Funded Account Fees

After passing evaluation (or purchasing DTF), funded accounts require an $80/month activation fee³. This covers platform access, data feeds, and account maintenance. LIVE Elite accounts also require $128/month per exchange venue for live data³.

Reset Fees

Evaluation resets cost $75³. One free reset is included with each active monthly subscription renewal³.

Fee Comparison with Competitors

Comparing $50K account pricing across major prop firms:

ETF 1-Step $50K: $165/month + $80/month funded = $165 to start, $80/month ongoing¹³

MFFU Core $50K: $77/month + $0 funded fee

Topstep $50K: $49/month (Standard) + $149 activation, or $109/month (NAF) + $0

Tradeify Select $50K: $159/month + $0 funded fee

Apex $50K: $207/month (Rithmic) + activation fee

ETF's 1-Step at $165/month is competitive for the evaluation itself, but the $80/month ongoing funded fee is uncommon in the industry. After 6 months of funded trading, the cumulative funded fee reaches $480.

Value Analysis

• Best value entry: Fast Track $100K at $75 one-time² — cheapest path to a large funded account
• Budget option: Static $10K at $99 one-time⁵
• Popular choice: 1-Step $50K at $165/month with free monthly resets¹
• Skip evaluation: DTF $50K at $699 one-time⁷

The $80/month funded fee means your strategy must generate consistent profits above that threshold. The $12,500 full-retention threshold⁸ and progressive payout caps⁹ affect how quickly you can extract value.

Conclusion

Elite Trader Funding's pricing ranges widely across six evaluation models. The Fast Track at $75² and Static at $99⁵ are among the cheapest entries in the prop firm industry. The 1-Step at $165/month¹ is competitive with monthly subscription competitors.

The $80/month funded account fee³ is the main ongoing cost consideration. Factor this into long-term profitability calculations before choosing ETF over competitors with no funded fees.
