Account size
Best $50K prop firm accounts
The $50,000 account sits in the middle of the range: it is large enough that the profit is worth having and small enough that failing costs a few hundred dollars rather than a few thousand. Every firm below sells one.
Rules and prices may change
Inclusion rule
Firms that sell a $50,000 account on at least one programme.
Order
Cheapest first, by each firm's lowest published price for a $50K account. The order uses the price paid upfront: Atmos Funded's 1-Step Nova costs $5 upfront and $345 more after passing. A monthly subscription counts at one month's fee. Firms at the same price are listed by founding year, earliest first. Firms without a US dollar list price for a $50K account come last.
Some links on this site are affiliate links: if you buy through one, or with one of our codes, PropScouting may earn a commission from the firm. We add nothing to the price you pay.

What the price buys
The cheapest $50K account at each prop firm
One row per firm, in ranking order: the lowest price it publishes for a $50K account, which sets its place in the ranking, and the programme that price buys. Prices marked /mo are billed monthly. Where a price is marked upfront, the programme also charges the fee shown under it after passing; the order uses the upfront price.

Prices are list prices before any discount code; current codes are on the Deals page. Activation fees charged on top: Topstep $149, DayTraders.com $5, Apex Trader Funding $99. Fees due after passing, before the funded account is issued: Atmos Funded $345. FTMO publishes no US dollar price for a $50K account, and Upcomers has no verified list price for one, only a price with a discount code, so they have no row here and come last in the ranking.

Questions about this ranking
What is the cheapest $50K prop firm account?
Published prices at this size run $5 upfront (plus $345 after passing) to $520 for a CFD evaluation, $50 to $1,190 for a one-time futures purchase, and $49 to $170 a month for a futures subscription. The ranking above is already ordered by each firm's lowest US dollar list price for a $50K account, so you do not need to sort the table. Firms without a US dollar list price at this size come after the firms that have one.
How much can I make on a $50K funded account?
That depends entirely on your returns, but the structural limits are worth knowing: a 6% target is $3,000, and several firms cap per-cycle withdrawals, so a strong month may take more than one payout cycle to clear.
