The PropFirmMap Score
How we rank prop firms, in the open. One transparent 0-100 score, built from six weighted pillars and recalculated every night across all 139 firms.
The six pillars
Each pillar is scored 0-100, then weighted into the final number. We weight trust and reliability most heavily - the best price is worthless if the firm does not pay.
The firm reputation and industry standing: TrustPilot rating, total review volume (a real proxy for size and track record), how long the firm has operated, and our verified Safety Grade. Weighted most heavily - terms mean little if the firm is not reputable.
How the cheapest evaluation price compares with other firms in the same asset class, plus any active discount.
Profit split, profit target, max drawdown room and consistency rules versus peers.
How fast and how often you get paid: first-payout speed, frequency, on-demand and fee-refund terms.
Which strategies are allowed (news, weekend/overnight holding, EAs, copy trading, hedging, scalping) and drawdown leniency.
How completely the firm publishes its rules, and how recently we verified the data.
Scored against peers, not absolutes
Every firm is scored relative to other firms in the same asset class (futures firms versus futures firms, not against forex). The median firm sits at 50, so a pillar score above 50 means "better than typical for this asset class". When a firm chooses not to publish a rule, we treat that field as neutral rather than penalizing it - so transparency is rewarded, but privacy is never punished as if it were a red flag.
