| Rule | Tradeify | Lucid Trading |
|---|---|---|
| Account sizes | $25K, $50K, $100K, $150K, plus a $300K limited-release size (KYC required, no resets, capped at 3 per user, excluded from the 15-evaluation monthly limit). | $25K, $50K, $100K, $150K |
| Evaluation pricing | $359 flat one-time fee across 25K/50K/100K/150K Select evaluation sizes, confirmed via the live homepage pricing widget (2026-09-02). Coupon-discounted price is $251 at the current 30%-off tier. | LucidPro $135/$185/$285/$370 on $25K/$50K/$100K/$150K. LucidFlex $100/$140/$225/$420. LucidDirect (straight-to-funded, no evaluation) $340/$520/$700/$840. LucidDaily has its own Intraday/EOD-priced fee tiers per the same pricing widget but exact dollars are checkout-needed this pass (raw JSON productPrices math for Daily could not be confidently reconciled against add-on/coupon stacking without a live cart walkthrough). Pro/Flex/Direct figures sourced from the homepage's live pricing widget config, not just help-article text. |
| Activation fee | No activation fee for Select evaluation accounts per official help page. | No activation fees to upgrade to funded account per LucidPro help page. |
| Profit targets | 25K $1.5K, 50K $3K, 100K $6K, 150K $9K per official Select evaluation documentation. | $1.25K, $3K, $6K, $9K on LucidPro evaluation, and the identical $1.25K/$3K/$6K/$9K on LucidDaily evaluation. LucidDirect is straight-to-funded with no evaluation profit target. |
| Drawdown | EOD drawdown; Select funded Flex uses $1K/$2K/$3K/$4.5K, Daily uses tighter $1K/$2K/$2.5K/$3.5K on larger accounts. | $1K/$2K/$3K/$4.5K Max Loss Limit on LucidPro evaluation, and the identical $1K/$2K/$3K/$4.5K on LucidDaily evaluation (LucidDaily lets the trader pick Intraday-priced-lower or End-of-Day drawdown type at purchase). LucidDirect: End-of-Day Max Loss Limit $1K/$2K/$3.5K/$5K on $25K/$50K/$100K/$150K, which locks at Initial Trail Balance + $100 once each account's highest closing balance exceeds the trail. |
| Daily loss limit | None during Select evaluation and Flex funded policy. Daily policy adds DLL. | LucidPro DLL is none on 25K, then $1.2K/$1.8K/$2.7K on larger sizes. LucidDaily's own evaluation article lists no Daily Loss Limit column at all across any size (no default DLL stated). LucidDirect DLL: none on $25K, then a fixed $1.2K/$2.1K/$3K on $50K/$100K/$150K until the account closes above its Initial Trail Balance, after which the Fixed DLL is replaced by a LucidScale DLL equal to 60% of the highest end-of-day account profit (rises with growth, never decreases). |
| Consistency rule | Select evaluation has 40% consistency; Select Flex/Daily funded policies list no consistency rule. | LucidFlex payout page does not list a consistency rule; LucidPro payout path has separate consistency criteria. LucidDaily evaluation requires 50% consistency with, per Lucid's own copy, "cushion built in so you can pass in two days"; no consistency requirement applies once a LucidDaily account is funded. LucidDirect requires a 20% Consistency Percentage (largest single-day profit ÷ total account profit) to qualify for each payout; it resets after every approved payout and no longer applies once the account is promoted to live status. |
| Min trading days | Select evaluation requires at least 3 trading days. | LucidPro says pass in one trading day. LucidFlex payouts require 5 profitable days. LucidDaily states no fixed minimum days, only that its 50% consistency cushion allows a pass in as little as two days. LucidDirect has no evaluation and no fixed payout window — a payout can be requested any day once the profit-goal and consistency criteria are met. |
| Payout | 90/10 split for both funded policies. Flex: every 5 winning days (winning-day profit threshold $100/$150/$200/$250 for 25K/50K/100K/150K), no minimum balance required. Daily: daily eligibility once above buffer, $250 minimum payout, Daily Continuity Rule caps each request at 2x cycle profit. Payout caps are now grandfathered by purchase date (effective Sep 1, 2026, already in force as of this check): accounts purchased before Sep 1, 2026 keep the prior caps -- Flex $1.25K/$3K/$4K/$5K, Daily $600/$1K/$1.5K/$2.5K (25K/50K/100K/150K); accounts purchased on or after Sep 1, 2026 get Flex $1.25K/$2.5K/$3.5K/$4.5K and Daily $600/$1.25K/$1.75K/$2.5K. Both policies require positive net profit each cycle for payouts after the first. | LucidFlex: 90/10 split, request any day after criteria, funds within 2 business days, $500 minimum, 50% of profit up to $1K/$2K/$2.5K/$3K, up to 5 payouts before live review. LucidDaily: also 90/10 split, no fixed payout window and no payout-count cap — instead, a payout requires profit above a buffer balance (Max Loss Limit + $100, i.e. $26.1K/$52.1K/$103.1K/$154.6K by size) plus positive net profit since the last payout, $500 minimum request; a separate maximum-daily-sim-profit cap ($6K/$8K/$10K/$12K by size) auto-promotes the account to live if met or exceeded on any single day. LucidDirect: also 90/10 split, $500 minimum request, a per-cycle profit goal ($1.5K/$3K/$6K/$9K on $25K/$50K/$100K/$150K for the first payout, lower on payouts 2+) plus the 20% consistency check, payout caps of $1K/$2K/$2.5K/$3K on payouts 1-3 rising to $1K/$2.5K/$3K/$3.5K on payouts 4-5, funds deducted within minutes of approval and disbursed within 2 business days. |

Cost beyond the sticker. Tradeify runs a One-time evaluation purchase model — Permanent Flex versus Daily payout choice changes caps, buffer, and DLL behavior; payout caps additionally now vary by purchase date after the Sep 1, 2026 grandfather split (see payout field). Lucid Trading runs a One-time evaluation purchase model — LucidFlex payout caps and discretionary live-review transition affect expected value. LucidDaily's daily-profit cap functions similarly (hit it and you're auto-promoted live, capping simulated upside for that day).
