# PropFirmMap

> Independent comparison of 50+ prop trading firms. Not owned by any prop firm. Verified data refreshed daily — profit splits, drawdown rules, challenge prices, payout speed, TrustPilot ratings, and active promo codes.

## What it is

PropFirmMap is the data layer for prop trading firm research. Every numeric claim is sourced from the firm's own public page (or explicitly null when not visible). No fabricated, estimated, or guessed values — see https://propfirmmap.com/api/docs for the data quality policy.
