The short version
What actually separates them
One field on the record splits Lark Funding and The5ers. Everything else below either matches or is not on the record yet.
A daily loss limit ends the session, not the account — but it decides how many attempts a bad open costs you.
Identical on both: drawdown model.
Not comparable yet: consistency rule, 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.
