The amount is negotiated rather than published as a flat rate, because it depends on the country, the funding size and the traffic source. The figure above is the ceiling, not the default, and a comparison that puts a competitor's entry rate against our ceiling is exactly the kind of thing this site tries not to do.
When CPA genuinely wins
On traffic that converts once and does not persist. Broad paid media, incentivised signups, and campaigns measured and closed inside a quarter all produce funded accounts with a short average life. In that shape a fixed amount collected quickly beats a continuing share that never accumulates, and it beats it decisively.
If that is your traffic, take the CPA. We would rather have you on the model your traffic actually suits than have you leave in three months because the model we pushed did not pay.
When it loses, and by how much
On any audience you stay in contact with, it loses. A one-off payment is flat across a trader who trades once and a trader who trades daily for three years, and the second of those is worth many multiples of the first on a revenue share. The crossover is usually earlier than partners expect, and after it the gap widens every month.
It also changes what you are incentivised to do. On a per-signup payment your interest ends at the funded account. On a revenue share your interest is aligned with the trader's ability to keep trading, which means better material and better risk education are directly worth money to you.
- You keep nothing when the trader is still trading in year two
- The payment carries 30 days, so a fast churn can cost you the payment as well as the tail
- It gives you no reason to care whether the trader survives, which your audience can tell
The option in between
If the appeal of CPA is cash flow rather than total earnings, the hybrid deal is usually the better answer: $100 per funded client plus 25%, so some of the money still arrives when the client funds and the rest keeps accumulating. Compare all three with your own churn rate before deciding, and read the full comparison.
Questions
How much is the CPA?
Up to six hundred and fifty US dollars per funded trader, agreed on request. The exact figure depends on the country, the funding size and the traffic source, and the published number is the ceiling rather than a default.
Is CPA clawed back?
There is a thirty day clawback. The payment is made in advance of the trading it is paid for, so it has to be recoverable if the account is closed or reversed inside that window.
Why do you describe CPA as the weakest option?
Because on most partner traffic it is. It pays the same for a trader who trades once and one who trades for years, and it stops entirely after the first deposit. On traffic that converts once and churns quickly it is genuinely the best of the three, and we will tell you if that is what your traffic looks like.
