How we rate futures prop firms

Trust is the entire point of FundedScore. The futures prop space is full of affiliate sites that rank firms purely by who pays the biggest commission. We don't. Here is exactly how every rating on this site is produced — so you can hold us to it.

What we score (and the weight)

• Payout reliability — 35%. Does the firm actually pay, on time, right now? We weight current, verifiable payout proof above everything. A firm with great terms but shaky payouts gets marked down hard.
• Rules & drawdown fairness — 25%. How survivable is the drawdown model? Are the rules clear, stable, and not full of hidden traps that exist mainly to fail accounts?
• Total cost to a payout — 20%. Real cost including resets, activation and PA fees — not just the discounted sticker price.
• Transparency & track record — 15%. How long has the firm operated, how clear is its documentation, and how does it handle disputes?
• Platform & experience — 5%. Data feed quality, platform choice, and support responsiveness.

How we stay independent

• We earn affiliate commissions when you sign up through our links — this keeps the site free. It never changes a score.
• Commission rates are not a rating factor and are not disclosed on review pages.
• We fund and trade evaluations ourselves, so reviews reflect real experience, not press releases.
• When a firm we recommend has a payout problem, we flag it at the top of the review — even if it costs us commissions.

Keeping data current

Firms change pricing and rules constantly. Every firm carries a last verified date. If you spot something out of date, tell us at hello@fundedscore.comand we'll fix it.
