Lowest figure on this board at $19, but that is a floor, not the bill. Lower bound — this is the plan's cheapest tier, not its $5,000 price; no activation fee on record.

Cost to funded is the entry price plus the activation fee for one clean pass. A ≥ marks a floor: the least the account could cost, because something the total needs is not on record — most often a 5K price, where a firm advertises a single figure “from” its smallest balance. Reset fees are listed separately and are not in the total, since a clean pass buys none. Recurring charges — monthly activation, platform and market-data fees — are not modelled here at all; check them at the firm.

Figures come from the 5K account types tracked above and update as the data changes. Cost figures count entry plus activation only, and a floor is quoted where the price on record belongs to a smaller balance. Always review the current price and rules on the firm’s own site before choosing an account.
Buyer guide
How to choose a 5K prop firm account
Rank on true cost
A 5K evaluation's advertised price is the entry ticket. Activation fees to open the funded account — sometimes billed monthly — and reset fees after a restart decide the real bill. This page sorts by cost to a clean pass, entry plus activation, so a low headline price stays tied to the full funded-path cost.
Where a firm publishes one price "from" for a whole range of balances, that figure belongs to its smallest account, and the True cost column shows it as a floor — written ≥ — rather than as the 5K price. A floor can only be lower than the real bill, so treat it as the least you could pay and confirm the 5K price on the firm's own checkout.
What the 5K drawdown really means
At $5,000, the difference between a static and a trailing drawdown is worth real money. The Drawdown column shows the dollar loss limit for the 5K size specifically, and the score weights a static or end-of-day-trailing model above an intraday trail, because an intraday trail on a 5K account can end your evaluation on an open-trade spike you never closed into.
Match the size to your risk, then to your wallet
A bigger balance gives more buying power and a bigger drawdown to manage. If you are still proving consistency, a cheaper smaller account you can afford to reset may fit better than a 5K account you can only fund once. Use the Best rules and Best value badges to weigh pass-friendliness against price before you commit.
Common questions
5K accounts, answered.
These pages are filters, not blanket recommendations. Open the firm review, compare the exact 5K account, then check the current terms through the offer link.
What is the cheapest 5K prop firm account?
The cheapest clean pass we can price at the 5K size is $20 — entry plus activation, on a plan whose published price is for the 5K balance itself. Rows priced "from" a smaller account show a floor instead, because that price is not a 5K price.
Does a 5K account cost more than a smaller one?
Usually, yes — a larger balance carries a higher evaluation price and a larger drawdown to defend. Whether it is worth it depends on your position size and how confident you are of passing on the first attempt.
How is the 5K drawdown calculated?
The Drawdown column is the maximum loss in dollars for the 5K size as published by each firm, and the drawdown type (static, end-of-day trailing, or intraday trailing) shows how that limit moves as your balance grows.
Why is a watch-status firm on this list?
A firm can appear when it offers this size. Watch or review status is reflected in the score and labelled on its row so you can open the firm review before choosing an account.
