Skip the activation fee. These prop firms charge nothing extra when you pass and move to a funded account.
Ready public-evidence plans are sorted ahead of partial or unavailable plans when possible, and missing public fields cannot look favorable in the ranking.
This ranking uses topic metric with estimated model inputs. Numeric output can run, but at least one input is an explicit assumption or legacy fallback rather than confirmed ordinary public evidence.
Informational comparison from ordinary public product/help/rule material. Missing public values stay visible as blockers instead of being treated as neutral.
Primary model note: rankings prioritize rule-derived difficulty, economic friction, constraints, and trader fit from ordinary public product/rule evidence; EV/pass probability are secondary scenario comparison estimates.
Rule-derived ranking blocked by missing public fields: fee_monthly|fee_onetime.

An activation fee is a one-time charge (typically $99-$149) paid after passing the evaluation to activate your funded account.
Several firms including E8, Lucid, and Tradeify charge $0 activation. Others waive it with specific promo codes.
Activation fees range from $99 to $149 at most firms. This cost is on top of the evaluation fee and should be factored into your total cost.
