Prop firm comparison
Topstep vs Tradeify
Evidence, program, and rule comparison
Recorded rules, drawdown, and payouts from FXVeritas research files. Not a ranking, recommendation, or safety rating.
This page compares facts currently recorded in the FXVeritas prop firm research dataset. Program-level values may vary within each firm, so program-derived rows are shown as recorded spans or marked as program-dependent instead of a single firm-wide rule. Values that are not recorded stay unrecorded and are never estimated.
Key differences at a glance

How this comparison is built
FXVeritas maintains a fixed set of prop firm comparisons where both sides carry enough recorded research to support a useful comparison. Values are read from the research dataset at request time. Program facts stay program-scoped: FXVeritas does not average program values, pick a representative program, or infer a firm-wide rule from program rows.
