What could each one pay you?
An illustration, not a forecast: a steady monthly return on the funded account, at each firm's starting split, against the fee for its cheapest account at that size. Most traders do not pass, and returns are rarely steady.

FTMO vs Maven questions
Which is cheaper, FTMO or Maven?
At $100K, FTMO's cheapest account is €499 (1-Step) and Maven's is $299 (Standard 3-Step), at list price before discounts. Price alone does not decide which is easier to pass: compare the targets and loss limits in the table above.
Which pays a higher profit split?
Both advertise a split of up to 90%. Check the conditions for reaching it on each firm's page.
Which firm has been operating longer?
FTMO was founded first, in 2015. Maven started in 2022.
Can traders in the United States use FTMO or Maven?
FTMO: no. Maven: yes. Both firms publish a list of restricted countries, linked from their profile pages here.
Do FTMO and Maven allow news trading?
FTMO: allowed with limits (On Standard FTMO Accounts and Instant Accounts, no orders may be opened, closed or triggered from 2 minutes before to 2 minutes after listed high-impact releases on the affected instruments. Challenge and Verification phases and Swing accounts are exempt). Maven: allowed with limits (On Standard 1-, 2- and 3-step accounts, trades on affected instruments may not be opened or closed from 2 minutes before to 2 minutes after red-folder releases. This is a breach in the challenge, and profits are excluded on the funded account. Omo funded accounts cap news profit at 0.5% per event. Instant, Instant Mini and Buy Now Pay Later accounts have no news restriction).
