Trust and longevity
Topstep has been running since 2012, 11 years longer than My Funded Futures. On Trustpilot they sit at 4.9/5 and 3.6/5 respectively. Our trust pillar scores them 83/100 and 80/100, 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.
Risk rules side by side
My Funded Futures applies a trailing (end of day) drawdown capped at 4 %. Topstep applies a trailing (end of day) drawdown capped at 4 %. Both use the same model, so the difference plays out on the percentages rather than on the mechanism.
Payout terms compared
My Funded Futures keeps 90 % of profits, allows a first withdrawal after 1 days, then pays Rapid: every 24 h (minimum $500); Builder: every 48 h; Pro: 14-day cycle (minimum $1,000, capped at $100,000 per cycle). Topstep keeps 90 % of profits, allows a first withdrawal after 5 days, then pays On request: Express Funded Standard after 5 winning days at $150+; Express Funded Consistency after 3 trading days with a 40% consistency target. 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
My Funded Futures is the only one of the two to offer tradingview, quantower, volumetrica. Topstep covers rithmic, 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.
