We read each firm's own website first: its rules, its fee page and its terms. When a site would not load or hid a figure, we used a named second source and gave the row a lower confidence rating. We do not check single payouts, and we cannot promise that any firm will pay you. The regulator log links each statement or report.
This is version 1, a fixed copy from 29 September 2026. It will not change. Firm rules change often, so always check the live page for the newest data: https://brokercatalogue.com/prop-firm-data/
If we ever add a new version here, it gets a new file name and a line in CHANGELOG.md.
