Lucid Trading is cheaper to funded at 3 of the 3 directly comparable tiers. At $25K, the cheapest verified route is LucidFlex at $89 (One-time fee), which needs $99 of profit at a 90% split before the fee is back in your pocket.

Which product you buy decides that rule, not which firm you sign with — a firm-level table cannot show this.
Lucid Trading is cheaper within the shared USD one-time class: LucidFlex at $89 — $51 less than FundedNext's cheapest route at this tier (Stellar Lite, $140) — 36% 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. 13 of 16 rows split this way in this matchup.

Correction: Stellar 1-Step forex leverage is 1:30, not 1:100
Do not size a Stellar 1-Step position using the 1:100 figure for Stellar 2-Step or Lite. Recheck required margin for the exact programme; leverage does not increase its loss limits. This rule check did not refresh product prices.
FundedNext's EA article limits automation to accounts below $50,000
Buying an EA add-on is not universal permission to automate. Check the exact account size and programme. The article gives no effective date or existing-account exemption. Rule text rechecked unchanged on 2026-10-20; this rule recheck does not relabel the product price captures.
FundedNext's general and Instant EA articles differ in account-size detail
Confirm how the general size rule applies before automating a scaled Instant account. An omitted limit in one article is not proof of an exception; retain the written answer for the exact programme and account size.
LucidDaily launched with 4 configurable evaluation paths
Confirm the exact DLL, drawdown, price, overnight, weekend, and news-calendar scope at checkout; the stored Daily prices are list prices, not the coupon or limited-time totals.
FundedNext Stellar Instant prices now include cents
The comparison now preserves the cents shown by FundedNext. Confirm the final standard or swap-free price and any optional add-on 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.
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.
