The split
Both firms start with a standard 80% profit split. However, their paths to increasing this share differ:
- FunderPro: You can purchase a 90/10 profit split add-on for Classic and One-Phase challenges.
- Goat Funded Trader: Offers a scaling plan through four levels. Achieving Level 4 (after 15 successful payouts) grants a 95% split. Additionally, you can buy a 100% profit split add-on for evaluation accounts.
How often you can withdraw
Speed is a priority for both, but the cycles vary:
- FunderPro: The standard is bi-weekly (every 14 days). You can buy an add-on to receive the first reward in just 7 days. Payouts are typically processed within 8 to 24 hours.
- Goat Funded Trader: Standard evaluations are bi-weekly. Instant accounts (Goat and Premium) allow withdrawals every 10 days, while Instant HERO is every 14 days. They offer a $500 guarantee if a payout takes longer than 2 business days.
Minimums and methods
- Minimum amount: Both firms require a minimum of $100 to request a payout.
- Methods: FunderPro uses Rise and Crypto. Goat Funded Trader is more flexible, offering Bank Transfer, Rise, and Crypto.
- Withdrawal Limits: Goat Funded Trader limits the first two rewards to a maximum of 6% of the initial account balance. FunderPro does not have a specific percentage cap on withdrawals.
What delays a payout
Several rules can postpone or invalidate your earnings:
- Consistency Rules: FunderPro applies a 40% max daily profit rule to One-Phase and 45% to Pro challenges. Goat Funded Trader is stricter, with a 15% to 20% consistency rule on most Instant accounts.
- News Trading: FunderPro restricts news trading on funded accounts unless you have the "Swing Add-on." Goat Funded Trader allows it but caps profits from news events at 1% of the account balance.
- Execution Rules: Goat Funded Trader will remove any profits from trades open for less than 2 minutes (scalping restriction). FunderPro allows scalping without this specific time constraint.
- Inactivity: Both firms will fail your account after 30 days of inactivity.
What it takes to get there
The cost and effort to reach the first payout depend on your choice of evaluation:
- Price (100k Account): FunderPro charges $539 for a Classic 2-step. Goat Funded Trader ranges from $365 (3-step) to $478 (2-step Goat) or $628 (2-step Standard).
- Drawdown: FunderPro uses Fixed Drawdown on challenge accounts (10% max), which is much safer for the trader. Goat Funded Trader uses Static Drawdown on its step programs (6% to 10% depending on the plan).
- Platforms: FunderPro offers MT5, cTrader, and TradeLocker. Goat Funded Trader adds MatchTrader and Volumetrica to that list.
- Trading Style: FunderPro allows EAs (if owned by you) and requires the Swing add-on for weekend holding. Goat Funded Trader allows weekend holding by default but prohibits VPN usage.
Which pays out more comfortably
FunderPro pays out more comfortably for traders who want a "cleaner" path. Its fixed drawdown on challenges means your buffer doesn't disappear as you make profit, and it lacks the restrictive "2-minute trade" rule found at Goat.
Goat Funded Trader is better for high-volume traders who can navigate consistency rules and want the highest possible payout (up to 100% with add-ons) or those who prefer platforms like MatchTrader and Volumetrica.
