Calculators and compare tools — use them before checkout
These tools exist so a “90% off” banner cannot hide activation fees, resets or trailing drawdown. Free to use. When a button sends you to a firm, it is marked #ad.
True cost calculator
Enter evaluation price, activation and reset (or a full rebuy). See the all-in number for a first-try pass vs one failed attempt — the same math we publish on firm pages.
Side-by-side compare tool
Pick two firms and scan price, stop type, consistency and payout notes on one screen. Built for the same “duel” workflow as the homepage — with room for every fee field we track.
Find your prop firm
Answer a handful of questions on style, budget and risk. Get a shortlist ranked by fit — partners are labelled; commissions do not reorder the logic.
Detailed firm matcher
Longer questionnaire when the quick quiz is not enough — useful if you already know you want EOD vs intraday or a no-activation path.
Partner deals & codes
Live TRUECOST / TRUECO / use partner link deals, plus Lumen’s public LUMEN60 where verified ($373 → $149.20 on the 50K we last checked). Always confirm the total at checkout.
Charting & order-flow software
Bookmap, TradingView, Tradervana and copy-trading tools we use or review — with partner links only where we actually have them.
Before-you-buy checklist
Ten checks that catch trailing drawdown surprises, consistency caps and payout delays before money leaves your card.
Glossary
Plain-English definitions for the terms on every firm card — so “EOD trail” and “true cost” stop sounding like marketing.
