Which prop firms pay fastest, and what speed costs
6 firms here list plans with daily payouts against 383 plans on the standard 14-day cycle. Speed is a product feature, and features are priced somewhere.

What the cycles look like
383 of the 769 plans recorded here pay on a 14-day cycle, 86 plans advertise daily payouts and 30 pay monthly. The daily plans come from 6 firms, so this is a feature a minority offer rather than an industry norm.
Treat the advertised cycle as the earliest possible date, not the expected one. Processing time, verification and the payout method all sit between the request and the money.
Minimum trading days come first
A daily payout cycle does nothing until the minimum trading days are met. 247 plans require three days and 143 require five, while 44 require only one. 4 firms offer at least one plan with a single-day minimum.
If you trade one session a day, a five-day minimum with a 14-day cycle means the first payout is a fortnight away regardless of how quickly you reach the target.
The consistency rule is the real delay
Most delayed payouts are not slow processing, they are a consistency rule. If one day accounts for too much of the total profit, the firm holds the payout until the rest catches up. That is a rule about the shape of your results, not about the calendar.
The consistency checker under Tools converts it into a number: how much more total profit is needed before an existing best day becomes compliant.
What speed usually costs
When a firm shortens the cycle, look for what moved in exchange. It is usually one of three things: a lower profit split, a higher fee, or a stricter consistency requirement. Comparing the payout cycle alone, without those three, is how a slower firm can end up paying more.
