Find the right account
Firms publish several account types and the rules differ more between those than between the firms themselves, so this compares accounts rather than brands. Three ways in, depending on how much you already know.

My favourite, and where my own accounts are. Support actually answers, fast. Payouts get processed and paid within the hour I request them. Every account type you could want, all end of day drawdown. The live program is the best I have used: you restart on a fresh drawdown, but the monthly bonuses let you build up without withdrawing, which is how I am running five live accounts right now. They also keep shipping new things, which the engineer in me appreciates.
Lucid Trading
4 plans · from $65.3 on the $25k
Genuinely good, and close to Tradeify on both options and reputation. One thing worth knowing before you go live: if you lose a live account, the route back is a LucidMaxx account, which is a 40% consistency eval straight to live. At roughly $200 for a 50k, replacing several at once adds up quickly, so it is worth factoring in rather than being surprised by it.
What account size are you after?
Not every firm offers every size, so this rules options in and out rather than just ranking them.
The one I actually trade
Tradeify
★ 4.6 on Trustpilot
Of everything on this page, this is the firm my own accounts are with. Not because of a commission rate, but because the rules suit how I trade and the payouts have never been a problem.
- End of day drawdown, so no intraday trap on a normal pullback
- Growth and Lightning have no consistency rule during the evaluation
- Daily payouts on Select
