7 prop firms we track meet the “small accounts, 25K and under” criterion. Leading: Phidias Propfirm, Alpha Futures and Bulenox.

Updated 20 September 2026What this criterion means
An account of 25,000 dollars or less is there to test a firm's rules without committing much, before sizing up. The ranking lists firms offering one, ordered on the published price of that bracket rather than on their entry price across all sizes, which would answer a different question.
