The table below puts every rule side by side — this intro is the short version.

On entry cost, Tradeify charges from $49 and Bulenox charges from $16 for its standard evaluation. The profit split is Up to 90% at Tradeify versus Up to 90% at Bulenox — but a bigger split only matters if the payout actually arrives, so weigh it against the payout-speed row. The drawdown models differ: Tradeify uses trailing, Bulenox uses eod (option 2) or trailing (option 1) — trader's choice. That single rule changes how much room you really have on a losing day, so check the "Drawdown Explained" guide if the distinction is new to you.

Tradeify allows weekend holding and Bulenox allows it. If your strategy carries positions across the weekend, that alone should decide this comparison for you.

Pros & Cons

Tradeify

✅ Pros
• No consistency rule — a direct answer to the exact thing traders complain about at Topstep and Apex-style firms
• Instant funding available if you'd rather skip the Combine entirely
• Flexible plans aimed squarely at people who got burned on a technicality somewhere else
❌ Cons
• $509 for a 50K account — the highest entry fee of any futures firm on this list
• 2024 is the newest founding date here, which means the shortest track record by a clear margin
• EAs aren't confirmed as allowed, unlike Bulenox's explicit yes

Bulenox

✅ Pros
• EAs and algo trading, fully allowed on funded accounts — the only major futures firm here that doesn't restrict this
• A free NinjaTrader 8 license is bundled in, which is a real cost saved
• Pick your drawdown style: Option 1 trailing, Option 2 end-of-day. Your call
• Weekly payouts, a faster cycle than several competitors
❌ Cons
• A 40% consistency rule at payout time has drawn real, repeated complaints — one big day followed by smaller ones is the pattern that gets flagged most often
• Only 3 simultaneous accounts, nowhere near Apex's 20
• The whole acquisition model leans heavily on promo codes, which means standard pricing can shift — always check current terms directly before you commit
