Short answer
Leveraged ONE is our top pick among 1-step plans, because it pairs the lowest target on this page, 6%, with the lowest full $100K price, $188. The plans below all need a single phase to pass, and we ranked them by target first, since a lower target is the main reason to choose one phase over two.

Frequently asked questions
Is a 1-step plan easier than a 2-step plan?
Not always. A 1-step plan usually carries a higher single target than either phase of a 2-step plan, and some 1-step plans use a trailing floor. Leveraged ONE is the exception here, with a 6% target. Compare the target, the daily limit, and the drawdown type, not just the phase count.
Why do 1-step fees often go unrefunded?
Because the firm takes more risk on a single phase. FTMO refunds its 2-Step fee with the first reward but not its 1-Step fee, while FundedNext and For Traders refund their 1-Step fees. A refundable 1-Step fee is worth real money if the first attempt fails, so check the refund term before buying.
What matters most in a 1-step plan?
The target first, then the drawdown type, then the payout speed. A 6% target with a trailing floor demands different risk control than a 10% target with a static floor, and a 3-day first payout beats a 14-day wait once funded.
