Which is cheaper, size by size
Blue Guardian is cheaper at 3 of the 3 sizes where both publish a price. Comparing the entry tier alone hides that: fee ladders do not scale at the same rate, so the cheaper start can become the dearer account.
| Account size | Blue Guardian | Fundedbit | Cheaper |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25k | $94 code NOV30 | $153 | Blue Guardian |
| $50k | $140 code NOV30 | $314 | Blue Guardian |

What the fee buys, and what it takes back
The $59 gap is 0.6 cheap attempts at the Fundedbit fee. The fee is also only the entry cost: at the headline split, Blue Guardian has to make $104 of profit before the attempt has paid for itself, and $191 at Fundedbit.
| Measure | Blue Guardian | Fundedbit |
|---|---|---|
| Fee for a $25k attempt | $94 code NOV30 | $153 |
| Fee per $1,000 of account | $3.76 | $6.12 |
| Profit needed to win the fee back at the headline split | $104 | $191 |
| Account destroyed on a bad day (drawdown in dollars) | $1,500 (6%) | $1,500 (6%) |
| Drawdown type | Trailing | Trailing |
Cost per $1,000, the break-even profit and the cost of 1% of drawdown are our arithmetic from each firm's published fee, split and limit; each drawdown figure is the firm's own percentage for the plan that fee buys, applied to a $25,000 balance.
Getting the money out
Blue Guardian pays Crypto (BTC/ETH/USDT, $100 min, under $5,000) / Rise Works (bank, $500 min), Fundedbit pays Crypto payouts (firm's zero-denial policy). Timing is not the same either: Instant accounts on-demand; challenge accounts every 14 days, 7-day add-on; processing within 24 business hours against After the profit split day, on request.
Worth checking against your own cash-flow: a fast rail that pays into an account you then have to move is not the same as one that lands where you spend it.
Where they actually differ
- Verification differs: Blue Guardian verifies identity before the first payout, Fundedbit verifies identity before the account activates.
- Payout rails are not the same: Blue Guardian pays Crypto (BTC/ETH/USDT, $100 min, under $5,000) / Rise Works (bank, $500 min), Fundedbit pays Crypto payouts (firm's zero-denial policy).
- at $25k the target is 9% (1 Step Standard) for Blue Guardian, 10% (1-step) for Fundedbit.
- how far each one scales, Blue Guardian: $400,000 active funded allocation; scaling plan to $4,000,000; Fundedbit: $100,000 per account.
The decision rule
If the first attempt is a test rather than a plan, Blue Guardian at $19 with code NOV30 costs less to be wrong about. If identity documents are the sticking point, note that Blue Guardian verifies identity before the first payout and Fundedbit verifies identity before the account activates.
