Frequently asked questions

Is FundedNext better than The5ers?

They lead on different things. FundedNext scores 68/100 on Research Authority and covers Forex & futures funded accounts; The5ers scores 68/100 and covers Forex prop firm. FundedNext is the stronger pick if you want broader asset-class coverage (FX, Multi-Asset). The5ers is the stronger pick for a longer track record (publishing since 2016).

Is FundedNext cheaper than The5ers?

FundedNext lists ~$60/mo (Paid Subscription); The5ers lists ~$95/mo (Paid Subscription). Price is only comparable at the tier level: an entry tier at one desk and an institutional tier at another are not the same product, so check which tier actually gives you the coverage you need.

What is the difference between FundedNext and The5ers?

FundedNext is classified as Trading covering FX, Multi-Asset, publishing since 2022 from United Arab Emirates. The5ers is classified as Trading covering FX, publishing since 2016 from Israel. The practical difference is usually format: both publish in the same format, so the split is coverage and price.

Can I subscribe to both FundedNext and The5ers?

Yes, and for desks in the same category it is often rational: overlapping coverage confirms or contradicts a thesis, which is useful when you are sizing a position. The cost test is whether the second subscription changes a decision. If it only repeats the first, the money is better spent on a desk in a category you do not currently read.
