Our take
Which should you choose?
Blueberry Funded rates marginally higher on our scorecard, but "better" depends on what you trade and the rules you can live within. Read each verdict, then verify the figures for your exact product before buying.
Blueberry Funded markets itself on a broker-backed model with a clear rule structure, low entry sizes, and flexible payout options. The main open questions are corporate transparency (founding/HQ) and the specific platforms behind the accounts.
The5ers is one of the more established names in the space, with a clearly documented High Stakes ruleset and a profit split that scales meaningfully for consistent traders. The 'profitable days' requirement and MT5-only core product are tradeoffs worth weighing, and a few payout specifics need confirming at checkout.
