The short version
What actually separates them
3 fields on the record split Blue Guardian Futures and The Trading Pit Futures. Everything else either matches or is not on the record yet.
A consistency cap limits how much of your total profit one day may contribute, so a single outsized winner can delay a payout.
A daily loss limit ends the session, not the account — but it decides how many attempts a bad open costs you.
Entry cost for the cheapest account each firm sells, before any live discount.
Identical on both: drawdown model.
Not comparable yet: 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
Each side shows the plan whose score is that firm's grade.
A dash means the factor is not scored for that plan: we have not recorded the evidence it needs, such as the firm's founding year or enough of the plan's rules. Its weight moves to the factors that are scored rather than counting as a zero.
