Tradeify is cheaper to funded at 3 of the 3 directly comparable tiers. At $25K, the cheapest verified route is Growth Evaluation at $99 (One-time fee), which needs $110 of profit at a 90% split before the fee is back in your pocket.

Crypto Fund Trader's own products disagree on 13 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.
Not in the cost tables: Crypto Fund Trader Ascend Evaluation. The latest capture records no complete entry price for it, so it is not ranked on cost.
Tradeify is cheaper within the shared USD one-time class: Growth Evaluation at $99 — $109 less than Crypto Fund Trader's cheapest route at this tier (Break Challenge, $208) — 52% 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.

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.
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. Rechecked 2026-10-14: the product capture re-confirmed the 50% starting share on all three Instant tiers, and the FAQ read on 2026-10-15 still states 15 traded days or 30 calendar days for general reward requests. The 80% figures for the 1-Phase and 2-Phase programmes were carried forward from the earlier capture, not re-read field by field. The correction stands; no new policy change was observed. Rechecked 2026-10-20 (article-slot recapture, content/data/challenges/_captures/crypto-fund-trader-2026-10-20.json, articleSlotRecapture): the homepage Instant tables still read "Profit Split 50% 60% 70% 80% 90%", the 1-Phase and 2-Phase tables still show 80% Live Stage splits, the FAQ still states the 15 traded days or 30 calendar days reward-request rule, and the Evaluation, Accelerated and Instant product captures were re-dated 2026-10-20. No policy change observed.
Tradeify list prices and homepage promotions can diverge
The comparison stores stable base purchase prices, not a temporary coupon, reset fee or purchase-date payout cap. Confirm the final discount, reset cost, account purchase date and applicable payout table in checkout and the account agreement.
CFT Ascend and Break prices follow the current terms; the homepage still shows different prices
The first-party pages still disagree, so treat Ascend prices as unconfirmed until checkout: the Terms ladder is what we show, but CFT's own homepage items are higher and cannot currently be bought, and Ascend availability is not confirmed. Ascend pays fixed scholarships rather than an ongoing percentage split, and Break requires a separate activation fee after review. The homepage-versus-terms disagreement first logged on 2026-10-06 is tracked in its own watch entry. Evidence: content/data/challenges/_captures/crypto-fund-trader-2026-10-19.json (conflicts).
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.
