The5ers opens at $39 against $44 for Fintokei, a moderate gap on the smallest account. At the reference size of 100 K the comparison is $419 for Fintokei against $545 for The5ers. 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.
Fintokei applies a static drawdown capped at 6 %, with a 3 % daily limit. The5ers applies a static drawdown capped at 10 %, with a 5 % daily limit. Both use the same model, so the difference plays out on the percentages rather than on the mechanism.
Fintokei keeps 100 % of profits, allows a first withdrawal after 14 days, then pays Every 14 days. The5ers keeps 100 % of profits, allows a first withdrawal after 14 days, then pays First withdrawal 14 days after the funded account is granted, then every two weeks; minimum withdrawal $150. 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.
