The short version
What actually separates them
One field on the record splits Blue Guardian Futures and FundedNext Futures. Everything else below either matches or is not on the record yet.
Entry cost for the cheapest account each firm sells, before any live discount.
Identical on both: drawdown model, consistency rule, daily loss limit.
Not comparable yet: activation fee, minimum days to a first payout, trader profit split — at least one of the two firms has no figure on record, so we do not draw a conclusion from it. A blank here means we have not confirmed the rule, not that the firm has none.

Where each firm is stronger
A dash means the factor is unscored for that firm — the evidence it needs (a founding year, a public review sample) is not on record, so its weight moves to the factors that do have evidence rather than counting as a zero.
