Illustration of three account cards labelled Sniper, Accelerate and Payday skipping an evaluation gate, representing FundedFuturesFamily's Lab plans.
01 What happened

Three funded accounts, no evaluation.

FundedFuturesFamily has introduced Sniper 25K, Accelerate 25K and Payday 50K under its Lab range. They give access to funded accounts through a one-time purchase fee, with no evaluation phase.

Check the name before you buy

FundedFuturesFamily uses similar names across ranges. The Accelerate 25K Lab plan ($39.99) is not the S2F Accelerate $50,000 instant-funded account ($499) that the firm launched on 15 September. Compare the specific plan page before assuming rules carry over.

02 What is confirmed

The three plans side by side.

Payout eligibilityDaily once eligible, $2,500 profit between requests5 trading days with at least $200 profit each, and only profit above the $1,100 buffer7 trading days with at least $200 profit each, and $3,000 profit between payouts
Payout caps$500 for the first two, then $1,000 from the third$500 per payout$1,000 for the first two, then $1,250

On Sniper 25K, the $2,500 profit needed between requests is five times the $500 cap on the first two payouts (our arithmetic).

03 What remains uncertain

Terms the announcement does not state.

  • ✓Profit split. It is not given for any of the three plans.
  • ✓Platform and data. The report does not say which platforms the accounts run on.
  • ✓Fees. It describes a one-time purchase fee, and does not say whether any other charges apply.
  • ✓Account nature. It does not say whether the "funded" accounts are simulated or live.
04 Why this matters

Cheap entry, with limits that do the work an evaluation would.

Removing the evaluation lowers the barrier to a funded account, and the Lab plans are priced from $39.99 to $79.99. The trade-off sits in the limits: small drawdowns, low payout caps and, for two of the three, a consistency rule.

Sniper has no consistency rule or daily loss limit, but its drawdown never locks and it takes $2,500 of profit between requests. Payday has the highest cap and a locking drawdown, but a hard daily loss limit and a 40% consistency rule. Accelerate is the cheapest, with a $1,100 buffer to clear before any withdrawal.

05 What happens next

What to confirm before buying.

Worth confirming directly with FundedFuturesFamily: the profit split on each plan, the platform, and whether the buffer and profit-between-payouts requirements reset after each payout.

06 Comparing your options

Comparing straight-to-funded accounts.

Straight-to-funded accounts trade a low entry price for tight limits and payout caps. If you would rather clear a standard evaluation, it is worth comparing against an established firm.
