Across this first-party census of 247 account-size configurations across 60 rule sets (44 firm names), 63 of 247 (25.5%) have a transcribed published evaluation sticker. 184 of 247 (74.5%) are unrecorded — not free. At $100,000, transcribed stickers span $189–$750 (3.97×, n=11). No pass-rate ranking. Free path: /app?src=research-prop-firm-fee-comparison.

The finding

Most evaluation stickers in this corpus are still unrecorded — and unrecorded is not free.

A missing published-fee record means we have not yet transcribed a published checkout number for that configuration. It does not mean the firm charges zero.

63of 247
Configurations with a transcribed published sticker. The other 184 are unrecorded.

Numbers first: 63 of 247 (25.5%) transcribed; 184 (74.5%) unrecorded — not free; at $100,000 stickers span $189–$750 (3.97×, n=11). Answer first: this is a first-party fee census from the verified rule corpus, not a pass-rate ranking and not PropSurvival's own product price list. Every figure below is computed from rules/** by the build script — never hand-typed on this page.

Key findings

1

63 of 247 configurations (25.5%) carry a transcribed sticker. That record is filled in when a dated firm source backs a number. Across those 63 rows the absolute range is $35–$8,600 (all account sizes).

2

184 of 247 (74.5%) are unrecorded, not free. Null or absent fees are coverage gaps in the transcription, not $0 challenges. Treating missing as free inverts the cost comparison.

3

At $100,000, transcribed stickers span $189–$750 (3.97×, n=11). Same nominal account size; published checkout prices still differ by nearly 3.97×. That is a sticker fact, not a claim about which evaluation is easier to pass.

4

The sticker is still only one attempt. Expected cost to get funded is fee ÷ your own pass probability — see are-prop-firm-challenges-worth-it. This page publishes the fee side of that equation where the corpus has it.

Why there are no pass rates here. A published sticker is a fact about a checkout page. A pass rate is a claim about outcomes under a rule set. We publish the first when sourced; we do not publish the second for any named firm. The free engine computes your own probability from your own statistics, locally.

Methodology

  • Corpus 60 rule-set directories, 44 firm names, 247 account-size JSON files under rules/<slug>/<size>.json (skips golden/ and archive/).
  • Generation Our build script reads those files at build time and emits both this page and prop-firm-fee-comparison-data.json, then verifies the output is byte-identical on every rebuild.
  • Recorded vs unrecorded Recorded means the published-fee record is a finite number. Unrecorded means it is null or absent. Unrecorded is never treated as $0.
  • $100k band The headline range uses only rows recorded at the $100,000 account size and a recorded fee — the common comparison size traders shop.
  • Limitations Stickers change without notice; each firm's live checkout is the authority. This page is a dated corpus snapshot (2026-09-11), not a live price API. It does not include PropSurvival product tiers ($29 / $49 / $99 / $249).

Frequently asked questions

How many prop-firm evaluation fees are published in this corpus?

63 of 247 account-size configurations (25.5%) carry a transcribed published sticker in the recorded evaluation-fee field. The other 184 (74.5%) are unrecorded — that is not the same as free.

What is the sticker range at a $100,000 account size?

Among 11 transcribed $100,000 configurations, published stickers span $189 to $750 (3.97×). This is a range of published prices, not a ranking of which evaluation is easier to pass.

Does an unrecorded fee mean the challenge is free?

No. Unrecorded means this corpus has not yet transcribed a published sticker for that configuration. Firms still charge; the field is null until a dated source backs a number.
