The short version
What actually separates them
On every field we hold for both firms, FTMO and Sure Leverage Funding publish the same answer. The score difference below comes from track record, reputation, and transparency rather than from the rules you trade under.
Identical on both: drawdown model, daily loss limit, min days to first payout, trader profit split.
Not comparable yet: consistency rule, starting price, activation fee — 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.
