The short answer
Atlas Funded is the choice for traders seeking the lowest entry prices, a unique gamified reward system, and a payout speed guarantee. FunderPro stands out for offering cTrader and a clear scaling path up to $5 million, though at a higher cost.
Where they actually differ
- Price (Determinant): Atlas Funded is significantly cheaper. A $100k 2-step account costs $443 at Atlas versus $539 at FunderPro. Even the 1-step $100k is $478 at Atlas against $539 at FunderPro.
- Risk Rules (Atlas Protector): Atlas Funded has a unique "Atlas Protector" rule: if you hit a 2% net floating loss on a funded account, your profit split is permanently cut to 50%. FunderPro does not penalize floating losses this way, sticking to traditional drawdown limits.
- Platforms: FunderPro offers cTrader, MetaTrader 5, and TradeLocker. Atlas Funded provides MetaTrader 5, TradeLocker, and MatchTrader.
- Payouts (Guarantee): Atlas Funded guarantees payouts within 24–48 working hours; if they are late, they pay you an extra $1,000 ($500 with that payout and $500 with the next). FunderPro offers no such financial guarantee, though they offer a paid add-on to reduce the payout wait to 7 days.
- Consistency Rules: FunderPro enforces a consistency rule (max daily profit 15% to 45% of total) on almost all plans. Atlas Funded only applies consistency rules to its Instant and Access programs, leaving the standard 1-step and 2-step evaluations free of them.
- Trading Styles: FunderPro requires a "Swing Add-On" to hold trades over the weekend or trade news on funded accounts. Atlas Funded allows weekend holding by default but has a strict 3-minute minimum hold time rule (profits from shorter trades are deducted).
Where they are basically the same
- Risk: Both firms use a 30-day inactivity rule that closes the account if no trade is placed.
- Payout Methods: Both use Rise and Crypto (USDT/ERC20) as their primary withdrawal channels.
- Platforms: Both offer MetaTrader 5 and TradeLocker as core options.
- Styles: Both strictly prohibit latency arbitrage, high-frequency trading (HFT), and hedging across different accounts or firms.
