The5ers vs FundingPips — Which Should You Pick in 2026?

The5ers is cheaper to start: its cheapest challenge lists at $19 versus $29 at FundingPips — about 34% less before discount codes.

The5ers: Min withdrawal $250; payout cap per cycle $1,000 on the $50K, $2,000 on the $100K, $3,000 on the $200K — FundingPips: Weekly 60%, Bi-Weekly 80% or On Demand 100%, chosen once when the account reaches Master and fixed after that; minimum request 1% of the account size · Bi-weekly 80% or 95% (chosen at purchase, locked); the 95% split needs 3 profitable days >=0.5% per cycle and the counter resets after every reward. On Demand 100% is also available. Always confirm the current payout policy on the firm's official terms before buying.

The5ers: High Stakes, Pro Growth and Hyper Growth have no best-day rule. Summer Plan: best day must be 50% or less of total profit (winning trades only) in both stages of the 1-Step, only once funded on the 2-Step; going over does not fail the account, you keep trading until it is met, and the count resets after each payout. High Stakes (to pass each step and to scale; the FAQ edited 30 Oct 2026 adds payout requests) and Pro Growth Step 1 require 3 profitable days of at least 0.5% of the initial balance. FundingPips: None on the bi-weekly cycles of 1 Step Flex and 2 Step Flex, on 2 Step Pro's weekly 80% cycle, or on 2 Step's weekly 60% and bi-weekly 80% cycles. A 35% consistency score applies to the On Demand 100% cycle on every evaluation model, which also needs 7 profitable days of at least 0.5%. Zero runs the tightest rule on the board: a 15% cap, meaning your biggest winning day may not exceed 15% of cumulative profit - a soft rule that blocks the reward request rather than closing the account. A consistency rule caps how much of your total profit one day may contribute — a real constraint if your profit comes in bursts.

The5ers: code N9BKR (Discount not confirmed yet; check the total at checkout); FundingPips: code FHFUNDED (20% off every purchase, new and returning customers (Diwali sale until 9 Nov)). Codes rotate — N9BKR and FHFUNDED are our own codes, issued to us by the firms, so they carry no check date; every other code on this site is re-checked against the firm's own site on a rolling cycle, and a code checked in the last 30 days shows that date.

The5ers: Allowed on all CFD programs (High Stakes, Pro/Hyper Growth, Bootcamp, Summer Plan); not on Futures, where algorithmic trading, high-frequency trading and hedging are forbidden. FundingPips: Self-developed EA: full automation allowed with proof of ownership (source code, version-control history, development-environment evidence, or explaining the logic on a live call - a compiled binary alone is not proof). Third-party EA: permitted only as a trade or risk manager, never to fully automate - any other use means denial of the evaluation or reward and account closure. Exceptions: 1K Instant allows third-party EAs and copiers including full automation; Monthly Competition bans all EAs. HFT remains a forbidden strategy on every model. Automation rules change more often than prices — confirm the current policy in the firm's terms before you deploy a bot on a paid account.
