A short profile of each
The5ers
The5ers has been operating for about ten years and is registered in Israel and the UK. What it's best known for is a very low starting price, with accounts from $2,500. Its main product is High Stakes, a 2-Step challenge; beside it sit two 1-Step programs, Hyper Growth and Pro Growth, and a cheap 3-Step called Bootcamp.
FundingPips
FundingPips started in Dubai in 2022 and has become one of the biggest prop firms around. It offers five models: one 1-Step, three versions of the 2-Step, and Zero, an account that's funded straight away with no evaluation. The interesting part is that you decide how often to get paid, and the less often you withdraw, the bigger the share you keep.
