Pricing and discounts: Apex usually wins on cost
On raw cost, Apex Trader Funding is hard to beat. It runs deep discounts so often that paying full price is the exception, not the rule — wait a few days and a large coupon is usually available, which dramatically lowers the real cost of an evaluation.
MyFundedFutures is competitively priced and runs its own promotions, but not as constantly. You are paying for flexibility — multiple plan types and rule sets — rather than the rock-bottom price. Both charge a monthly subscription during the evaluation, so factor in the recurring cost, not just the headline figure, and always check current pricing before you buy because both firms change promotions frequently.
Evaluation, rules and drawdown
Apex uses a straightforward one-step evaluation: hit the profit target and you are funded, with no rigid minimum-days requirement on the standard path. That simplicity is a big reason traders like it.
MyFundedFutures offers more plan variety — including evaluation and faster-funding routes, and rule sets that differ in how the drawdown behaves. For both firms, the single most important detail is the drawdown mechanic: Apex commonly uses a trailing drawdown tied to your profit, while MyFundedFutures offers plans with end-of-day or static drawdown that some traders find more forgiving. Misunderstanding the drawdown is the number-one reason traders blow accounts at either firm, so read the rule set for the specific plan you buy. As of our last test these mechanics varied by plan — confirm the current rules directly.
Payouts and profit split
Both firms let you keep up to 100% of early profits and then move to a high split (commonly 90/10). In practice the split is close enough that it should not be your deciding factor.
Both have built reputations for fast, frequent payouts. Apex points to a very large reported payout volume across its community; MyFundedFutures has earned a strong recent payout reputation. With either, follow the payout rules exactly — consistency requirements and minimum trading days trip up more traders than the split percentage ever will.
Scaling and account count
The clearest structural difference is account count. Apex famously lets you run a large number of accounts simultaneously (commonly cited around 20), which suits copy-style scaling and traders who want many small shots on goal.
MyFundedFutures is more conservative on simultaneous accounts but counters with plan flexibility so you can match an account to your exact style. If your plan is to scale aggressively across many accounts on a budget, that tilts toward Apex; if you want one or two accounts on a rule set you fully understand, MyFundedFutures is comfortable. Check current account limits on both, as they change.
