Lucid ($136 for LucidFlex) and Tradeify ($145 for Growth) are two of the cheapest one-time 50K evaluations we track, both with end-of-day drawdown and no activation fee. Lucid allows bots and has no consistency rule once funded on LucidFlex; Tradeify allows only your own non-HFT bots and adds a 35% rule to Growth payouts.
