Methodology

Methodology and independence

One grid for every prop firm, data checked at the source, a score that is calculated and never typed by hand. Here is everything, including how the site is funded.

59prop firms analysed
5weighted criteria, the same for all
1 × / monthcheck of prices, rules and payouts
The score out of 10

Five criteria, fixed weights

The final score is the weighted average of these five criteria. The weights are the same for every firm and never change because of a partnership.

  1. Payouts30 %

    Verified payout volume, real delays, feedback from funded traders.

  2. Rules25 %

    Drawdown, consistency rule, trading restrictions and fine-print traps.

  3. Price20 %

    Real cost of the challenge, activation fees, refunds and usual promotions.

  4. Support15 %

    Responsiveness, quality of answers and clarity of documentation.

  5. Reputation10 %

    Track record, team transparency and community reviews.

The exact formula
  • Score = (payouts × 30 + rules × 25 + price × 20 + support × 15 + reputation × 10) ÷ 100, rounded to one decimal.
  • The score is never typed by hand: it is recalculated every time the site is updated.
  • Brokers: simple average of 5 criteria (fees, regulation, platforms, markets, experience). Tools: average of 4 criteria (price, features, ease of use, prop firm compatibility).
Distribution

How the 59 scores are spread

A score of 9 or more is rare: it takes excellence on both payouts and rules.

  3. 03

    Scoring

    Each of the five criteria is scored out of 10, then weighted into the final score.

  4. 04

    Update

Money

How we make money

Today

Nothing. No prop firm, broker or tool pays us. No link on the site is an affiliate link, no promo code is paid and no ads are shown.

Later: partner links

A partner (affiliate) link lets a firm pay us a commission if you buy a challenge after clicking, at no extra cost to you. If there are any, each will be labelled “partner link” next to the button.

What will not change

The score. It comes from the formula above, which has no “partner” box. A poorly rated partner stays poorly rated; a well rated non-partner stays well rated.

Independence

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How is the YourFunding score calculated?

It is the weighted average of 5 criteria scored out of 10: payouts 30%, rules 25%, price 20%, support 15%, reputation 10%.

Can a prop firm pay to rank higher?

No. No score or spot is for sale, and a bad score is never hidden from a partner.

Where does the data come from?

From firms' official websites (terms, prices, rules), published payouts, verified reviews and market monitoring, cross-checked before publishing.

Is YourFunding funded by prop firms?

No. Today, no prop firm, broker or tool funds YourFunding, and no link is an affiliate link. If that ever changes, it will be clearly labelled, with no effect on scores.
