Prop firms with no activation fee, ranked
7 firms qualify for this ranking. Uprofit ranks first at 8.3/10. The rest of the table shows what that figure leaves out.
An activation fee is charged once, on passing, before you may trade the funded account — a second bill after the evaluation you already paid for. Some firms publish it, some publish that there isn't one, and some sell a 'no activation fee' variant at a higher price without ever printing the fee itself. Only the second group is on this list.

- Who qualifies
- The firm states, on its own pricing page, that there is no fee to activate the funded account. A firm that simply doesn't mention one is not listed — silence is not a zero. 7 of the 25 firms we track.
