The short version
What actually separates them
3 fields on the record split Goat Funded Trader and The5ers. 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, min days to first payout.
Not comparable yet: activation fee, 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.
