Which should you choose?
By trading style
| You are… | Pick | |
|---|---|---|
| Beginners | FundedNext | Lite starts at $32.99 with no deadline, but the 3% risk cap, mandatory stop-losses and post-pass compliance interview punish sloppy habits. |
| Experienced traders | FundedNext | The 2-Step's static 10% drawdown, $300K allocation, scale-up to $4M and same-day payouts suit disciplined traders who already size below 3% per idea. |
| Swing traders | Either | Blueberry Funded: Weekend and overnight holding are allowed on every program except 1-Step Flex, but one large winning day can trip the 15-30% consistency rule on Instant Lite and Synthetic. |
| Scalpers | FundedNext | Holding for a minute or more is fine, but sub-30-second profits above 30% of a cycle are forfeited, commissions run $5-7 per lot and gold spreads draw complaints. |
| EA & algo traders | Either | Blueberry Funded: Only self-coded EAs that execute the trader's own decisions are allowed, commercial and third-party EAs are banned outright, and false-positive "automated execution" breaches are a recurring complaint. |
| News traders | FundedNext | News is unrestricted in challenges and on futures, but funded and Instant CFD accounts count only 40% of news-window profit. |
Verdicts
Blueberry Funded verdict
Cheap and broker-backed, but a hidden TrustScore and breach-before-payout complaints are hard to ignore

FundedNext verdict
Fast, well-documented payouts and fair pricing, wrapped in one of the strictest post-pass rulebooks around
Best for: Disciplined manual traders who always trade with a stop-loss and want cheap two-step challenges with fast, documented payouts.
Avoid if: You scalp sub-30-second trades, run EAs on $50K+ accounts, pyramid swing positions past 3% open risk, or share a device with another trader.
