115 programmes · 26 firms

Prop firms without an activation fee (as of Oct 2026)

Criterion: The firm explicitly states no activation fee.

115 programmes from 26 firms (492 account sizes)

With some programmes, often futures ones, an activation fee for the simulated account is added after you pass.

Listed are challenges for which the firm explicitly states no activation fee. If nothing is recorded, the challenge does not appear, even if it may have none.

Compare total costs: a monthly subscription can cost more over several months than a one-time fee.

Not a recommendation: this list filters by the stated rule only. It says nothing about whether a challenge suits you, and it is not investment advice.

115 programmes from 26 firms (492 account sizes)

Sorted by name. There is no ranking.

For 272 more challenges a value the criterion needs is not confirmed; they are left out until the firm confirms it.

  10. 10The list price is the one-time fee ("One Time Fee") that, per the tooltip, activates the account; Finotive names no separate activation fee.
  11. 11Per the FAQ the one-time fee is the only fee, with no other hidden costs. A trading commission is charged inside the simulated account: FX USD 3 per side and lot (USD 6 round trip), metals USD 6 per order per the symbol table; indices, oil and crypto commission-free.
  12. 12The price list states a one-time fee; the plan data holds no activation fee for this programme. An activation fee after passing exists only in the Pay After Pass model.

  19. 19Per the Ignite overview "one-time fees with no monthly or activation charges".
  20. 20Per the help centre an activation fee is due after passing the evaluation, and only for Elite, Elite ACCESS and Elite ACCESS Intraday; per the overview Instant has no evaluation, you get immediate access to the sim “funded” account.
