1. One firm paid out more than the next two combined
| # | Firm | Last 30 days | All-time verified | Payouts (all-time) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Tradeify | $46,732,195 | $428,786,513 | 219,652 |
| 2 | FundedNext | $17,639,893 | $337,178,378 | 237,014 |
| 3 | MyFundedFutures | $16,477,572 | $257,344,158 | 164,293 |
| 4 | Breakout | $6,413,425 | $75,799,254 | 50,233 |
| 5 | BlueGuardian | $5,234,505 | $37,425,725 | 23,692 |
| 6 | The5ers | $3,653,068 | $98,603,867 | 46,637 |
| 7 | FundingPips | $2,658,663 | $156,710,357 | 70,481 |
| 8 | AlphaCapitalGroup | $1,524,710 | $73,589,515 | 38,271 |
| 9 | TopOneFutures | $1,451,866 | $28,479,408 | 11,965 |
| 10 | MyFundedPerps | $1,431,723 | $1,564,718 | 3,640 |
| 11 | E8Markets | $1,348,967 | $46,405,494 | 15,423 |
| 12 | Propr | $1,178,808 | $3,525,263 | 6,246 |
| 13 | Hypernova | $920,554 | $2,226,118 | 1,984 |
| 14 | AquaFunded | $199,598 | $7,429,672 | 2,863 |
Tradeify's $46.7 million is 38% of everything Payout Junction verified across the whole market in those 30 days, and more than FundedNext and MyFundedFutures combined. The top three together account for 66%. Two of the three are futures firms, and the futures firms as a group (Tradeify, MyFundedFutures, TopOneFutures) produced 53% of the market's verified volume.
By lifetime count rather than volume, FundedNext leads the firms PropWorld tracks: 237,014 verified payouts.
2. The perps firms are young, and most of their history is the last 30 days
Five of the firms on PropWorld fund perpetual crypto futures; four of them are in the payout data (Vest Capital is not covered). Together the four paid out $9.9 million in 30 days, 8% of the market. What stands out is how much of their lifetime volume is recent:
- MyFundedPerps (founded 2026): $1.43M of its $1.56M lifetime total, 91%, was paid in the last 30 days.
- Hypernova: $0.92M of $2.23M, 41%.
- Propr (founded 2026): $1.18M of $3.53M, 33%.
- Breakout (founded 2023) is the established one: $6.4M in 30 days against $75.8M lifetime.
A short history cuts both ways. It is evidence that these firms pay, and it is too short to say anything about sustainability. The Payout Reliability Score reflects that: all four sit in the Moderate band.
3. Website traffic and verified payouts do not move together
Across the 18 firms, September 2026 brought about 56 million website visits (third-party estimates). The six largest audiences:
| Firm | Visits, Sep 2026 | Change vs Aug | Verified payouts, last 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| FTMO | 9.92M | +3.5% | not covered by Payout Junction |
| FundingPips | 9.28M | −22.6% | $2.66M |
| Lucid Trading | 8.32M | −13.3% | not covered by Payout Junction |
| FundedNext | 7.68M | +12.5% | $17.64M |
| Tradeify | 5.73M | +49.8% | $46.73M |
| Topstep | 4.37M | n/a | not covered by Payout Junction |
Two things to read carefully here. First, three of the six most visited firms are not in the payout data at all. Payout Junction verifies specific payout rails; FTMO, Lucid Trading and Topstep pay through channels it does not track. Their absence is a coverage gap, not evidence about whether they pay.
Second, FundingPips had the second-largest audience in September but ranks seventh by verified 30-day payouts, while Tradeify, with about 60% of FundingPips' traffic, paid out 17 times as much on the tracked rails. Part of that gap may also be coverage. Treat it as a question to ask a firm, not a verdict.
The biggest traffic movers month over month were E8Markets (+69%) and Tradeify (+50%) on the way up, and FundingPips (−23%), TopOneFutures (−19%) and BlueGuardian (−18%) on the way down.
4. Payout Reliability Score, October 2026
PRS is PropWorld's 0–100 score combining lifetime verified volume, 30-day payout count, audience size, momentum, the operator's rating and years on market. Formula version 2026-10-26; the full definition and its version history are on the methodology page.
| Firm | PRS | Band |
|---|---|---|
| Tradeify | 89 | Exceptional |
| FundedNext | 81 | Exceptional |
| MyFundedFutures | 79 | Strong |
| FundingPips | 70 | Strong |
| The5ers | 70 | Strong |
| AlphaCapitalGroup | 64 | Strong |
| Breakout | 63 | Strong |
| BlueGuardian | 60 | Strong |
| E8Markets | 59 | Moderate |
| TopOneFutures | 55 | Moderate |
| MyFundedPerps | 48 | Moderate |
| Propr | 46 | Moderate |
| AquaFunded | 45 | Moderate |
| Hypernova | 44 | Moderate |
FTMO, Topstep, Lucid Trading and Vest Capital have no PRS because they have no verified payout record in the source. PRS is reported as "not available" in that case, never as zero: "we have no data" and "they pay nothing" are different claims.
What this data is, and is not
- Payouts are tracked and verified by Payout Junction, an independent service. PropWorld republishes its totals, keeps them as a history, and links every firm to its source record. The verification is Payout Junction's, not PropWorld's. The source publishes totals, not individual transactions, so there is no distinct-trader count.
- Traffic figures are third-party monthly estimates of visits to each firm's public website. They are not the firms' own analytics and say nothing about trading volume or revenue.
- Coverage is deliberately partial. PropWorld lists the firms its operator trades with, not every prop firm. A firm's absence means nothing about that firm. Firms cannot pay to be added, removed or re-ranked.
- Some outbound links to firms are affiliate links. They never touch the numbers.
