Dolvero and FundedNext at a glance

Updated on

The short answer

FundedNext is an established giant (2022) offering much cheaper entry points through its "Lite" accounts and superior platform variety (cTrader, TradingView). Dolvero is a 2025 newcomer with a very strict 2% risk-per-trade rule and a focus exclusively on MT5.

Where they actually differ

  • Platforms (Tech): FundedNext offers MT4, MT5, cTrader, MatchTrader, and TradingView. Dolvero is restricted to MetaTrader 5 only.
  • Pricing (Price): FundedNext is significantly cheaper for a $100k evaluation. Its Stellar Lite account costs $399.99, whereas Dolvero’s 2-Step $100k account costs $549.
  • Risk Management (Risk): Dolvero enforces a hard 2% realized loss limit per trade idea (breaching this fails the account). FundedNext has a more flexible 3% maximum risk limit and does not fail you for individual trade sizing unless you hit the overall drawdown.
  • Payout Speed (Payout): FundedNext offers payouts every 5 business days (Stellar 1-Step) or even every 3 days with specific rewards. Dolvero’s fastest cycle is every 14 days.
  • EA and VPN Policy (Styles): Dolvero requires prior approval (24–48h) for any EA and strictly prohibits VPNs. FundedNext allows EAs and VPNs, though they require a specific paid add-on.
  • Late Payout Guarantee (Payout): If they miss the 24-hour processing window, Dolvero adds a 10% bonus to your payout, while FundedNext pays a flat $1,000 extra.

Where they are basically the same

  • Risk Rules: Both use a mix of static (2-step) and trailing (Instant) drawdowns depending on the plan.
  • Payout Styles: Both offer profit splits starting at 80% (upgradable to 90% or 95%).
  • Styles Permitted: Both firms prohibit tick scalping, arbitrage, and martingale.
  • News Trading: Both restrict news trading by default (Dolvero via time windows, FundedNext via profit caps) unless add-ons are purchased.

Pick this one if

Dolvero

  • You want a firm with a guaranteed 10% bonus if your payout is late.
  • You prefer a smaller, newer firm where you can request a free trial via support.
  • You are comfortable with a strict 2% risk-per-trade limit to force discipline.

FundedNext

  • You want to trade on cTrader or TradingView.
  • You are looking for the lowest possible price for a $100k account (Stellar Lite).
  • You want to receive your profits as often as every 3 to 5 days.
  • You live in a country where Dolvero might not have a presence (FundedNext is a massive operation).

Frequently asked questions

Which firm is cheaper for a $100k 2-step evaluation, Dolvero or FundedNext?

FundedNext is cheaper. Its "Stellar Lite" 2-step $100k account costs $399.99, while its standard "Stellar 2-Step" costs $549.99. Dolvero’s $100k 2-Step evaluation is priced at $549, making FundedNext’s Lite option the most budget-friendly choice.

Does Dolvero or FundedNext offer more trading platforms?

FundedNext offers significantly more variety, providing MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader, MatchTrader, and TradingView. In contrast, Dolvero currently only supports MetaTrader 5, limiting traders who prefer alternative interfaces.

Which firm has a faster payout cycle, Dolvero or FundedNext?

FundedNext is faster. It allows payouts every 5 business days on its Stellar 1-Step accounts and has a 3-day performance reward option for other plans. Dolvero requires a minimum of 14 days between payouts for all its funded accounts.

Are EAs allowed on both Dolvero and FundedNext?

Yes, but with different restrictions. Dolvero requires you to send your EA for manual approval, which takes 24 to 48 hours, before you can use it. FundedNext allows EAs more freely, but you must purchase a specific "EA Add-on" during the checkout process to use them.
