The fees behind the fee

• ›Activation fees (futures): $79–$130 typically, due when you pass (Apex $69–$129; FundedNext Futures charges none on some plans).
• ›Reset fees: often ~80% of list price — budget for at least one.
• ›Payout processing: some firms deduct transfer fees ($20–$50) or percentage commissions (The5ers 3.5% on some rails).
• ›Add-ons: higher splits, faster payouts and swap-free options typically cost +10–20% each.

The cost nobody budgets: expected attempts

The sticker price assumes you pass first try; most traders don't. A $219 challenge at a 60% personal pass probability really costs ~$365 to funded ($219 ÷ 0.6). Our simulator computes exactly that — expected cost to funded for your stats — and regularly reorders the 'cheapest' list once attempts are priced in. Cheap and passable are different products.
