Our call: Tradeify (8.0 vs 5.0). The simple-and-safe pick: EOD-only drawdown on every product, one-time fee, 90/10 — but the row-by-row below shows where Lucid Trading still wins.

Tradeify in one paragraph
The 'simple and safe' pick: true EOD trailing drawdown on every product, one-time fee, no activation, 90/10 immediately, and a daily payout route (Select Daily). Only firm at this price with zero drawdown-switch gotcha. Respect the hedging auto-breach rule — opposing positions overlapping more than 10 seconds can kill the account and forfeit profits.

Terms remain good: EOD drawdown that locks at breakeven +$100, ~15-minute payout processing every 3 days (or daily), $185 one-time for a 150K, $0 activation, bots and stacking allowed. But four account-type restructures in under a year and funded-stage consistency rules (Pro 40% / Direct 20%) — a known denial trigger — mean the next dollar is better placed at MFF or Tradeify. Keep milking existing accounts.
