One-Time Pricing Model

Apex Trader Funding evaluations are one-time purchases — there is no monthly subscription. Accounts come in four families across two drawdown types: Intraday Trail and EOD Trail, each offered as a Standard plan (lower one-time fee plus a one-time PA activation) or a No-Fee plan (higher one-time fee with $0 PA activation). Older legacy accounts have been retired for new traders.

Standard vs No-Fee: Standard plans cost less upfront but add a one-time activation fee when you reach a funded (PA) account. No-Fee plans cost more upfront but have $0 activation.

Max 20 PA accounts total per household — combined across all funded account types. No cap on evaluation accounts.
