# How much does it cost to start a prop firm?

> Of the 25 prop firm technology vendors we track, 10 publish a price and 15 quote per deal. Among the 8 priced vendors that state both a CRM and a risk engine, published setup fees run USD 1,000–USD 3,000 and EUR 3,900 (Match-Trader and Propper Trading state none), and recurring platform fees USD 1,000–USD 2,500 a month and EUR 2,500–EUR 3,500 a month. 3 take a revenue share instead of, or on top of, a fixed fee: Prop Label (10%), PropAccount (percentage not stated) and PropSuite (50%). Where a first-year figure can be computed — twelve months plus setup — it is USD 13,000–USD 30,000 and EUR 30,000–EUR 42,000. That is the technology line only: legal, company formation, payment processing, platform licences, marketing and staff are not in these figures, and we hold no data to price them.

## White label prop firm cost

8 white-label vendors state a price. Brokeret (USD 1,000 setup + USD 1,000/month), Match-Trader (USD 2,500/month), Prop Label (EUR 3,900 setup + from EUR 1,000 + 10% revenue share), PropAccount (USD 3,000 setup), Propper Trading (USD 2,500/month), PropSuite (USD 2,749 setup + 50% revenue share), Wintrado (EUR 3,500/month) and UpTrader (USD 500/month). Three commercial shapes recur: a flat monthly fee, a one-off setup fee plus a revenue share, and a setup fee with a monthly minimum. Which is cheaper depends on your sales volume, not on the headline.

## What these figures leave out

We hold no data on these lines, so no figure is given for them:

- Legal advice, company formation and any licensing in your jurisdiction
- Payment processing fees, and approval from a processor that accepts prop firms
- Trading platform licences where the vendor does not include them (MT5, for example)
- Market data, particularly exchange fees for futures
- KYC checks, usually charged per verification by the KYC provider
- Branding, website and launch marketing
- Support and operations staff
- Capital reserved for trader payouts

- Prop Label: Trading platform fees, billed separately from the PropLabel fee; Liquidity partner fee if the FX-EDGE risk-transfer route is used; Separate setup fee for each additional brand
- PropAccount: MetaTrader (MT4/MT5) licensing from MetaQuotes, described by PropAccount's own blog as carrying "substantial setup and ongoing fees" separate from PropAccount's own fee

## FAQs

### How much does it cost to start a prop firm?

The technology line is the one part with published prices. Of the 25 prop firm technology vendors we track, 10 publish a price and 15 quote per deal. Among the 8 priced vendors that state both a CRM and a risk engine, published setup fees run USD 1,000–USD 3,000 and EUR 3,900 (Match-Trader and Propper Trading state none), and recurring platform fees USD 1,000–USD 2,500 a month and EUR 2,500–EUR 3,500 a month. 3 take a revenue share instead of, or on top of, a fixed fee: Prop Label (10%), PropAccount (percentage not stated) and PropSuite (50%). Where a first-year figure can be computed — twelve months plus setup — it is USD 13,000–USD 30,000 and EUR 30,000–EUR 42,000. That is the technology line only: legal, company formation, payment processing, platform licences, marketing and staff are not in these figures, and we hold no data to price them.

### How much does a white label prop firm cost?

8 white-label vendors state a price. Brokeret (USD 1,000 setup + USD 1,000/month), Match-Trader (USD 2,500/month), Prop Label (EUR 3,900 setup + from EUR 1,000 + 10% revenue share), PropAccount (USD 3,000 setup), Propper Trading (USD 2,500/month), PropSuite (USD 2,749 setup + 50% revenue share), Wintrado (EUR 3,500/month) and UpTrader (USD 500/month). Three commercial shapes recur: a flat monthly fee, a one-off setup fee plus a revenue share, and a setup fee with a monthly minimum. Which is cheaper depends on your sales volume, not on the headline.

### Is a revenue share or a flat monthly fee cheaper?

It depends on revenue. As arithmetic on published figures: a 10% revenue share costs the same as a USD 1,000 monthly fee when the firm takes USD 10,000 a month in sales. Below that the share is cheaper; above it the flat fee is. Revenue-share vendors may also carry payout risk or processing that a flat-fee vendor leaves to you, so compare what each covers, not only the fee.

### What costs does a vendor’s price not include?

Vendors state these themselves: Brokeret — Additional trading platform integration beyond the first, at $250 each; Setup, installation and migration fee of $1,000 billed on the first invoice. FX Back Office — One-time onboarding setup fee (amount not published); Additional PSP integrations beyond the 5 or 10 included in the paid tiers. Prop Label — Trading platform fees, billed separately from the PropLabel fee; Liquidity partner fee if the FX-EDGE risk-transfer route is used. PropAccount — MetaTrader (MT4/MT5) licensing from MetaQuotes, described by PropAccount's own blog as carrying "substantial setup and ongoing fees" separate from PropAccount's own fee. Propper Trading — Per-user monthly fee above each plan's included users (rate not published); Market data feed costs, passed through at cost from the provider.

### How long does it take to launch a prop firm?

On a vendor’s platform, the technology side is quoted in days to weeks — each vendor’s stated time to launch is on its listing. Company formation, payment-processor approval and legal review sit outside any vendor’s control and are not part of any vendor’s stated launch time.
