FundedHub is free to use and costs money to run. This page says exactly where that money comes from, because you should be able to judge our comparisons knowing who pays us.
How we evaluate firmsWhether a firm pays us is not one of the inputs. It never has been.
Two of them bring money in. The third is on the list because its absence is the part that is easiest to claim and hardest to check.
Some links to prop firms are tracked. If you open a firm through one of those links and later buy a challenge, that firm may pay us a share. It costs you nothing extra, and where we have negotiated a discount code it costs you less.
Readers who pay for the deeper record: rule history, sentiment sources, and the evidence behind a value. This is the part of our revenue that comes from readers rather than from firms.
No paid placement, no sponsored rankings, no advertising slots, and no payment for a better rating. If that ever changes, it will be written here before it goes live anywhere else.
A firm cannot pay to rank higher, to be rated better, to have a rule change removed, to have a complaint taken down, or to appear in a comparison it does not qualify for.
Rankings and ratings come from the published rules and the evidence behind them, and the method is written out on our transparency page. Whether a firm has an affiliate relationship with us is not an input to any score. Firms we earn nothing from are listed the same way as firms we do.
Firm B scores higher here. It pays us nothing.
Any link that can earn us a commission is marked where it appears, and the outbound click runs through a FundedHub address before it reaches the firm.
A firm's own website, its rule documents and its terms are always reachable without a tracked link. If a firm has no affiliate programme, or we are not in it, the link is a plain link and we earn nothing from your visit.
The same rules apply. Memberships bought inside an app are sold by Apple or Google as merchant of record, at their prices, and they keep a commission on each payment. Nothing in an app is a paid placement.
People who send readers to FundedHub can receive a share of the membership revenue, after tax and fees, from the readers they brought. That share is paid out of our revenue and never changes what a reader sees, what a firm is rated, or what a membership costs.
We will not pretend the conflict does not exist. We earn more when a reader signs up with a firm that pays a commission, which is a reason to be careful, not a reason to be quiet.
Two things keep it in check. The ranking inputs are published and do not include commercial terms, and every rule we state carries the source it came from, so you can check us rather than trust us.
If you think a page reads like an advertisement, tell us at [email protected] and we will look at it.
The revenue that comes from readers instead of from firms
The creator membership opens the record behind a firm: rule history, the sources behind a sentiment reading, and the evidence behind a value. Your support backs the creators whose work you rely on, and it is the part of our income no firm can influence.
