Affiliate Disclosure

An affiliate relationship is a commercial arrangement in which a website publisher — in this case, ApexEdge Media Ltd, operating as PropFirmHQ — earns a referral commission when a visitor clicks a designated affiliate link and subsequently completes a qualifying purchase on a third-party website.

In practice: if you click a "Visit Site" or "Start Evaluation" button on PropFirmHQ, and you then purchase a prop firm evaluation challenge on that firm's website, the firm may pay PropFirmHQ a commission. The commission is paid entirely by the prop firm from their own revenue. You pay exactly the same price as if you had navigated to the firm's website directly. There is no premium, surcharge, or markup applied to purchases made through our links.

Affiliate commissions in the funded trading industry typically range from a flat fee per conversion (e.g. $50–$300 per funded account signup) to a percentage of the evaluation fee (typically 20–35%). The exact commercial terms between PropFirmHQ and each individual firm are confidential per partner agreements, but the existence of every affiliate relationship is disclosed on this page and on the relevant review pages.

As of June 2026, PropFirmHQ has active or pending affiliate agreements with the following firms reviewed on this site:

This table is updated whenever a new affiliate agreement is entered into or an existing one is terminated. The most recent update was June 2026.

Our editorial ratings, trust scores, pros/cons assessments, and review verdicts are determined independently of our affiliate agreements. The following controls are in place to ensure this:

• No paid-for positive reviews: Prop firms cannot purchase a favorable review, request a rating increase, or pay to have negative findings removed. Our reviews are never written in exchange for compensation.
• Affiliate commission rates do not influence rankings: A firm that pays a higher commission does not receive a higher editorial rating. Ratings are calculated using a fixed methodology (see our Editorial Policy) applied identically to all firms.
• Non-affiliate firms are reviewed on equal terms: Tradeify and Take Profit Trader appear in our comparison tables and receive full editorial treatment despite having no affiliate agreement with PropFirmHQ.
• Negative findings are published regardless of relationship: If a firm with which we have an affiliate agreement makes a rule change that disadvantages traders, delays payouts, or receives significant negative community feedback, we document it in the review. Our affiliate agreement does not create an obligation to suppress or soften negative findings.
• Affiliate links are technically labelled: Every outbound link to an affiliate partner on this site carries the HTML attributes rel="noopener noreferrer sponsored". This signals to search engines and users that a commercial relationship exists.

This disclosure is published in compliance with the following regulatory frameworks:

• FTC Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255): US Federal Trade Commission guidelines requiring disclosure of material connections between endorsers and advertisers.
• CAP Code (UK): Committee of Advertising Practice guidelines requiring clear identification of affiliate or sponsored content.
• EU Directive 2005/29/EC: Unfair Commercial Practices Directive requiring transparency about commercial intent in consumer-facing communications.
• Google Publisher Policies: Affiliate links are labelled with rel="sponsored" as required by Google Search guidelines for link schemes and paid content.

You should approach all prop firm reviews on PropFirmHQ with the awareness that affiliate compensation exists. We believe our editorial controls are sufficient to maintain genuine independence — but you are entitled to weigh that judgment for yourself.

Practical recommendations for readers:

• 1.Cross-reference our reviews with other independent sources (Reddit r/PropFirm, Trustpilot, TraderSync community forums).
• 2.Pay attention to our negative findings and cons sections — these are the most reliable indicators of editorial independence.
• 3.Check the "Relationship" column in the table above before clicking any outbound link.
• 4.If you choose to purchase via an affiliate link from this site, your decision should be based on the overall review merit, not on the presence of a commission relationship.
