FundedSeat vs Traders Launch

The short version

What actually separates them

2 fields on the record split FundedSeat and Traders Launch. Everything else either matches or is not on the record yet.

Identical on both: drawdown model, activation fee.

Not comparable yet: daily loss limit, minimum days to a first payout, trader profit split — 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.

Buyer guide

Which one should you choose?

Fig. 02 — Score breakdown

Where each firm is stronger

A dash means the factor is unscored for that firm — the evidence it needs (a founding year, a public review sample) is not on record, so its weight moves to the factors that do have evidence rather than counting as a zero.

Fig. 03 — Same size, side by side

Compared at a $100,000 account

A bigger max drawdown gives more room; a lower profit target is easier to clear. A dash means that figure is not on record at this size, so no checkmark is awarded either way. Review the exact figures for your selected account.

Fig. 04 — The tale of the tape

Head-to-head

Checkmarks flag the objectively better value (higher score/reputation, older firm, lower price/fee) and are only awarded when both firms have that figure on record — “Not recorded” never loses a row. Rules are shown side by side without a “winner” because the best choice depends on your strategy.
