The real cost of FXIFY and WhitePips

FXIFY is generally the cheaper option for traders looking for low entry fees and commission-free trading, whereas WhitePips charges a premium upfront but offers a faster path to weekly cash flow. While FXIFY allows you to start for less through its multi-phase programs, WhitePips includes unique benefits like monthly salaries on specific accounts that can offset its higher costs.

Entry price

The cost of starting a challenge varies significantly depending on the structure you choose. FXIFY offers more aggressive pricing for those willing to pass more phases, while WhitePips maintains a higher price floor across the board.

  • 100k Account (2 Steps): FXIFY costs $549 (Classic/Standard) compared to $597 at WhitePips (Edge).
  • 100k Account (1 Step): FXIFY costs $549 while WhitePips rises to $646.
  • Cheapest Entry: FXIFY allows you to access a 100k account for just $399 via its 3-Phase program.
  • Refunds: FXIFY refunds the fee on the first payout for 1, 2, and 3-phase accounts. WhitePips only refunds fees on Prime accounts after 30 days of being funded and in profit; Edge and Instant accounts are non-refundable.

What you pay while trading

Trading costs can erode your profit split before you even request a withdrawal. FXIFY provides more flexibility for different strategies, while WhitePips has a fixed overhead on every trade.

  • Commissions: FXIFY offers an "All-In" feed with $0 commission on Forex, metals, and indices. Their "Raw" feed costs $6 per lot. WhitePips charges $5 per lot on Edge/Instant and $4 on Prime.
  • Crypto Costs: FXIFY charges a 0.07% round-trip fee. WhitePips charges 0.06% on Edge and 0.045% on Prime.
  • Platform Access: FXIFY includes TradingView, MT4, MT5, and DXTrade at no extra cost. WhitePips is limited to MT5.
  • Swap Fees: FXIFY does not offer swap-free accounts. WhitePips sells swap-free access as a paid add-on, ranging from $9 to $146 depending on account size.

What mistakes cost you

In prop trading, a mistake usually costs you the entire account. The "cost" here is measured by how much room the firm gives you to be wrong.

  • Drawdown Type: WhitePips uses static drawdown on all plans, which is economically "cheaper" for the trader as the loss limit doesn't move up with your balance. FXIFY uses trailing drawdown on its 1-Phase and 2-Phase Standard plans, which effectively reduces your actual trading room as you make profits.
  • Inactivity: WhitePips is stricter, terminating accounts after 30 days of inactivity. FXIFY allows up to 60 days before a breach is triggered.
  • Hard Breaches: Both firms treat daily loss breaches as account terminations. However, WhitePips offers a "voluntary reset" at a 20% discount if you want to restart before failing, whereas FXIFY requires a full new purchase for most plans.

What it costs to get paid

The time value of money and withdrawal limits are crucial costs to consider.

  • Waiting Time: WhitePips is superior for cash flow, offering payouts every 7 days (after an on-demand first payout). FXIFY typically requires waiting 14 to 30 days depending on the plan and whether you purchased a bi-weekly add-on.
  • Withdrawal Caps: WhitePips limits withdrawals to $2,000 per account every 7 days. This is a significant "cost" for high-performing traders as it forces capital to stay in the account. FXIFY has no cap on standard accounts, though its 2-Phase Pro caps the first two withdrawals at 5% of balance or $8,000.
  • Profit Split: Both start at 80%. WhitePips can scale up to 95%, while FXIFY can reach 90% or even 100% on specific crypto or promotional programs.

Where each one hides its cost

Both firms use add-ons and specific rules that can increase the total price of the challenge.

  • WhitePips: The most significant hidden costs are the mandatory add-ons for basic features. Holding positions over the weekend costs an extra 20% of the initial fee. Without it, the system closes your trades, and a second violation ends the account.
  • FXIFY: Costs are hidden in the "checkout upgrades." If you want higher leverage (up to 50:1), a 90% profit split, or faster payouts, you must pay extra at the start. Additionally, their 2-Phase Pro account has a "trading day qualification" where you must earn at least 0.5% profit on 10 separate days to get paid, which can delay your first withdrawal for weeks.

Cheapest for whom

  • FXIFY is the cheapest for the frugal beginner who wants the lowest possible entry price ($399 for 100k) and zero commissions to protect small gains.
  • WhitePips is the cheapest for the consistent professional who values a monthly salary (1% of account size on Prime) and weekly payouts, provided they don't mind the $2,000 weekly withdrawal limit.

Frequently asked questions

Which firm is cheaper for a 100k challenge, FXIFY or WhitePips?

FXIFY is cheaper for a 100k challenge if you choose their 3-Phase program, which costs $399. If you prefer a standard 2-Step evaluation, FXIFY costs $549, which is still lower than the $597 charged by WhitePips for their Edge 2 Step account.

Does FXIFY or WhitePips have better trading commissions?

FXIFY offers a better commission structure through its "All-In" feed, which allows for $0 commissions on Forex, Metals, and Indices. In contrast, WhitePips always charges a commission, starting at $4 per lot on Prime accounts and $5 per lot on Edge and Instant accounts.

Who pays out faster, FXIFY or WhitePips?

WhitePips pays out faster, allowing traders to request withdrawals every 7 days once funded. FXIFY standard evaluations generally follow a monthly or bi-weekly schedule, meaning you may have to wait up to 14 or 30 days between payments unless you pay for a specific add-on.

Which firm is more restrictive with Expert Advisors, FXIFY or WhitePips?

WhitePips is much more restrictive, as they only allow EAs that the trader has personally developed or controls; they strictly prohibit all commercial, rented, or "off-the-shelf" bots. FXIFY allows EAs on all standard and Pro accounts with fewer restrictions, only banning them on specific Lightning or Crypto programs.
