USD 7 round turn
Prime lists USD 3.50 per standard forex lot per side. The separate ECN tier's USD 1 per side is not the Prime rate. The USD 7 round-turn comparison is for one standard lot, before spread and other charges.

EUR/USD · USD account · one opening and closing trade. Both spreads start at an assumed 0.2 pips. Replace them with comparable quotes from the same trading session.
Difference under these inputs: $0.00. This excludes financing, slippage, currency conversion and other charges; it does not establish the cheaper broker overall.
Three differences to check before applying
Equal commission does not mean equal total cost
At one standard EUR/USD lot, an assumed 0.2-pip spread costs USD 2; add USD 7 commission for a USD 9 illustration at either account. A 0.1-pip spread difference changes that total by USD 1. Replace both assumed spreads with quotes from the same session, and include swaps separately for an overnight trade.
Compare activation requirements, not payment limits
For USD accounts, FXTM Advantage lists USD 500 and PU Prime Prime needs USD 1,000 to unlock trading. PU Prime's payment-method minimum does not unlock Prime by itself. Its USD 2 round-turn ECN rate requires a different USD 10,000 tier. Other account currencies have their own thresholds; confirm them before funding.
Check debit timing and small-lot rounding
FXTM MT4 collects the full round-turn forex commission at opening; MT5 splits it between entry and exit. PU Prime documents rounding each MetaTrader commission side: at 0.01 lot, USD 0.035 rounds to USD 0.04 per side, or USD 0.08 total. FXTM's exact small-lot rounding rule was not established by the sources checked, so a proportional calculator estimate is not an exact debit quote.
Funding, platforms and source notes
FXTM
The Advantage page lists 500 USD/EUR/GBP, 1,800 AED or 137,000 NGN by account currency. The USD example here uses USD 500. Confirm the account and payment method; this is not the entry amount for every FXTM account.
Advantage lists MT4 and MT5; Advantage Stocks is a separate account. The sources checked did not establish an exact small-lot rounding rule. Proportional calculator outputs are estimates, not confirmed small-trade debits.

The account table lists MT4, MT5, PU Web Trader and the PU Prime app. The calculator applies the documented MetaTrader rounding: at 0.01 lot, USD 0.035 per commission side rounds to USD 0.04, making USD 0.08 total.

Which accounts does the cost example compare?
FXTM: Advantage · MetaTrader · USD forex illustration. PU Prime: Prime · MetaTrader · USD forex illustration. This is a USD EUR/USD illustration. Published commissions are scoped to the linked account documents, and the starting spreads are assumptions. Other entities, platforms, account tiers and currencies may price differently.
Does the brand's regulation apply to my account?
The legal company on your agreement determines which regulatory rules apply. Match that company to the official register and check whether it accepts retail clients in your country. A brand-wide score or a licence held by another group company does not settle this.
Can I open an account through Clarytrade?
Clarytrade provides broker research and comparison tools. If you choose to apply, the broker handles your application, identity checks and acceptance. Some outbound links earn Clarytrade commission; others are research-only routes. Country availability and referral availability are separate checks.
