Aqua Funded Pricing & Challenge Fees (2026)

Aqua Funded currently shows 6 headline account sizes in our review data, from $5,000 up to $200,000. The visible price range runs from $36 to $947, but the real cost picture depends on which of the firm's 4 program types you choose: One Step, Two Step, Instant Funding, Pro / Elite / Flex / Beginner tiers.

Aqua Funded mainly presents its evaluation fees as upfront challenge purchases rather than recurring monthly subscriptions. We do not treat the fee as refundable unless the firm's own terms make that explicit.

Aqua Funded does not have a verified active discount attached to this review right now, so the list price matters more when you compare it with rival firms.

This baseline table shows the cleanest price ladder we have for Aqua Funded. It is useful for comparing the raw entry cost, but traders should also look at the challenge type and rule set attached to each tier before deciding.

Aqua Funded's value proposition is not just the sticker price. The more relevant question is what you get for the entry cost in terms of account scale, rule flexibility, payout access, and platform fit. In the current dataset, the fee range is $36 to $947, the maximum advertised allocation is $400,000 (Instant; One Step and Two Step cap at $200,000), and the firm supports MT5, Match-Trader.

• Profit Split: 90% standard, 100% with the paid checkout add-on — one of the highest in the industry
• Fee Structure: mainly one-time challenge purchases are shown
• Fee Refund Signal: not clearly documented in the current review dataset
• Max Account Size: Access to $400,000 (Instant; One Step and Two Step cap at $200,000) in funded capital
• Platform Access: MT5, Match-Trader
• Payout Frequency: Bi-weekly, first reward after 7 days (on-demand available as an add-on)

For traders comparing multiple prop firms, that usually means Aqua Funded is strongest when its rule structure and payout terms line up with your style. A cheaper fee can still be the worse deal if the drawdown model or payout cadence is less usable for the way you trade.

Aqua Funded offers 4 challenge formats: One Step, Two Step, Instant Funding, Pro / Elite / Flex / Beginner tiers. That makes a big pricing difference because instant programs, one-step programs, and multi-step evaluations usually target different trader profiles and risk tolerances.

The instant-funding angle changes the cost logic completely: traders pay more upfront in exchange for skipping a conventional evaluation. That can be attractive for experienced traders, but it also means the cheapest nominal fee is not always the most comparable option.
