We ranked full plan prices across all account sizes, lowest first, and we name the size for every price. Entry-fee-only prices are excluded, because the activation fee after passing is the real cost. Buy-now-pay-later upfront figures are also excluded for the same reason, and the firms we track differ most on maximum loss at small sizes.

Short answer
Breakout is our top pick for the cheapest crypto plan, with its 1-Step Turbo plan at $20 for a $5,000 account, tied with Kraken Prop Advanced at the same price and size. Plans below are ranked by full price, with size and maximum loss shown, since a $20 plan on $5,000 differs from one on a larger account.
How we picked
Breakout 1-Step Turbo costs $20 for a $5,000 account, with a 3% static maximum loss and an 80% profit split. The fixed equity floor is set at account creation and never moves, which is the clearest loss rule on this page. The minimum payout is $50, and the small account size means the 3% limit leaves $150 of room.

Frequently asked questions
Why is a $5 crypto plan not the cheapest here?
Because the $5 figure is an upfront amount, not the full price. Buy-now-pay-later plans charge an activation fee after passing, so the upfront figure plus the activation fee is the real cost. A $20 plan with no activation fee is cheaper in total than a $5 upfront figure with a large fee after passing.
Is a $5,000 crypto account worth $20?
It depends on the loss limit. A 3% static maximum loss on $5,000 leaves $150 of room, so one bad trade can end the account. An 8% static floor on the same size leaves $400. The cheapest plan is only good value if its loss limit fits how you trade.
Do all crypto firms start at an 80% split?
Yes, on the plans listed here. All ten crypto firms we track start at an 80% profit split, and several offer a path above 80% through an upgrade or scaling. The split is rarely the deciding factor at small sizes; the loss limit and the payout minimum matter more. Prop trading can cost you every fee you pay.
