How We Research & Verify What We Publish
ForRealFunding's pricing, rules, and comparison content is produced and reviewed by the ForRealFunding team, sourced from our own published pricing and rules and from each competitor's own published terms. We'd rather tell you exactly how a figure was sourced — and when it was last checked — than dress up a guess as certainty.
Our principles
Every figure traces to a source
Pricing, drawdown, and rule figures come from the live pricing catalogue and published program rules (see /pricing and /faqs), not from memory or estimation. Competitor figures are researched from each firm's own published terms and cross-checked against independent reviews where available.
We say when we haven't independently confirmed something
Where a competitor detail wasn't independently verifiable in a given research pass, our comparison pages say so explicitly rather than presenting a guess as fact.
Comparison and pricing pages carry a verified date
Prop firm pricing and rules change often. Pages like /cheapest-prop-firms, /prop-firm-comparison, and every /vs/ page show when the data was last checked — use that date to judge how current a figure is.
We correct mistakes
If you spot an outdated or inaccurate figure anywhere on the site, tell us at info@forrealfunding.com and we'll verify and correct it.
About individual bylines
Most of our guides and comparison pages are attributed to ForRealFunding rather than a named individual. We'd rather be upfront about that than attach a byline that overstates a single person's role in researching and maintaining a page. Where a page reflects a specific person's trading or research work, we'll say so directly.
How ForRealFunding worksFAQ
Who writes ForRealFunding's content?
Content is produced and reviewed by the ForRealFunding team, drawing directly on the site's own published pricing, rules, and FAQs rather than a single named author per article. We're transparent about that rather than attaching individual bylines that don't reflect how the content is actually produced.
How do you research competitor prop firms?
From each firm's own published pricing and rules pages, cross-checked against independent reviews (Trustpilot, Reddit, third-party roundups) where available. Every comparison page states a research or verification date and flags any figure that wasn't independently confirmed.
How often is pricing and rules data updated?
Comparison and pricing pages are reviewed on an ongoing basis; prop firm terms change frequently via promotions and rule revisions. Always check the 'verified' date on a page and the firm's current terms before making a purchase decision based on it.
