Every account type analyzed: I've compared every Breakout evaluation path — Classic 1-Step, Classic 2-Step, Pro, and Turbo — across all account sizes from $5K to $200K. The pricing, drawdown structures, and profit targets vary significantly between these options, and picking the wrong one costs real money.

The $100K account is the biggest evaluation Breakout offers in the Classic tier. It's also the most expensive at $999 per attempt. That's real money, and the question most traders ask is whether the cost is justified compared to smaller accounts or competing firms.
The short answer: yes, if you have the skills to pass. The long answer involves break-even math, profit potential, and a realistic look at how many attempts it takes.
What Does the Breakout $100K Account Include?
The $100K is available across all four evaluation types. Here's the full breakdown:
| Feature | Classic 1-Step | Classic 2-Step | Pro | Turbo |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fee | $999 | $749 | $849 | $799 |
| Target | 10% ($10K) | 5% + 10% | 22% ($22K) | Lower than Pro |
| Max Drawdown | 6% static ($6K) | 8% trailing ($8K) | 5% static ($5K) | 3% static ($3K) |
| Daily Loss | 3% ($3K) | 5% ($5K) | 3% ($3K) | 3% ($3K) |
| Fee Refund | Yes, 1st payout | Yes, 1st payout | Yes, 1st payout | Yes, 1st payout |
The Classic 1-Step at $999 is the most popular $100K option. It has the simplest rules: one phase, one target, static drawdown that never moves. I'll focus on this variant for the cost-benefit analysis since it's what most traders buy.
How Much Can You Earn with a Breakout $100K Account?
The profit math depends on your monthly return and profit split tier. Breakout starts at 80% and scales to 95%.
| Monthly Return | Gross Profit | Your Share (80%) | Your Share (90%) | Your Share (95%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3% | $3,000 | $2,400 | $2,700 | $2,850 |
| 5% | $5,000 | $4,000 | $4,500 | $4,750 |
| 10% | $10,000 | $8,000 | $9,000 | $9,500 |
| 15% | $15,000 | $12,000 | $13,500 | $14,250 |
At 80% split with a 5% monthly return, you're taking home $4,000/month from one $100K account. Two $100K accounts at the $200K aggregate cap: $8,000/month. At 95% split, that same 5% return generates $9,500/month from two accounts.
The first payout also includes the $999 fee refund. So your first month's take-home on a 5% return at 80% split is actually $4,999 ($4,000 profit share + $999 refund).
What's the Real Cost of the Breakout $100K Evaluation?
The sticker price is $999. The real cost is $999 multiplied by the number of attempts before you pass. And that's the number most traders don't calculate before buying.
| Attempts to Pass | Total Spent | Net Cost (after refund) | Months to Break Even (5%/mo, 80%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | $999 | $0 | 0 (fee refunded) |
| 2 | $1,998 | $999 | ~0.25 months |
| 3 | $2,997 | $1,998 | ~0.5 months |
| 5 | $4,995 | $3,996 | ~1 month |
| 10 | $9,990 | $8,991 | ~2.25 months |
If you pass on the first attempt, your net cost is $0 because of the fee refund. That's the best-case scenario and it makes the $100K account incredibly attractive.
If it takes 3 attempts, you've spent $2,997 with a net cost of $1,998 (one refund). At $4,000/month profit (5% return, 80% split), you break even in about two weeks of funded trading. That's still excellent.
The break-even gets uncomfortable around 10 attempts: $8,991 in net costs requiring over two months of funded profit just to cover your losses. At that point, you're in the red for a quarter and the psychological pressure mounts.
Is the $100K Worth It vs the $50K Account?
The $50K Classic 1-Step at $500 has identical rules: 10% target, 6% static drawdown, 3% daily loss. Half the capital, half the cost.
Two $50K accounts equal one $100K in capital but cost $1,000 total (vs $999 for one $100K). Essentially the same price. But two $50K accounts have a meaningful advantage: if you breach one, you still have the other.
The downside: managing two accounts simultaneously requires double the attention. If you're running different strategies or timing, it gets complicated.
My recommendation: if you've never passed a Breakout evaluation, start at $50K. Pass it. Understand the rules in practice. Then upgrade to $100K or buy two $50K accounts. The $500 you save on a failed first attempt is worth the slower start.
If you've already passed evaluations at other firms and know you can hit 10% with sub-6% drawdown, go straight to the $100K. The capital efficiency is better and managing one account is simpler.
Can You Run Two Breakout $100K Accounts?
Yes. Breakout's $200K aggregate cap allows exactly two $100K Classic accounts running simultaneously. Two $100K accounts at $999 each cost $1,998 total.
Alternatively, one Pro or Turbo $200K account fills the aggregate cap at $1,399 or $1,199. That's $599-$799 cheaper than two Classic accounts. But Pro and Turbo have harder rules — tighter drawdown, higher targets. The two-Classic approach is more expensive but more likely to succeed.
The aggregate cap applies across all account types. If you have one $100K Classic and one $100K Pro, that's your $200K limit. No additional accounts until you scale.
How Does the Breakout $100K Compare to Competitors?
At $999, the Breakout $100K Classic 1-Step is mid-range for crypto prop firms. FTMO's $100K is priced similarly with different target and drawdown structures. Smaller firms often undercut on price but lack the payout history.
The key differentiator for Breakout is the fee refund on first payout. Not all firms do this. When the refund kicks in, the net cost drops to $0, making any price comparison moot as long as you pass.
The 24/7 USDC payout is another competitive advantage. No waiting for scheduled payout windows. Hit your target, request a withdrawal, and receive USDC quickly.

Yes. Breakout allows two $100K accounts simultaneously, filling the $200K aggregate cap. Both accounts share the same profit split and payout structures. Total cost: $1,998 for two Classic 1-Step evaluations.
Is $100K or $50K better at Breakout?
Breakout's $50K at $500 has identical rules to the $100K at $999. First-time traders should start at $50K to learn the rules cheaply. Experienced traders should go $100K for capital efficiency. Two $50K accounts cost $1,000 total and give the same aggregate capital.
How many attempts does it take to pass the $100K?
Breakout doesn't publish pass rate data. Community estimates suggest 15-25% of Classic 1-Step evaluations pass. That implies 4-7 attempts on average, costing $3,996-$6,993 before one successful pass.
What happens if you fail the Breakout $100K evaluation?
Breakout permanently closes the account on any rule breach. No resets, no discounted retries. You buy a new $100K evaluation at full price ($999). The failed evaluation fee is not refunded.
Should you buy the $100K Classic or $100K Pro at Breakout?
Classic 1-Step at $999 for most traders. Breakout Pro at $849 is $150 cheaper but requires 22% profit target with 5% drawdown — a 4.4x target-to-drawdown ratio vs Classic's 1.67x. Only choose Pro if you have a documented history of 20%+ returns.
The bottom line: The Breakout $100K Classic 1-Step at $999 is a strong evaluation for traders who can consistently generate 10% returns with controlled drawdown. The fee refund on first payout makes the effective cost $0 if you pass, and the monthly profit potential ($4,000-$9,500) justifies the price quickly. The risk is cumulative failure costs — three failed attempts cost $2,997, five cost $4,995. Start with a $50K account if you haven't proven yourself yet. Graduate to $100K once you know you can pass. Two $100K accounts at the $200K aggregate cap is the optimal end-state for most Breakout traders.
