HOW WE RANK · § 5b UWG

Ranking Methodology

Which parameters determine the order of prop firms and accounts on PROPPED – and how community ratings work.

Last updated: 10 November 2026

01Trustpilot ranking

The default ranking sorts firms by their public Trustpilot score (TrustScore, 1–5). If two firms have the same score, the firm with more reviews ranks higher. Scores and review counts are checked regularly; the date of the last check is shown on the ranking page. PROPPED does not modify Trustpilot scores and does not accept payment for positions.

02Community ranking ⚡

Visitors can rate each firm from 1 to 5. The community ranking sorts firms by their average rating; firms need a minimum number of votes before they are ranked. One rating per person and firm is allowed – this is enforced with a hashed device identifier and rate limits (see Privacy Policy).

Important (§ 5b(3) UWG): we cannot verify that a person who rates a firm has actually bought an account from it. Ratings are not verified purchases. We remove ratings when we detect manipulation.

03Comparison tool

The comparison tool lists accounts of all firms we track. You choose the order yourself: price (low/high), biggest discount, biggest drawdown, drawdown per dollar, lowest profit target, Trustpilot score or account size.

The default order “Best match” combines: editorial labels (Top pick, Trending, New firm), an editorial priority per account based on our assessment of rules, value and reliability, then account size and price. Commercial partnerships can be one factor in editorial labels; they are disclosed in our Affiliate Disclosure.

04Discount codes and featured firms

Discount-code pages are sorted by the size of the current discount by default. Discounts come from our deal database and are updated when providers change them. “Our favourite firms” on the home page and “Top pick” labels are editorial selections, not a ranking result.

05No paid placements

We do not sell ranking positions. Should we ever show paid placements, they will be clearly labelled as “Sponsored”.
