Cheapest Prop Firm Challenges (2026)
Prop firms ranked by the lowest discounted entry price for an evaluation account (FundedEnigma code applied). The Enigma Score is shown so cheapest never means lowest quality blindly.
Last updated: November 2, 2026 · How the Enigma Score works
Bottom line
As of November 1, 2026, the cheapest prop firm challenge is For Traders, with a discounted evaluation from $7.65 using code QE5P2WV3L5. Cheapest isn’t automatically best — the Enigma Score next to each price flags firms where a low fee comes with weak rules or payouts, so weigh both before buying.

Cheap entry fee vs. cheap true cost
The headline evaluation price is only part of the cost. Add the activation fee charged on the funded account, the likelihood you’ll need a reset or second attempt, and any platform/data fees. A $99 challenge with a $150 activation fee can cost more than a $129 challenge with none.
This list sorts by the lowest discounted entry price so you can find the cheapest way in, but the Enigma Score column is there to stop “cheapest” from meaning “worst value.” For the deepest percentage discounts specifically, see the biggest-discounts list linked below.
Who should buy the cheapest challenge
A low-cost challenge is ideal if you’re testing a new firm or strategy and want to limit downside on a likely-failed first attempt. If you’re confident and consistent, a slightly pricier firm with a higher profit split and faster payouts often wins over the full funded lifecycle.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the cheapest prop firm challenge?
- The lowest discounted evaluation price (with the FundedEnigma code) and the firm offering it are shown at the top of the table on this page, updated daily. The Enigma Score is listed alongside so you can judge quality, not just price.
- Does a cheaper challenge mean lower quality?
- Not necessarily — but it can. A low fee paired with a low Enigma Score often signals strict rules or unreliable payouts. Compare the price and the score together before buying.
- What hidden costs should I check?
- Activation fees on the funded account, reset/retry fees, and platform or market-data fees. Budget roughly 1.5–2× the headline price to cover a likely reset on the evaluation path.
- How do I get the lowest price?
- Use the FundedEnigma code shown next to the firm at checkout to apply its current discount at no extra cost. Prices on this page refresh daily so the ranking reflects today’s live deals.
How FundedEnigma ranks these firms
This ranking is ordered by the Enigma Score — a transparent, data-driven 0–100 rating built from each firm’s true all-in cost, payout reliability, drawdown fairness and trust signals. The exact inputs and weights are published in full on the methodology page; placement cannot be bought.
Firm data is captured original-source-first from each firm’s official website, with Trustpilot used for aggregate review signals, and refreshed daily — so the prices and discounts above stay current within 24 hours. Every customer-facing number is reviewed before it goes live.
Editorial independence & affiliate disclosure. FundedEnigma earns a commission when a trader signs up using code FE, which passes through the firm’s own currently-running public discount at no extra cost to you.
