Pricing & plans
Prices change often and discounts are common, always check the current promo before you buy.
| Plan | Account size | Profit target | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Growth — 50KEvaluation plan; lower upfront cost. | $50,000 | Plan-dependent (check current rules) | From ~$50/mo (check current promo) |
| Straight to Sim Funded — 50KSkips the evaluation for a higher upfront fee. | $50,000 | No evaluation — funded after activation | One-time fee (check current pricing) |
| Advanced — 100KLarger size with adjusted loss limits. | $100,000 | Plan-dependent (check current rules) | From ~$100/mo or one-time (check current pricing) |
The funding routes
Tradeify offers more than one path to a funded account. The Growth plan is a traditional evaluation: hit a profit target within the loss limits, then move to a funded account. The Straight to Sim Funded plan skips the evaluation entirely for a higher upfront fee, and the Advanced plan adjusts the rules and loss limits for traders who want a different risk profile.
In our testing the rules matched the documentation, and the choice of routes is a genuine strength. Decide whether you want the cheaper, slower evaluation path (Growth) or the faster, pricier shortcut (Straight to Sim Funded) before you buy.
No-daily-drawdown plans
A standout feature is that some Tradeify plans carry no daily drawdown limit, only a maximum loss limit. This removes the single most common cause of accidental breaches — a bad intraday swing wiping out an otherwise healthy account.
For traders who hold through volatility or trade the open, this flexibility is valuable. That said, the exact rules differ by plan, so confirm whether your specific plan has a daily limit and how the trailing maximum loss behaves before you trade.
Pricing and value
Tradeify is competitively priced for futures evaluations, and like most firms in the category it runs frequent promo codes. As of our last test, evaluation plans were monthly while Straight to Sim Funded was a one-time fee.
Our advice: never buy at full sticker price, and match the plan to your style — the cheaper Growth route if you are patient, or Straight to Sim Funded if you want to skip the evaluation. Always check current pricing, as it changes more often here than at older firms.
Platforms and data feeds
Tradeify supports Tradovate, NinjaTrader and TradingView, covering CME futures such as ES, NQ, GC and CL. Data feeds were stable across these platforms in our testing.
If you already use Tradovate or NinjaTrader, onboarding is quick. TradingView support is a nice touch for traders who live in their charts. Confirm any platform or data fees that apply on top of the plan price.
Payouts and rules
On a funded account Tradeify advertises a split up to 90%. Payout thresholds, frequency and any consistency rules vary by plan, so read the current rulebook for your specific account.
Because Tradeify launched in 2023, its payout history is shorter than firms like Topstep. In our test the process worked as described, but a shorter track record is a real risk factor. Start with a smaller account, confirm a payout works for you, then scale.
Who Tradeify is best for
Tradeify is best for futures traders who value flexibility — particularly the no-daily-drawdown plans and the option to skip the evaluation. If you trade ES or NQ and want rules that fit your style, it is well worth testing.
It is a weaker fit for traders who prioritise the longest possible track record above all else; an older firm suits that preference. Risk note: evaluation accounts are simulated until you are funded, rules and pricing change often at newer firms, and every prop firm carries business risk, so never treat fees as guaranteed income.
