Pivex Launches Membership, a Monthly Plan for Challenge Accounts

Unused accounts bank as credits traders can activate later, and the recurring price lowers the cost per attempt

TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA, August 27, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Pivex, a prop firm running one-step evaluation challenges, has introduced Membership, a recurring purchase model for challenge accounts. It sits alongside the existing one-time purchase rather than replacing it, and both are open to new and existing users.

Under the one-time model, a trader pays once and receives one account. Membership works on a monthly cycle. Every billing period grants a new challenge account, and unused accounts accumulate in the trader's balance as credits. The price per account is lower than buying the same account outright. The value is tied to the subscription staying active.

The change addresses a cost structure that has been fixed across the prop trading sector for years. A prop firm challenge has almost always been sold as a single unit at a single price. That suits the trader who passes first time. It works against the trader who needs several attempts to settle into the rules. Membership prices the second case directly.

"Most traders do not fail a challenge because the rules are unreasonable. They fail because the first attempt is where the learning happens, and until now that learning has been billed at full price every single time. Membership prices the way people actually get good at this," Pivex said.

How the model works

Membership opens at an introductory rate for the first month. As of August 2026 a $10,000 account starts at $25, a $25,000 account at $50, a $50,000 account at $100, and a $100,000 account at $150, with all amounts in U.S. dollars. The introductory rate applies to a trader's first Membership at a given account size. Full current pricing for every account size is published on the Pivex Plans page.

Billing is monthly only and follows the trader's own purchase date rather than a shared calendar date. Billing pauses at the funded stage, since Membership is designed to cover the challenge phase.

Accounts granted by a billing cycle are held as credits rather than opened on the trading platform immediately. Nothing is created until the trader activates it. Credits remain available for three months and expire if unused.

What changes after a breach

The credit balance is the practical difference between the two models. A trader on Membership who breaches an account can activate a credited account at no additional cost, wait for the next billing cycle, or buy immediately. A trader on a one-time account has only the purchase route, because no credits are generated and one-time accounts cannot be reset.

Membership challenge accounts are also exempt from the inactivity rule while the plan is active. Progression to the funded stage requires the Membership to be active at the point the account is marked as passed. Account credits freeze alongside the paused Membership rather than expiring.

Traders are not asked to choose. A one-time account and a new Membership can run at the same time, each keeping the rules of the model it was bought under. There is no cap on how many Memberships a trader can hold.

Availability

Membership is available now to all Pivex users across the account sizes listed above. Challenge rules, profit targets and loss limits are identical under both purchase models. The Pivex AI Challenge Assistant remains a separate one-time add-on.
