Head to head · 33 criteria compared Alpha Capital Group wins this comparison (8 against 5). and its drawdown model is the more forgiving of the two and it pays out a larger share of profits, so the choice is not automatic.
Alpha Capital Group is a UK forex prop firm registered in 2021, running eight programs that span a $27 two-phase challenge through to accounts funded at purchase. The rulebook is permissive — news, weekend and overnight holding allowed, four platforms — but the tradable universe stops at forex, indices and metals, and Trustpilot has suspended the rating over fake reviews.
Criteria won: 8 / 33
Fintokei is a Czech prop firm launched in 2022 and backed by Purple Holding, the group behind broker Purple Trading, which supplies execution.

Choose Alpha Capital Group if… Choose Fintokei if… Alpha Capital Group is the only one of the two to offer dxtrade, tradelocker. Fintokei covers tradingview, which its rival does not. Platform choice is not cosmetic: order execution, available order types and the reliability of your automation all depend on it, and switching mid-evaluation is rarely possible.
Alpha Capital Group has been running since 2021, 1 years longer than Fintokei. Our trust pillar scores them 74/100 and 72/100, which weighs age, corporate transparency and public payout evidence. In an industry with no financial regulator overseeing these evaluations, longevity and a verifiable payout history are the closest thing to a guarantee.
Alpha Capital Group opens at $27 against $44 for Fintokei, a substantial gap on the smallest account. At the reference size of 100 K the comparison is $397 for Alpha Capital Group against $419 for Fintokei. The headline fee is rarely the real cost, though: what matters is the price of a reset after a failed attempt, whether the fee comes back on the first payout, and whether an activation fee appears when you move to a funded account. Compare those three lines in the table above before deciding on price alone.
Alpha Capital Group applies a trailing (end of day) drawdown capped at 4 %, with a 3 % daily limit. Fintokei applies a static drawdown capped at 6 %, with a 3 % daily limit. This is the single most consequential difference between the two. A static drawdown is measured once, from the starting balance, and never moves; a trailing drawdown follows your equity upward, so a winning streak raises the floor you can no longer fall below. Intraday trailing is stricter still, because it tracks unrealised peaks reached inside the session — profit you never actually banked can permanently raise your loss threshold.
Alpha Capital Group keeps 90 % of profits, then pays Bi-weekly or on demand (chosen at purchase); processed within 2 business days. Fintokei keeps 100 % of profits, allows a first withdrawal after 14 days, then pays Every 14 days. Payout frequency deserves as much attention as the split itself: a slightly lower share paid every two weeks compounds faster than a headline percentage locked behind a monthly cycle and a long first-withdrawal delay.
