Which $5,000 crypto prop firm evaluation is cheapest after codes? One without a code
Codes showed up on 5 of the 16 plans compared, and the largest took 30% off the fee. The lowest price still belongs to a plan that lists no code.
The cheapest paid trading test for a $5,000 crypto prop firm account, after discount codes, costs $15 at Vest Markets' 2-Step, with no code needed. That fee is the one payment made on every attempt, so the price after codes is the number to compare before buying a first evaluation.
Across the 16 firms compared, prices with codes run as high as $69. Codes showed up on 5 of the plans, and the largest took 30% off the fee. None of those discounts brought a plan below the one that lists no code.

That leaves a trader with a code in hand two questions: what the code covers, and what the cheaper plan asks in return.

What does a discount code take off?
A code takes a stated share off the evaluation fee at checkout. Some cover only a first purchase, and some exclude certain plans.
For Traders shows the first-purchase case on its Fast plan. The $46 list price comes to $36.80 with NEW20 on a first purchase, and a later purchase is quoted at $39.10 with TRADE15.
That second quote is the useful part for anyone who expects to need another try. A code limited to a first purchase says nothing about the next price unless the firm quotes it.
HyroTrader's Hyro Core comes closest to the top spot. Its code is listed on the firm's own site and brings the $19 list price to $17.10.
One more payment can belong in the sum. Where a firm charges a second fee when a trader passes, the price to compare is both payments together.
Get new codes first
An email the day a crypto prop firm posts a new discount code or changes a rule.
What does the 2-Step ask of a trader?
It asks for two phases on a simulated $5,000 account, traded on Vest Markets' own perps platform. The first phase targets 10% profit and the second 5%.
The loss rules are measured from the starting balance. The maximum loss is 6% static, a fixed floor that does not rise as the account gains, and the daily loss limit is 3%.
A trader who clears both phases gets an 80% split, the share of the funded account's simulated profit that the firm pays out.
Hyro Core takes the other route: one phase, a 10% target and a 5% static maximum loss. A trader comparing the two cheapest plans is weighing one phase against two, at fees close together.
Price and loss room do not always move together. Several plans priced from $20 to $25 pair a 9% target with a 3% static maximum loss.
A tighter limit can make a cheaper test cost more over the attempts it takes, since each failed try means paying the fee again.
What would change the answer?
The ranking covers one size only. Vest lists accounts from $500 to $50,000, and this answer holds only for the $5,000 account.
Within that size, the answer rests on codes. Most plans in the comparison list none today, so a new code on one of them, or a lower coded price at Hyro Core, could reorder the top of the table.
The figure that would change the picture is any price with a code that comes in below the 2-Step's list price.
Can US traders buy the Vest 2-Step?
Vest's prop terms allow it. Profit is paid to a Vest exchange account, and that exchange's terms bar the US, so a US trader checks the payout route before buying.
Can a trader get the evaluation fee back at Vest?
Only if the account is unused: within 3 days of purchase and before any trade. Refund terms differ by firm, and several in the comparison list no refund at all.
How often does Vest pay out?
On demand, around the clock. Vest lists no cap on how often or how much a funded trader can request.
