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 | FXIFY | Cheaper |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25k | $94 code NOV30 | $249 | Blue Guardian |
| $50k | $140 code NOV30 | $499 | Blue Guardian |
| $100k | $279 code NOV30 | $999 | Blue Guardian |
What the fee buys, and what it takes back
Put differently, the difference is 1.6 more of the cheapest evaluation. 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 $311 at FXIFY.
| Measure | Blue Guardian | FXIFY |
|---|---|---|
| Fee for a $25k attempt | $94 code NOV30 | $249 |
| Fee per $1,000 of account | $3.76 | $9.96 |
| Profit needed to win the fee back at the headline split | $104 | $311 |
| 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), FXIFY pays Rise (bank rails) / USDC/USDT where Rise is unavailable. 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 Every 14 days, or monthly on the 100% split.
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
- Blue Guardian advertises the higher split ceiling (85% default, 90% with paid add-on).
- Payout rails are not the same: Blue Guardian pays Crypto (BTC/ETH/USDT, $100 min, under $5,000) / Rise Works (bank, $500 min), FXIFY pays Rise (bank rails) / USDC/USDT where Rise is unavailable.
- how far each one scales, Blue Guardian: $400,000 active funded allocation; scaling plan to $4,000,000; FXIFY: $100,000 per crypto account, no scaling.
The decision rule
At $25k, if you routinely risk more than 6% of the account in a session, FXIFY is the one that ends the attempt, not Blue Guardian. If the first attempt is a test rather than a plan, Blue Guardian at $19 with code NOV30 costs less to be wrong about.
