Prop Firm Reviews — 2026

Best Prop Trading Firms

15 active prop firms ranked by weighted average from TrustPilot and independent review sites. A prop firm funds you with real capital — you keep 80–100% of profits and risk only your challenge fee.

How it works
Pass a challenge (hit profit target, stay within drawdown) → get a funded account → trade and keep your share of profits.
Profit split
Most firms offer 80–90% to the trader. Some scale to 100% as your account grows. Your challenge fee is often refunded on first payout.
⚠ Caution flag
Firms marked ⚠ have TrustPilot review flags (fake reviews removed, score suppressed or declining). Research independently before buying.
