Tradeify Pricing and Evaluation Guide

Tradeify offers three evaluation programs — Select, Growth, and Lightning — with pricing ranging from $139 to $759 depending on plan type and account size¹²³. All plans charge zero activation fees after passing¹.

This guide breaks down Tradeify's complete cost structure across all programs and helps you determine the most cost-effective approach for your trading goals.

Select Evaluation Pricing

The Select evaluation is a monthly subscription with no daily loss limit during evaluation¹⁴:

• $50,000 Account: $159/month — $2,500 profit target, $2,000 EOD trailing drawdown, up to 4 contracts¹
• $100,000 Account: $259/month — $6,000 profit target, $3,000 EOD trailing drawdown, up to 8 contracts¹
• $150,000 Account: $359/month — $9,000 profit target, $4,500 EOD trailing drawdown, up to 12 contracts¹

Select requires a minimum of 3 trading days and a 40% consistency rule (no single day over 40% of total profits)¹⁵. Reset fee is $95 for all account sizes¹.

Growth Evaluation Pricing

The Growth evaluation has a daily loss limit (soft breach) and no consistency rule during evaluation²⁶:

• $50,000 Account: $139/month — $3,000 profit target, $2,000 EOD trailing drawdown, $1,250 daily loss limit²⁴
• $100,000 Account: $249/month — $6,000 profit target, $3,500 EOD trailing drawdown, $2,500 daily loss limit²⁴
• $150,000 Account: $359/month — $9,000 profit target, $5,000 EOD trailing drawdown, $3,750 daily loss limit²⁴

Growth can be passed in as few as 1 trading day². The daily loss limit is a soft breach — trading pauses for the rest of the session but does not fail the account⁴. Reset fees are $85 ($50K), $169 ($100K), and $189 ($150K)².

Lightning Funded Pricing

Lightning accounts require a one-time fee with no evaluation³:

• $25,000 Account: $329 one-time³
• $50,000 Account: $469 one-time³
• $100,000 Account: $629 one-time³
• $150,000 Account: $759 one-time³

Lightning has a 20% consistency rule that escalates after successive payouts³ and requires a minimum of 7 trading days before the first payout³.

What Each Plan Includes

All Tradeify evaluation subscriptions include:

• Tradovate platform access with real-time market data
• All Tradovate commissions, exchange fees, NFA fees, and clearing costs included¹
• Access to CME futures markets
• Zero activation fee after passing¹
• No time limit on passing the evaluation¹
• EOD trailing drawdown on all plans⁷

Fee Comparison with Competitors

Comparing $50K account pricing across major prop firms:

Tradeify Select $50K: $159/month + $0 activation = $159 minimum total cost¹

Tradeify Growth $50K: $139/month + $0 activation = $139 minimum total cost²

Topstep $50K: $49/month (Standard) + $149 activation = $198 minimum, or $109/month (No Activation Fee) + $0 = $109 minimum

Apex Trader Funding $50K: $207/month (Rithmic) + activation fee (frequent 70-90% promotional discounts available)

For a one-month pass, Tradeify's Growth plan at $139 and Select plan at $159 are competitive. Topstep's No Activation Fee path at $109 is cheaper for a quick pass. Tradeify's all-inclusive pricing (no separate exchange or data fees) makes the total cost more predictable.

Reset Fees

Reset fees vary by plan¹²:

• Select: $95 for all account sizes¹
• Growth: $85 ($50K), $169 ($100K), $189 ($150K)²

Resets restart your evaluation with a fresh account. The Select plan's flat $95 reset fee is more predictable for multiple attempts.

Funded Account Payout Structure

All Tradeify funded accounts use a 90/10 profit split (90% to the trader)⁸.

Select funded traders choose between two payout policies⁸:

• Select Daily: Daily payout eligibility, caps of $1,000/$1,500/$2,500 per day, requires building a buffer ($2,100/$2,600/$3,600 for 50K/100K/150K), minimum $250 payout⁸
• Select Flex: Payouts after every 5 winning days, caps of $3,000/$4,000/$5,000, no buffer requirement, no consistency rule⁸

After 5 approved payouts on any funded account, traders can advance to Tradeify Elite with live CME capital and uncapped daily payouts⁹.

Costs to Watch For

• Monthly auto-renewal: Subscriptions renew automatically. Cancel before the billing date if you need a break
• Payout buffer requirements: Select Daily requires building a buffer above starting balance before withdrawing⁸
• Third-party tools: NinjaTrader licensing or other non-Tradovate platform fees are not included
• Account limits: Maximum 5 funded accounts and 15 evaluations per 30-day period¹⁰

Value Analysis

Total cost scenarios for a $50,000 Select account:

• Best case (1-month pass): $159 + $0 activation = $159¹
• With 1 reset: $159 + $95 = $254
• 2-3 months + 1 reset: $413-$572
• Growth alternative (1-month pass): $139 + $0 = $139²

Tradeify frequently offers promotional discounts. Check the website and partner channels for current discount codes before purchasing at full price.

Conclusion

Tradeify's pricing spans three programs with different cost structures¹²³. The zero activation fee and included commissions make the total investment more predictable than firms with layered fees. Combined with the path to Tradeify Elite live capital⁹, the long-term value proposition is strong for traders who can demonstrate consistency.
