Apex runs a Trailing/EOD drawdown and Blueberry runs EOD or Trailing.
Trailing means the limit rises with your equity peak, open positions included: giving profit back can end the account even without a real loss. EOD only recalculates at the session close, which forgives intraday swings.
In practice that is -$1K a -$4K trail of room at Apex and $1K-$5K at Blueberry.
The cheapest entry is Apex, from $16.70 with the coupon applied at checkout, against $44.16 at Blueberry.
The discount differs too: 90% OFF at Apex and 60% OFF at Blueberry.
Add the activation fee at Apex before comparing: it is charged after you pass and never shows up in the evaluation price.
Blueberry charges no activation fee, so the price you see is the full cost up to the funded account.
On the split, Apex pays 100% up to $25K / 90% and Blueberry pays 90%.
Apex allows a payout from the first profitable day, which shortens the path between passing and getting paid.

Apex has no consistency requirement, so one strong day counts in full.
Blueberry enforces a consistency rule (Only on Funded), which stops a single day from carrying the whole result.
Minimum trading days: 8 at Apex and 2 at Blueberry.
Apex explicitly bans: Copy trading between accounts, Latency arbitrage.
Blueberry explicitly bans: Account hedging entre contas, HFT bots.
If the goal is testing the model on the smallest possible budget, Apex has the cheaper entry.
If reputation matters more than price, Apex is rated 4.2 on Trustpilot.
Platforms: Apex runs on Rithmic, Tradovate, NinjaTrader, WealthCharts; Blueberry, on Blackarrow. A strategy tied to one platform decides this on its own.
There is no better firm in the abstract: there is the one that matches your drawdown, your trading hours and how fast you need to withdraw.
