Which should you pick?
FundedNext: FundedNext's stellar model has a one-phase option with a 15% profit target — one of the highest in the space, offset by generous drawdown. Two-phase Evaluation is closer to FTMO's structure at a slightly lower cost. Payout track record is strong; the choice between models is really a question of trader style.
FundingPips: FundingPips' three-phase model is longer than most, but the eval fee is among the lowest in the space, which materially improves cost-adjusted EV. Payouts are frequent when funded. Best for patient traders comfortable with a longer evaluation runway.
On the numbers above, FundedNext is the better expected-value choice for a balanced profile — but archetypes are not you. A scalper and a swing trader can flip this ranking entirely, because drawdown type punishes lumpy P&L far more than frequent small P&L. Run your own drawdown numbers first, then simulate your real stats.
Frequently asked
Is FundedNext or FundingPips easier to pass?+
In our simulation of a balanced 50%-win-rate trader, FundedNext passes 25.0% of the time and FundingPips passes 23.9% — so FundedNext is the easier evaluation for that profile. The gap is driven mostly by drawdown type (Static vs Static) and the number of phases.
Which is cheaper, FundedNext or FundingPips?+
The mid-tier evaluation costs $480 at FundedNext and $175 at FundingPips. Sticker price is the wrong comparison though: over 50 attempted challenges our simulation nets -$14.9k at FundedNext versus -$4.1k at FundingPips, because a cheaper eval you fail more often is not cheaper.
Which pays out more reliably, FundedNext or FundingPips?+
Conditional on passing, our model gives FundedNext a 54.4% chance of reaching a first payout versus 53.3% at FundingPips. End to end — pass and withdraw — that is 13.6% vs 12.8%. Profit splits are 90% and 80%.
What is the biggest rule difference between FundedNext and FundingPips?+
FundedNext uses a static drawdown of 10% with a 5% daily loss limit; FundingPips uses a static drawdown of 8% with a 5% daily loss limit. FundingPips is the stricter ruleset for most trading styles.
