The honest trade-off between paying less and starting sooner.
Updated August 14, 2026
Two routes to the same funded account. One asks you to hit a profit target first, the other starts you funded.

Everything else is the same on both routes: the same account sizes, the same end of day trailing drawdown, no daily loss limit, the same 90% split, and the same payout rules.
Which one to pick
Take an evaluation if price is what matters most. It is the cheapest way into a funded account, and you can pass Classic in a single day.
Take Zenith if starting sooner matters more. There is no target to reach and nothing to pass, so your first trade is already on a funded account.
