Show the evidence.
Keep the uncertainty.
A useful comparison should help you ask better questions before you pay for an evaluation.
One firm is not one set of rules.
Our unit of comparison is an exact plan, account size, configuration and funded route. A 50K label describes nominal account size or buying power. Drawdown allowance and the moving loss floor are the more relevant constraints.
Sources come before scores.
We use official plan pages, help centers and legal terms. Source links sit next to fees, evaluation conditions, funded rules and platform policies. Reviewed dates record when we checked a source. We do not label a company safe, solvent or payout-verified merely because its rules are documented.
Unknown is a valid answer.
Missing prices are not filled from old affiliate tables. Conflicting pages are flagged. Confirmed absence, such as no consistency condition, is different from an unresolved field. We prefer the page specific to a plan and purchase cohort, and retain material conflicts.
Our order is editorial, not a quality ranking.
Lucid, Tradeify and MyFundedFutures are the owner's stated favorites and the first research focus. That preference determines editorial coverage, not comparison scores. Alphabetical and fee ordering are available. The matcher applies the same constraints to every plan; commission status has no role.
Cost assumptions stay visible.
All price views come from one catalogue. The cost tool defaults to the recorded reference price. A fresh recorded offer can be selected explicitly; eligibility and later charges remain separate. A fee scenario adds explicit purchases, monthly charges, resets and one optional activation. It does not estimate your pass rate or turn a nominal balance into projected income.
Perpetuals are a separate comparison.
Vest is included at the owner's request. Its current product documentation describes perpetual derivatives rather than a CME futures route. Its different market, platform and contractual structure prevent a like-for-like futures ranking.
