Maven is cheaper to funded at 5 of the 5 directly comparable tiers. At $5K, the cheapest verified route is Standard 3-Step at $17 (One-time fee), which needs $21 of profit at a 80% split before the fee is back in your pocket.
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.

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.
