Everything you need to pick a firm — and nothing they pay us to say.
We add up entry, activation and monthly rebills for the same account size at every firm. When a firm won't publish a fee, we say so and the total reads 'at least'.
Compare real costs →Pass the eval, activate, trade until you qualify, then wait for processing. We total the whole path in trading days, so a one-day payout claim can't hide a six-day route.
See the full path →Every figure is a claim we make about a third party. We capture the pricing page logged out, date it, and publish it — so you can check us even after the firm edits the page.
How we verify →The PFM Score is derived from official-site facts by a published formula. A firm's commercial relationship with us carries zero weight, and no ranking is for sale.
Read the methodology →How the PFM Score is built.
Computed only from objective facts on each firm's official site — a number you can reproduce. No pay-to-rank, no invented ratings.
