Cost: two kinds of one-time fee

Both firms sell one-time evaluations, but the clocks differ. An Apex evaluation expires 30 calendar days after purchase, with no extensions or resets; a failed or expired attempt means a new purchase. Its Standard versions add an activation fee after you pass, and its No Activation Fee versions do not. MFFU charges once and never charges to activate: a Builder 50K costs $153, the Add-On $125. MFFU's one-time accounts carry a seven-day inactivity rule, so an account with no trade for seven calendar days can be closed. The evaluation cost calculator works through the arithmetic for any number of attempts.

Drawdown and daily limits

Apex lets you choose the drawdown model at purchase and keeps it in the funded account. Its EOD evaluation adds a $1,000 daily loss limit that pauses the session; its intraday evaluation has none. MFFU fixes the model by plan: Builder is end of day throughout, while Rapid is end of day in the evaluation and intraday trailing once funded, until the floor locks $100 above the start. The difference is explained in EOD vs intraday drawdown; daily limits in daily loss limit prop firm.

Consistency: evaluation or payouts

Apex has no consistency rule to pass, but every funded payout needs your best day under 50% of the profit since the last payout. MFFU Builder works the same way, with 50% on every payout cycle. MFFU Rapid is the reverse: a 50% rule to pass and none once funded. The general idea is on the prop firm consistency rule page.

Payouts: 100% capped, 90/10 daily or 80/20 laddered

Apex pays 100% of each approved payout, after every 5 qualifying days. On a 50K EOD account the six payout caps run from $1,500 to $3,000, and the account closes after the sixth payout. Only profit above the $52,100 safety net can be requested. MFFU Rapid pays daily at 90/10 once the $2,100 buffer is cleared. MFFU Builder pays 80/20 every 48 hours, caps each payout at $2,000 and moves you to a live account with Blue Row Capital after the fifth approved simulated payout. The minimum request is $500 at both firms.

Worked example: $3,000 of profit on a 50K funded account

  • Apex, first payout on an EOD account. Your balance is $53,000, above the $52,600 needed to request. Only profit above the $52,100 safety net is eligible, so you can request up to $900 once you have 5 days of $250 or more and no day of $1,500 or more. At 100% you receive $900.
  • MFFU Rapid. $3,000 is above the $2,100 buffer, so you can request a payout 24 hours after your first funded trade. A $500 request pays $450 at 90/10.
  • MFFU Builder. The first payout needs $2,600: the $2,100 buffer plus $500. At $3,000 you qualify after 2 qualifying days, as long as no day brought half the cycle's profit. A $500 request pays $400 at 80/20.

Who each firm suits

  • Apex fits a trader who wants a choice of drawdown model, no consistency rule to pass, 100% of each payout and several accounts at once. The trade-offs: a 30-day clock, an activation fee unless you buy the No Activation Fee version, six capped payouts per account and a consistency check on every payout.
  • MyFundedFutures fits a trader who wants no activation fee on any plan and a wider platform list. Rapid suits daily payouts at 90/10, if you can live with an intraday trailing floor once funded. Builder suits a fast pass and a set route to a live account, at 80/20 with capped payouts.

Firm by firm, the full rules are on Apex Trader Funding rules, Apex payout rules, MyFundedFutures rules and MyFundedFutures payout rules. Changes to either firm are logged in the rule change log; see also Apex vs Topstep and Topstep vs MyFundedFutures.

Know the riskBoth firms sell paid evaluations traded in simulation. Most people who buy one do not pass, payouts come from each firm's own funds under its terms, and firms change rules, pause payouts and close. Not investment advice.
