Cheapest Futures Prop Firms
The cheapest prop firm isn't the one with the lowest sticker price. It's the one with the lowest total cost to a funded account, once activation fees and monthly billing are counted.
Bulenox Momentum 50K is $143 one-time at list price with free activation, one of the lowest list totals to a funded account among the firms we track.

Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest futures prop firm?
At list price, Bulenox Momentum has one of the lowest totals to a funded account because it's a one-time fee with free activation. Promo codes can make other firms cheaper in a given month.
Are monthly subscription prop firms cheaper?
Only if you pass quickly. Each extra month adds the subscription fee again, so a one-time plan is often cheaper if you take more than a month or two.
Do discount codes apply to activation fees?
Usually not. Most prop firm codes discount the evaluation only, so the activation fee is added on top.
