WHY THEPROPAUDIT
Built for traders,
not for firms.
Most prop firm comparison sites rank whoever pays the most. We don't. Here's every reason why ThePropAudit is different — and why it matters for your money.
THE DIFFERENCE
What sets us apart
Every point is verifiable. No marketing fluff.
Rankings cannot be bought
Every firm is scored on the same 5-dimension formula — rule simplicity, ROI potential, drawdown protection, payout speed, and verified user reviews. No firm can pay to improve their ranking.
Manually verified data
Our research team reviews every firm's rules, pricing, and payout terms each week. We do not accept self-reported data from firms — every data point is independently confirmed.
Verified purchaser reviews only
Reviews on ThePropAudit come exclusively from users who have confirmed purchases. No anonymous reviews, no seeded ratings. The score you see reflects real trader experience.
Full scoring transparency
Our entire scoring methodology is publicly documented — every weight, every formula, every data source. You can audit our rankings yourself. No black box.
Weekly price and rule updates
Evaluation fees, rule changes, payout splits — they shift constantly. We track every firm weekly so you always compare current data, not month-old screenshots.
Side-by-side plan comparison
Compare up to 4 plans across every metric simultaneously. Filter by account size, eval type, payout split, and more. Find the plan that fits your trading style — not the one with the biggest marketing budget.
PAYOUT SUPPORT
Firm denied your payout? We fight for you.
If a prop firm denies your payout and you have not broken any rules, you should not be left alone. We step in, speak directly to the firm on your behalf, and push for a fair resolution. No trader left behind — that's our commitment.
- We review your trade history and the firm's ruling
- We contact the firm directly and escalate through proper channels
- We publish outcomes publicly — firms are held accountable
SCAM WATCH
Prop firm scams, exposed.
Not every firm that sells evaluations intends to pay you out. We investigate, document, and publicly list firms that have shown patterns of withholding payouts, changing rules retroactively, or shutting down without warning.
These are no-go firms — your safety comes first. Reported regardless of affiliate status.
Payout Withholding
Firms that deny payouts without a rule violation — the most common abuse pattern.
Rule Manipulation
Retroactive rule changes introduced after a trader passes their evaluation.
Sudden Shutdowns
Firms that disappear with traders' evaluation fees and funded accounts.
Verified Safe
Firms with a consistent, documented history of on-time payouts and transparent rules.
FREE TOOLS
Built for traders
No account required. No paywall.
Evaluation Calculator
Check if your trading day violates the consistency rule before you place it. Avoid costly mistakes.
