Data-driven comparison · checked Aug 11, 2026
We track 2 FTMO products and 4 from Tradeify that pass the 30-day source-freshness gate, last verified 2026-08-11. These firms sell different instruments — FTMO runs CFD products and Tradeify runs futures — so treat the tables below as a fit comparison, not a like-for-like price race. FTMO offers EUR one-time; Tradeify offers USD one-time at this tier. No currency-and-billing class appears on both sides, so we neither convert currencies nor rank a recurring floor against a fixed total.
Winning value on each row is marked. Ties are flagged. Empty cells mean we don't have that data point yet.

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.

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

The comparison stores the stable purchase price, not a temporary coupon or reset. Confirm the final discounted amount, reset cost, and product name in checkout before paying.
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.
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.
