1-Step Daily 75/100 account scoreFast answer
This is a genuine trade-off. FundedSeat is $15 cheaper to start, but Earn2Trade scores 11 points higher (86 vs 75). And both use end-of-day trailing drawdown, so the day-to-day risk model feels the same, which can matter more than the score gap depending on how you trade.

The short version
What actually separates them
4 fields on the record split Earn2Trade and FundedSeat — the three that change how you trade are here. Everything else either matches or is not on the record yet.
A consistency cap limits how much of your total profit one day may contribute, so a single outsized winner can delay a payout.
A daily loss limit ends the session, not the account — but it decides how many attempts a bad open costs you.
Entry cost for the cheapest account each firm sells, before any live discount.
Identical on both: drawdown model.
Not comparable yet: minimum days to a first payout — at least one of the two firms has no figure on record, so we do not draw a conclusion from it. A blank here means we have not confirmed the rule, not that the firm has none.

A “tie” means both firms publish the same answer. “No data” means one of them has no figure on record for that category, so there is nothing to compare — it is never a point against either firm. “No single rule” means a firm’s plans do not share one rule in our record, so there is no firm-level rule to compare.
Buyer guide

- Risk model: end-of-day trailing drawdown, daily loss limit Plan-specific, on 4 of 5 plans on sale that we list. Confirm it fits how you size trades.
- Our record does not hold one consistency rule for every FundedSeat plan, so check the plan you would buy before you plan around one big day.
- Payouts: 90/10 on six of the seven routes; 1-Step Daily Ultra pays 80/20, Daily payout requests on Daily, Daily Pro, and Daily Ultra; Flex pays on a 4-day cycle; Bolt and Sprint go daily from the second payout. Each request is capped per model and size (for example $500 on a 25K 1-Step Daily, $750 on a 25K Flex), so a large winning day is withdrawn over several requests rather than one.

Both firms sit at 0 logged status issues, so status issues are level in this matchup.

Where each firm is stronger
Each side shows the plan whose score is that firm's grade.
A dash means the factor is not scored for that plan: we have not recorded the evidence it needs, such as the firm's founding year or enough of the plan's rules. Its weight moves to the factors that are scored rather than counting as a zero.
