Topstep
Reduced pricing
Standard path monthly: $49 (50K) / $99 (100K) / $199 (150K), plus a $149 activation fee when you pass. No Activation Fee path: $95 / $149 / $229 monthly with a $0 activation fee. Reset fees match each path's monthly price. Adding a Daily Loss Limit at purchase discounts the No Activation Fee path by $10 (50K) / $20 (100K) / $30 (150K) and doubles the payout caps (per the official help centre price table, 2026-08-11).
