How we make money

Some firm links on this site are affiliate links. If you buy a challenge through one, the firm may pay us a commission. You pay the same price.

Firms that pay us

We track 19 prop firms. 3 of them have an active affiliate link with us:

BrightFundedAffiliate link: we may earn a commission on a purchaseBrightFunded review
FundedNextAffiliate link: we may earn a commission on a purchaseFundedNext review
FundingPipsAffiliate link: we may earn a commission on a purchaseFundingPips review

The other 16 firms do not pay us. Links to them go to the firm’s own website with no tracking code. None of the 5 trading tools we review pays us either.

How our links work

  • Firm sign-up links go through one redirect, /go/<firm>. For a partner it opens our affiliate link, tagged utm_source=tradersfundhub, utm_medium=affiliate and the page placement, so the firm can credit the click. For every other firm it opens the official website without any tracking code. A few tables also link straight to a non-partner’s official site; those links are not tracked either.
  • Partner links carry rel="sponsored", and pages that contain them carry an affiliate disclosure. Links to non-partners are not marked as sponsored.
  • For each /go click we record only the firm, the click type (partner link, official site or source page), the button placement, the page language, and the path of the page on our site the click came from. That path is read from the browser’s Referer header, without any query string, and is recorded as unknown when the click came from another site or the header is missing. We don’t record IP addresses, browser details, cookies or other personal data.
  • The /go redirects are excluded from search indexing.

What a partnership can and can’t buy

Partnerships never change our scores. Partner firms may get more prominent placement and sign-up buttons. Partner links are tagged as sponsored, and the page says we may earn a commission. On Russian pages, firms open to Russian residents are usually listed first, and the Russian home table and ranking hub always put them first.

  • Scores. An affiliate link adds 0 points to a firm’s 0–10 score. The score is based on published rules, payout terms, operating history and rule transparency. See how we score firms.
  • Product data. Prices, drawdown limits, profit splits and payout rules come from each firm’s own public pages, with the capture date shown. Partners and non-partners go through the same 30-day freshness check.
  • Placement. A partner can appear in a highlighted slot, such as a partner spotlight or a partner shortlist, and its sign-up button can be more prominent. Many of these slots carry a Partner label; every partner link is tagged rel="sponsored", and the page says we may earn a commission. None of this changes any score.
  • Discount codes. We only show a code that appears on the firm’s own material or that we have checked, with the date. We never make up codes.
