Topstep vs Tradeify: Standard and Growth 50K
Both selected programs use funded EOD trailing mechanics, but fees and payout distribution rules differ. Tradeify Growth has zero activation in the reviewed configuration and a 35% funded consistency condition.
Do two EOD programs produce the same payout schedule?
No. Topstep’s Standard and Consistency paths differ from Growth’s qualifying profit days, consistency and balance gates. A trader can meet a floor rule while still being ineligible to withdraw.

One entry plus known activation
This hypothetical scenario assumes one evaluation entry, no reset and activation after passing. It excludes taxes, data, commissions and unconfirmed expenses. It is a known-fee subtotal, not a pass-cost estimate.
Which difference should drive the decision?
Compare Topstep’s path-specific caps with Growth’s payout policy for the exact size. Then calculate fees for the attempt period you actually expect to purchase.
The detail most easily missed
Tradeify’s floor is updated at EOD but enforced in real time. EOD is not permission to trade below the current floor intraday.
Before choosing either
Confirm the current offer, your country eligibility, the agreement for the exact stage and the costs of another attempt. Neither a source check nor a side-by-side table establishes that a firm is financially safe. We have not purchased or traded these programs.
