About PropKoala

Independent prop firm comparison. No fluff.

Built for futures and forex traders who want the real numbers.

Why we built this

Every other prop firm comparison site shows you the eval price and calls it the cost to get funded. It isn't. Activation fees, subscription models, and reset costs can double or triple what you actually pay. We built PropKoala to surface the real total cost to funded, activation fees and all, so you can compare firms on a level playing field.

We also flag drawdown type clearly, because EOD drawdown and intraday trailing drawdown are fundamentally different products. A $100 eval with a trailing intraday drawdown is a harder pass than a $200 eval with EOD. Most comparison sites don't mention this. We think it's one of the most important things a trader should know before buying a challenge.

How we make money

PropKoala earns affiliate commissions when you click through to a prop firm and make a purchase. This is how the site is funded. It does not affect our rankings, our data, or our analysis, firms are sorted by verified total cost to funded, not by commission rate.

We only list firms we believe are legitimate and operating. We flag firms with known issues using a warning status, and remove closed firms from the comparison table.

Data accuracy

Prop firm pricing, rules and profit splits change frequently, sometimes weekly. We verify every figure against each firm's official pricing page and note the date each record was last checked. If you spot an error, please contact us and we'll update it.

All data on PropKoala is provided for informational purposes only. Always verify current pricing and rules directly with the prop firm before purchasing a challenge. Trading involves substantial risk of loss.

Who we are

PropKoala is an independent website run by a small team of traders and developers. We are not affiliated with any prop firm. We are not financial advisors. We're traders who got tired of opaque pricing and built the comparison tool we wished existed.
