Meet the Prop Firms Top Research Desk

The Prop Firms Top Research Desk is the editorial team behind the site. It tracks prop firm prices, account rules, payout terms, restricted countries and payment methods, checks them against firms' official pages and rebuilds the rankings when they change.

What the desk does

• Collects prices, rules, payout terms and restricted countries from aggregated public comparison data and from firms' official pages. For 24 firms it built the whole record from the firm's own site.
• Checks records against firms' pricing pages, rules and terms, and logs every confirmed difference with its source and date. The corrections file holds 54 fixes, the latest from October 5, 2026.
• Runs the scoring formula and publishes it in full on the methodology page.
• Writes the firm reviews and edits the guides, and answers reader reports of wrong numbers.

The desk publishes as a team, so pages carry its byline rather than a personal one. How data is checked and fixed is set out in the editorial policy. One firm pays us affiliate commissions, our Editor's Choice, as our disclosure explains. Spotted an error? Let us know.
