FTMO (founded 2015, FTMO s.r.o., Prague) is the longer-established and more durable of the two and uniquely offers MT5 to US traders via its OANDA acquisition. FundedNext (founded 2022, UAE) is newer, with CFD and futures evaluations. Neither funded-account product is a licensed investment, and an evaluation fee is at risk with either. We publish no profit split, fee or rating until verified — check each firm's own site.

How do they compare on the facts?
The biggest verifiable difference is track record and structure. FTMO has operated since 2015 (FTMO s.r.o., Prague; VAT CZ699005540) and owns a regulated broker, OANDA, acquired in 2024; FundedNext has operated since 2022 from the UAE. In a sector where an estimated 80-100 firms closed in 2024-2025, the longer continuity record and the owned regulated broker are meaningful, though not decisive, points in FTMO's favour.
The table below shows only fields we can confirm. We deliberately do not publish profit splits, challenge fees, account sizes or payout frequency for either firm — these vary by plan and change often. Confirm the current figures and read the full rules (including what can void a payout) on each firm's own site.
Who suits whom?
FTMO suits a trader who values the longest track record here and who may need MT5 US access (which FTMO can offer via OANDA where most CFD firms cannot since the 2024 MetaQuotes withdrawal). FundedNext suits a trader drawn to a faster-growing UAE-based firm offering both CFD and futures evaluations, who is comfortable verifying its inconsistently-reported terms on the firm's own page first.
Neither funded-account product is a regulated or protected investment. The decision should turn on the rules you can live with and the continuity risk you accept — not on a headline profit split.
Frequently asked questions
Which is safer, FTMO or FundedNext?
Neither funded-account product is a licensed or regulated investment, so neither is 'safe' in a regulated sense; an evaluation fee is at risk with either. FTMO has the longer track record (since 2015) and owns a regulated broker, which lowers — but does not remove — counterparty risk. Do your own due diligence and read each firm's terms.
Is FTMO better than FundedNext for US traders?
For US access specifically, FTMO has a structural advantage: it owns the regulated broker OANDA and can still offer MT5 to US traders, whereas most CFD firms lost US MT4/MT5 access after MetaQuotes withdrew it in 2024. Confirm current US eligibility on each firm's own site before signing up.
