Score/100

Verdict

Set up in 2023 by a Dutch team and operated out of Dubai, BrightFunded keeps its rulebook short: no consistency rule, no time limit, static drawdown on both 2-Step plans. The model leans instead on paid add-ons — fee refund, 90% split, waived minimum days — and the first payout only lands 30 days after the first trade.

Suits traders who want a rulebook free of consistency traps, a static drawdown and a path to a 100% split, and who accept paying for each option separately. Less appealing if you want an all-in price: without add-ons the split stays at 80%, the fee is gone and the first withdrawal waits 30 days.

Pros

No consistency rule and no time limit across the three programs, so trade pacing is entirely your own.
Static drawdown of 8% on 2-Step Bright and 10% on 2-Step Classic, measured against the starting balance.
Leverage is identical in evaluation and funded stages: 1:100 forex, 1:40 gold, 1:20 indices, 1:5 crypto.
The 80% starting split scales to 100% through the Trade2Earn program, with no minimum withdrawal amount.
A 15% evaluation profit bonus is credited to the next funded account once you hit 10% growth and a first payout.

Cons

Challenge fees are refundable only if you buy the paid "100% Challenge Fee Refund" add-on.
The 1-Step program applies a 6% real-time trailing drawdown, markedly harsher than the static 2-Step models.
The first payout comes 30 days after the first trade; weekly and bi-weekly cadences are paid add-ons.
Trustpilot suspended the rating on 28 August 2026 for guideline breaches after removing fraudulent reviews from the 558 published.
Pricing is published in euros for the 2-Step Bright plan only, and MT5 is unavailable to US and UAE residents.
