Quick answers

FundingPips vs Alpha Capital FAQ

  • 01

    Which side should I trust more?

    Use the side with stronger source coverage and rules that match your market. TSB Fit Score is a shortlist signal, not a guarantee.

  • 02

    Can a promo code change the decision?

    It can change checkout price, but it should not override drawdown pressure, payout terms, country availability, or platform fit.

  • 03

    What do the edge labels mean?

    Tie means the shown values match. Compare rules or terms means the details are not safely interchangeable. Verify data appears only when a selected value is missing. A named edge compares the displayed value, not qualifying-day definitions or payout eligibility.
