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. The account ceiling is 5 funded accounts, or 8 if you hold Select 300K V2 accounts, which sit on top of the standard 5 and are themselves capped at 3 on that size.

Worst deal in Tier 1 (no public discount code, $5-6K payout caps on a 150K) but the most trustworthy payout record in futures prop: more than a decade, no credible non-payment scandal. Keep exactly one as the 'this check always clears' anchor. Two things to price in: the MLL resets to $0 permanently after every payout, so you are one bad day from losing the account; and the caps only double (to as much as $12,000) if you opt into the Daily Loss Limit add-on at purchase — without it, scaling withdrawals here is slow.
