Pay After Pass FAQ
What is a pay after pass prop firm?
A pay after pass (or "pay later") prop firm lets you start an evaluation for a small fee and only charges the full challenge fee once you actually pass. At FundedAxe you start any size for $9.99; the activation fee for your account size is charged only when you pass.
What happens if I fail the challenge?
Nothing further is charged. The evaluation cost you $9.99. You can start a fresh Pay After Pass evaluation whenever you're ready — each new attempt is $9.99 again.
When exactly is the activation fee charged?
Automatically at the moment you pass, using the payment method from your $9.99 checkout. The exact fee for your size and path is in the table on this page and is locked in when you start — it never changes mid-challenge.
Is pay after pass cheaper than paying upfront?
If you pass, the total is higher than an upfront FundedAxe Pro evaluation — that's the trade. What you're not doing is risking a few hundred dollars on an attempt that might fail. Traders who expect to pass first try often choose upfront; traders who want to cap the downside choose Pay After Pass.
Which account sizes can I start with pay after pass?
