The short version
What actually separates them
On every field we hold for both firms, Instant Funding and Lark 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.
Not comparable yet: consistency rule, daily loss limit, starting price, 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.

Fig. 02 — Score breakdown
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.

Compared at a $100,000 account
| At $100,000 | Instant Funding | Lark Funding |
|---|---|---|
| Max drawdown | Not recorded | Not recorded |
| Profit target | Not recorded | $10,000 |
A bigger max drawdown gives more room; a lower profit target is easier to clear. A dash means that figure is not on record at this size, so no checkmark is awarded either way. Review the exact figures for your selected account.
