Apex wins if you only trade futures. A 100% split beats 90%, the discounting is genuinely aggressive, and being a US operation with a long futures track record matters to some traders. The trailing dollar-based drawdown is also simple to reason about.
Upcomers wins on breadth. If you want forex, crypto, indices, commodities and stocks from one funded account, Apex does not compete, because it does not offer them. The 24/7 markets product has no Apex equivalent either.
This one is unusually clean. Futures-only trader chasing the best split: Apex. Multi-asset trader who wants one account for everything, or who wants weekend markets: Upcomers. Check whether a futures account carries a monthly exchange data fee in either case, since that changes the running cost more than the headline price does.
