Pros & Cons

Funding Pips

✅ Pros
• Splits up to 95% depending on your consistency, which beats a flat-rate model for anyone who trades well
• Weekend holds, news trading — both allowed, no asterisks
• Widely considered one of the easier on-ramps into prop trading for newer evaluators
• Fees sit below FTMO and FundedNext without giving up much
❌ Cons
• Launched in 2022, so there isn't a decade of payout history backing this one up yet
• Community sentiment online is mixed — worth a current Trustpilot check before you commit a bigger account
• MT4 isn't supported here either

DNA Funded

✅ Pros
• Over 800 tradeable instruments. That's among the widest access on this entire list
• Backed by DNA Markets, a regulated broker — a stronger trust signal than several unregulated names here
• Spreads advertised from 0.0 pips, genuinely competitive if cost matters to you
• Gets you in starting at $49
❌ Cons
• Launched in 2024 — the shortest track record on this list by a wide margin, so payout consistency over time is simply unproven
• There isn't much independent long-run review coverage yet, compared to firms that have been around since 2015 or 2016
• Only two platforms supported, versus FTMO's three
