The best 1-step prop firm in 2026 is The5ers (4.4/5 in our ranking): its $50K 1-step account (Pro Growth Program): 10% target, 3% daily loss limit, 6% static max loss, 75% split, $329. FundedNext, FTMO and Traders Launch follow. 88 firms sell 997 one-step accounts in total.
A one-step (single-phase) challenge funds you after one evaluation: hit the profit target without breaking the daily or maximum loss limit and you get a funded account.
One-step accounts carry a lower total target than two-step accounts but also a smaller loss budget, and most of them use a trailing rather than a static drawdown.
How this page is built: Firms are ranked by our score, not by price. Each firm is shown with its 100K one-step account (50K for futures) or the closest size. Firms with open warnings are left out of the picks. Prices are official list prices without promo codes; fees due after passing are included.

Order: our score. ⚠ marks firms with warnings; read the review before buying.
Start from the drawdown type, not the price. A static max loss stays at the same level for the life of the account. A trailing drawdown moves up with your balance or, worse, your open equity, so a winning trade that reverses can fail you. On 1-step accounts trailing models are common.
Check the daily limit and how it is measured. Some firms count the daily loss from the start-of-day balance, others from the higher of balance and equity. Accounts with no daily limit give more room but usually a smaller total drawdown.
Read the funded rules before paying. Consistency rules, minimum trading days and fees due after passing change the real cost of the account. They are listed on each firm's rules page and in the tables above.
Compare the full cost per $10K, not the sticker price. A cheap 5K account can cost more per dollar of buying power than a 100K one, and pay-after-pass deals move most of the fee to after you pass.
88 of the 90 firms we track sell at least one 1-step account: 50 in forex/CFD, 29 in futures, 13 in crypto. The best rated by our score are The5ers, FundedNext, FTMO, Traders Launch and DayTraders.
By our score it is The5ers (4.4/5). Its $50K 1-step account (Pro Growth Program): 10% target, 3% daily loss limit, 6% static max loss, 75% split, $329. The right pick depends on your market and style; see the "best for" picks above.
Counting the full cost (list price plus any fee due after passing), the cheapest $100K account on this page is at Leveraged: $188. The lowest price for any account here is $15 (Equity Edge, $3K account). Prices are list prices without promo codes.
Not automatically. The median 1-Step account asks for a 6% total target with a 6% max loss; the median 2-Step account 13.5% with 10%. That is 1:0.63 vs 1:0.67 of drawdown per 1% of target. 33% of 1-Step accounts use a static drawdown, against 95% of 2-Step ones.
The median funded profit split is 80% on 1-step accounts and 80% on 2-step accounts. At the same firm a 100K 1-step account often costs more than the 2-step version; see the price table above.
29 firms have 1-Step accounts on this page with no daily loss limit, including Traders Launch, DayTraders, Take Profit Trader, TradeDay and Bulenox. Without a daily limit only the max drawdown can fail the account.
A 1-step challenge still has an evaluation: you must hit a profit target before you are funded. Instant funding skips the evaluation, so it costs more and usually comes with a tighter drawdown and a lower starting split.
