Funded Trading Plus vs FundedNext: which prop firm is better in 2026?
FundedNext wins this comparison (6 against 5). and it pays out a larger share of profits, so the choice is not automatic.
Funded Trading Plus
Forex / CFD
A London firm founded in late 2021 and bought by Instant Funding in May 2026, Funded Trading Plus pays every 7 days on its 1-Step Express and Instant programs, with the split rising from 80 to 100% and scaling up to $5 million. The catch: intraday trailing drawdown on both, and a Trustpilot score the platform has pulled.
Criteria won : 5 / 33
FundedNext
Forex / CFD · Futures · Crypto · Trustpilot 4.5/5
On the forex and CFD side, FundedNext runs just two routes: Stellar 1-Step (10% target, 6% max loss) and Stellar 2-Step (8% then 5%, 10% max loss). Both use static drawdown, carry no deadline and come with refundable fees. Pricing is on the high side, and the headline 95% split needs a paid option — the contractual base is 80%.

Our analysis
Risk rules side by side
Funded Trading Plus applies a trailing intraday drawdown capped at 6 %, with a 4 % daily limit. FundedNext applies a static drawdown capped at 10 %, with a 5 % 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.
Payout terms compared
Funded Trading Plus keeps 100 % of profits, then pays Tous les 7 jours sur 1-Step Express et Instant ; tous les 10 jours sur 2-Step Classic. FundedNext keeps 95 % of profits, allows a first withdrawal after 5 days, then pays Stellar 1-Step : premier retrait apres 5 jours ouvres puis tous les 5 jours ouvres. Stellar 2-Step : premier retrait a 21 jours puis tous les 14 jours. 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.
Platforms and instruments
Funded Trading Plus is the only one of the two to offer dxtrade. FundedNext covers mt4, 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.
Trust and longevity
Funded Trading Plus has been running since 2021, 1 years longer than FundedNext. Our trust pillar scores them 74/100 and 81/100, 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.
Entry cost
FundedNext opens at $59.99 against $89 for Funded Trading Plus, a moderate gap on the smallest account. At the reference size of 100 K the comparison is $549 for Funded Trading Plus against $549.99 for FundedNext. 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.
