phase) and Break Challenge, versus 2-step on Evaluation (Standard 2-Phase) and Ascend Evaluation, versus instant funding on Instant. Which product you buy decides that rule, not which firm you sign with — a firm-level table cannot show this.

CFT homepage prices still differ from Ascend and Break terms
Confirm the exact product, account size, availability and final checkout fee before purchase. Break activation remains a separate charge. This conflict check leaves product capture dates unchanged and does not establish a verified price change.
E8 Signature base prices refreshed
The four Signature fees are $10–$60 higher than the prior capture, so true-cost and break-even comparisons move with them. Check the final checkout total and any active code before paying.
CFT Ascend and Break fee ladders were resolved from current terms
CFT's Ascend and Break tiers can now appear in fresh price comparisons, but Ascend pays fixed scholarships rather than an ongoing percentage split and Break requires activation after review. Verify the selected tier and final checkout availability, especially where a page block still says sold out.
E8 One pages disagree on the default target and drawdown
Verify the selected target, daily limit and maximum drawdown in the order confirmation before trading; Indian and Kenyan profiles are additionally capped at the $200K E8 One tier.
E8 Pro pages disagree on prices and configurable terms
The comparison follows the current product-specific v2 page and does not infer variant prices. Confirm the size, drawdown, payout option, platform surcharge and final total in checkout.
Correction: CFT reward shares and payout timing depend on the programme
This corrects TFH's blanket 80% and bi-weekly descriptions, not a proven September policy change. The regenerated Instant fee-recovery model uses the 50% starting share. Numeric payout timing is left unverified where the calendar field cannot express the conditions; no actual customer payout was independently verified.
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.
