Quick Comparison
Where FundedFast
Has the Edge
90% Profit Split vs Maven's 80%
Maven Trading pays traders 80% of profits -- and only 70% on prediction-market accounts. FundedFast starts at 80% and offers a 90% upgrade at checkout. On a $10,000 payout the gap between 80% and 90% is $1,000 back in your pocket. FundedFast's 90% option is one of the most competitive splits among multi-asset prop firms.
Stocks and Oil Alongside Forex and Crypto
Maven Trading covers forex, crypto, indices, metals, energies, and prediction markets. FundedFast adds individual stocks and oil, giving traders who work across equity and commodity markets a single funded account that covers every asset class. No need to split strategies across two prop firms.
$400K Direct Account vs Maven's $100K Cap
Maven funds single accounts up to $100K directly, with a scaling path to $1M. FundedFast offers a single $400K funded account from the start -- no scaling plan required. Traders who want maximum capital in one account from day one have a direct $400K option at FundedFast with no intermediate milestones to unlock it.
Free Competition Every Two Weeks
Maven has no free entry path. FundedFast runs the Open every two weeks: free entry, $100K virtual account, $25/$20/$15 cash prizes. It is a genuine zero-cost way to experience the platform and rules before committing to a paid challenge -- and every participant gets an exclusive discount offer after the round.
Where Maven Trading
Has the Edge
No comparison is honest without showing where the competition wins. Here’s where Maven Trading is stronger — and why the FundedFast Open, no time limits, and 90-day affiliate window still tip the balance for many traders.
Prediction Markets -- Maven's Genuine Edge
Maven Trading is among a small number of prop firms to offer prediction markets as a funded asset class. Note that prediction-market accounts carry a lower profit split of 70% rather than the standard 80%. If prediction-market trading is core to your strategy, Maven is one of very few places to do it in a funded account. FundedFast does not currently offer this asset class.
Maven's Entry Floor Is Lower Than FundedFast's
Maven Trading's lowest-tier challenge starts at around $15 for a small account, well below FundedFast's $49 two-phase entry. Both firms refund the fee on first payout, but if starting cost is the deciding factor, Maven's lower floor is a real advantage. FundedFast's $49 entry is refunded and remains competitive, but it is not the cheapest option on the market.
Both Are Growing Firms
Maven was founded in 2022; FundedFast launched in 2024. Both are newer multi-asset prop firms still building publicly verifiable payout histories and community trust. Maven's earlier founding gives it a longer operating track record, though neither has the decade-long history of the largest names in prop trading. Factor that into your risk assessment.
What Traders
Actually Say
Real themes from Trustpilot, Investing.com, and trading communities. Not cherry-picked, patterns across dozens of reviews.
- prediction market trading alongside forex and crypto -- one of the very few prop firms to support this combination in a funded account
- flexible 1-phase or 2-phase challenge structure with no time limit on either path
- fee refunded on first payout and a very low entry floor of around $15 for smaller accounts
- choice of MT5, MatchTrader, or cTrader -- more platform flexibility than most prop firms offer
- Lower profit split on prediction accounts: prediction-market accounts pay 70% rather than the standard 80% -- a meaningful reduction if that is your primary asset class
- Lower single-account ceiling: $100K direct account cap; traders who want $200K+ in a single funded account must use the scaling plan rather than starting there
- Lower profit split overall: 80% standard split with no published upgrade path -- FundedFast offers 90% at checkout for most account types
- US-based, not EU-registered: founded in the US rather than an EU jurisdiction; traders who prefer EU-registered entity structures may favour FundedFast's Malta (Memento Enterprises Limited) base
- $49 entry, fee refunded: $49 two-phase entry is refunded on your first payout. While not the absolute cheapest on the market, it is competitive -- and unlike some ultra-low-entry firms, FundedFast's fee structure is transparent with no hidden activation costs
- 90% profit split available: 90% profit split upgrade available at checkout -- 10 percentage points above Maven's flat 80% rate, and 20 points above Maven's 70% prediction-market rate. Meaningful at any payout size
- 7 account sizes to $400K direct: seven account sizes from $5K to $400K in a single funded account -- no scaling plan required to reach $400K. Maven's $100K direct cap means larger traders need to hit milestones before reaching comparable capital
- Free Open competition: bi-weekly Open competition with real cash prizes lets traders test FundedFast rules and the MatchTrader platform for free before buying a paid challenge -- with an exclusive discount delivered to every participant
- No prediction markets: FundedFast does not offer prediction market instruments. If that asset class is central to your strategy, Maven is one of a small number of funded options currently supporting it
- Higher entry floor than Maven: FundedFast starts at $49 -- higher than Maven's ~$15 entry floor for small accounts. Both firms refund the fee on payout, but Maven's lower upfront ask is a genuine advantage for cost-sensitive traders
- Newer firm: FundedFast launched in 2024 and is still building its public payout history. Maven, founded in 2022, has a two-year head start on community trust and documented payouts

Common Questions
Is Maven Trading cheaper than FundedFast?
For small accounts, yes. Maven Trading's entry floor starts at around $15 for its lowest tier -- well below FundedFast's $49 two-phase entry. However, both firms refund the challenge fee on your first payout, so the net cost is zero if you pass either. FundedFast's $49 entry is competitive in the broader market but is not the cheapest option available. If minimising upfront cash outlay is your priority, Maven's lower floor is the advantage.
Which has the better profit split -- Maven Trading or FundedFast?
FundedFast offers 80% by default and a 90% upgrade at checkout. Maven Trading pays 80% standard -- and only 70% on prediction-market accounts. For most traders the 90% option at FundedFast is the better deal. On a $5,000 monthly payout, the difference between 80% ($4,000) and 90% ($4,500) is $500 per month in your favour. On a prediction-market account the gap widens further: 70% vs 90% is $1,000 per $5K payout.
Does Maven Trading offer prediction markets?
Yes. Maven Trading is among a small number of prop firms that fund prediction-market trading. As of mid-2026 a handful of firms have entered this space, though Maven is one of the first to offer it at scale. Note that prediction-market accounts at Maven carry a 70% profit split rather than the standard 80%. FundedFast does not offer prediction market instruments and has no current plans to do so.
What is the maximum funded account at Maven Trading vs FundedFast?
Maven Trading funds single accounts up to $100K directly, with a scaling plan that can take traders up to $1M in total capital over time. FundedFast offers a single $400K funded account from the start -- no scaling milestones required. If you want the largest single funded account without hitting intermediate targets, FundedFast's $400K direct option is the practical choice. If your long-term goal is $1M+, Maven's scaling path is the route to consider.
Do both firms refund the challenge fee?
Yes. Both Maven Trading and FundedFast refund the challenge entry fee on your first profit withdrawal from the funded account. For FundedFast that means the $49 two-phase entry comes back on payout one. For Maven the fee (which varies by account size, starting around $15) is refunded the same way. Neither firm charges an ongoing subscription after passing -- the entry fee is the total cost if you pass and withdraw.
Can I trade stocks and metals on Maven Trading?
Maven Trading covers forex, crypto, indices, metals, energies, and prediction markets -- but stocks are not listed as an available asset. FundedFast covers forex, crypto, indices, stocks, metals, and oil in a single challenge account. If equity trading is part of your strategy alongside other asset classes, FundedFast's inclusion of stocks is the practical advantage.
Which platforms does Maven Trading use vs FundedFast?
Maven Trading supports MT5, MatchTrader, and cTrader -- giving traders three platform options. FundedFast uses MatchTrader exclusively, a web-based platform with TradingView charts built in and no desktop installation required. If you have a strong preference for MT5 or cTrader, Maven is the better fit. If you prefer a browser-based setup, MatchTrader at FundedFast or Maven covers that need equally.
