Conclusion and Final Recommendation
Choose Blueberry Funded if you want a broker-backed environment, no time limits, an instant-funding option, low gold spreads, and a wider ladder of entry sizes starting at $2.5K. Choose FTMO if a long, proven track record, a very large and strongly-rated review base (4.8/5 across 43,000+ reviews), and an audited payout history are your priorities. Both cap simulated capital at $2,000,000 through scaling and pay up to a 90% profit split, so the trade-off is FTMO’s established reliability versus Blueberry Funded’s broker-backed flexibility.
