Breakout vs Bitfunded: Crypto Prop Firm Comparison 2026

Two crypto prop firms, two philosophies about rules. Breakout runs two loss limits and a payout button. Bitfunded publishes one of the longer rulebooks in crypto prop. Every figure below is sourced from the firms’ published terms and dated.

Breakout and Bitfunded fund crypto traders the same basic way: pay a one-time evaluation fee, hit a profit target inside the loss limits, then trade the firm’s capital and keep most of what you generate. The overlap ends there. The two firms disagree about nearly everything that happens after you pass, and the differences are all in writing: holding-time limits, position caps, payout windows, and penalty tiers on one side; two loss limits and on-demand withdrawals on the other.

This comparison uses Bitfunded’s published pricing, help center, and terms of service, captured and verified on July 13, 2026, against Breakout’s current catalog. Where Bitfunded’s own documents disagree with each other, we show both versions rather than picking a side.

Breakout vs Bitfunded: side-by-side ($100K accounts)

Who is cheaper?

Start with the headline number. Breakout’s cheapest $100K evaluation is the 1-Step Turbo at $330, with a 9% profit target and a 3% max drawdown. Bitfunded’s standard $100K 1-Step is $999. That is a 67% gap for the same account size, though the products ask different things of you: the Turbo’s 3% drawdown is the tightest in Breakout’s catalog, so the discount buys a harder test.

Bitfunded narrowed that gap in July 2026 with the 1-Step Express, and credit where due: at $399 for $100K it is a real price move, and its parameters (9% target, 3% max daily loss, 3% static max drawdown) mirror Breakout’s Turbo almost exactly. The comparison that matters is therefore Turbo at $330 against Express at $399: the same test, $69 apart, and Breakout’s 90/10 upgrade on the Turbo costs $396, still under Express’s base price at an 80/20 split. Two caveats a buyer should know about Express, both from Bitfunded’s own documents: it appears in the help-center product tables but not yet in the terms of service fee schedule, and whether the five-day minimum applies to it is unstated (the Express tables show no minimum while the five-day rule in the terms predates the product). We flag both rather than guess.

On the standard products, the like-for-like comparison is Breakout’s 1-Step Classic. Same 10% profit target as Bitfunded’s 1-Step, same 6% static max drawdown. Classic costs $800 against Bitfunded’s $999. Bitfunded gives you an extra point of daily loss room (4% against Breakout’s 3%); Breakout charges $199 less and drops the five-day minimum. Upgrading Classic to a 90/10 split brings it to $960, still under Bitfunded’s base price, and Bitfunded does not sell a 90/10 split at any price on day one.

One place Bitfunded wins on price: it still offers a two-phase evaluation, $799 at $100K with an 8% first-phase target. Breakout discontinued its 2-Step in May 2026. If you want a lower per-phase target and don’t mind passing twice, that route only exists at Bitfunded.

The rulebook difference

Breakout’s funded rules are a max daily loss and a max drawdown. Stay inside both and trade how you want: scalp, swing, hold through news, pass the evaluation in one trade if the setup is there. No minimum days, no consistency requirements, no schedule imposed on your position management. If the model itself is new to you, how funded trading works covers it.

Bitfunded’s published rules go further, and they deserve a full read before you buy. From its terms of service and help center, captured July 13, 2026:

• Five minimum trading days on the evaluation.
• Positions cannot stay open past 10 days on major cryptos, or 7 days on other pairs. Bitfunded frames this as an anti-swing-trading rule, which is accurate. Multi-week swing positions are not tradeable there.
• An open-position cap: 10 simultaneous trades per the terms of service, 5 per the help center.
• A concentration penalty framework. Committing more than 65% of margin to a single trade idea is classed in Bitfunded’s terms as gambling behavior, with payout penalties scaling from 50% (at 65 to 74% concentration) up to 70% (above 96%).
• Rule violations found during payout review cost 50% of the withdrawable profit.

None of this is hidden. Bitfunded publishes every rule above, and a disciplined intraday trader could operate inside all of them without ever noticing. The question is what happens the month you have your best trade. A winner you want to hold for three weeks, or a position that grows past 65% of margin, stops being a trade and becomes a rules problem. Breakout is built on the opposite premise: risk management is the two loss limits, and everything past them is your call.

Payouts: on-demand vs the profit-split day

Breakout processes payouts on-demand, 24/7. Minimum $50 after the split, paid in USDC, no cap on how often you request, no minimum days before your first one. And when you request a payout, Breakout adds the full payout amount as an additional buffer to your maximum daily loss equity limit, so withdrawing profit does not leave the account one bad day from breach.

Bitfunded pays through a scheduled profit-split day. Its terms of service let you set that day inside a monthly window and allow at most three payouts per 30 days on one account; its help center instead describes a default date 30 days after your first trade, movable to as early as 2 days, a two-per-30-days cap, and a drop to one payout per month once you have taken ten. When the day arrives, every open position on the account is closed automatically. If the account is sitting at a loss, the payout date moves back seven days. Those documents conflict on the details, so we have shown both.

The practical difference: at Breakout a payout is a button you press when you want money. At Bitfunded it is an event on a calendar that flattens your book.

Which is better for which trader?

Pick Bitfunded if you want more daily loss room on a 1-Step (4% against Breakout’s 3%), a two-phase evaluation, or a longer list of pairs (Bitfunded advertises 100+ cryptos; Breakout lists 62). Those are real advantages, and they matter to some styles.

Pick Breakout if you swing trade, size with conviction, or want your payout schedule to be your own. The rulebook gap is not close: no minimum days, no holding limits, no position caps, no concentration penalties, no payout windows. Like-for-like at $100K you pay $199 less, and 90/10 is a checkout option rather than a four-month qualification.

On trust: Breakout is backed by Kraken, has paid $50M+ to traders since launch, has operated since November 2023, and holds a 4.7 Trustpilot rating across 950+ reviews. Bitfunded holds a 4.5 on Trustpilot from 167 reviews, a solid score on a much smaller base. Breakout’s payout leaderboard is public and the #payouts channel in its Discord shows withdrawals confirming in real time. Check both firms for yourself rather than taking this page’s word for it.

FAQ

Is Bitfunded cheaper than Breakout?

Not at the $100K 1-Step level. Bitfunded charges $999; Breakout’s like-for-like Classic is $800, and its cheapest option (the Turbo, with a tighter 3% drawdown) is $330. Bitfunded’s 2-Step at $799 undercuts its own 1-Step, and two-phase evaluations are the one product type Breakout no longer offers.

Do both firms limit how often you can withdraw?

No. Breakout has no payout frequency cap: requests are on-demand, 24/7, with a $50 minimum. Bitfunded’s published terms allow at most three payouts per 30 days on one account (its help center says two) and settle them on a scheduled profit-split day that closes your open positions.

Can you get a 90/10 profit split at both firms?

Both start at 80/20. At Breakout, 90/10 is a checkout upgrade priced 20% over the base evaluation fee. At Bitfunded, 90/10 comes through its scaling program, which requires at least 10% net profit across four consecutive months, at least two withdrawals in that window, and a balance above the starting level.

Start trading with Breakout

If two loss limits and a payout button sound like the right amount of rules, start with an evaluation sized to your risk tolerance: $330 gets you the $100K Turbo, $800 the Classic with the most drawdown room. Start your Breakout evaluation, or read what funded trading is first if the model is new to you.
