The complete fee schedule
The entry payment purchases a simulated evaluation attempt. Passing does not itself activate the funded account: the separate activation payment comes next. These are standard prices before any eligible checkout discount.
- $50,000: $5 entry + $150 activation after passing.
- $100,000: $10 entry + $260 activation after passing.
- $250,000: $25 entry + $520 activation after passing.
- $500,000: $50 entry + $999 activation after passing.
What happens if the evaluation fails?
A failed evaluation does not make the activation fee payable. The entry fee has already paid for that attempt; another evaluation is a separate purchase. Low entry cost does not remove the risk of accumulating fees through repeated attempts.
Budget using actual attempts rather than assuming that you will pass on the first try. Three $50K entries followed by one activation cost $165 at standard prices: $15 in entry fees plus $150 activation. This is an example, not a prediction of your passing probability.
Choosing $50K, $100K, $250K or $500K
Choose the activation amount you can afford as well as the headline account balance. A larger simulated account is not a cash deposit you can withdraw. It increases the dollar value of percentage targets and losses, while leaving the need for a workable strategy unchanged.
Keep the activation budget separate from living expenses. If you cannot afford the later payment, a smaller account may be more appropriate than purchasing a larger evaluation simply because its entry fee looks inexpensive.
Fees do not replace the trading rules
PAPP requires a 10% target, with 3% daily and 8% maximum drawdown limits. Open losses matter because drawdown is measured on equity. A profitable closed balance does not reverse a previous equity breach.
Read the full rulebook and the selected checkout before paying. There is no consistency rule or evaluation time limit, but passing still requires compliance with the account rules.
Before you pay
Check the account size, entry amount and post-pass activation amount together. Review the payment method and any discount eligibility in checkout; do not assume that a promotion applies to every plan.

How the deferred-fee model works.
The standard single-phase program.
One phase is not automatically an easier evaluation.
These options can both involve one evaluation target, but they are not the same product.
An activation fee is a post-pass payment, not evidence that an account has already been issued.
