Blueberry Funded — strengths & weaknesses
Pros
- Backed by Blueberry Markets, an ASIC-regulated Australian broker with ~8 years of brokerage operation — real infrastructure behind the accounts
- Four platforms — MT4, MT5, TradeLocker and DXtrade — a wider choice than most rivals
- Raw spreads from ~0.1 pips with a flat forex/gold commission and zero commission on indices, commodities and crypto
- Broad evaluation menu: 1-Step, 2-Step, Rapid, Synthetic and instant funding, from a low entry price
- 80% split scaling to 90%, bi-weekly payouts with no withdrawal fees
- No time limit on most challenge tracks; news trading, EAs and weekend holding permitted with restrictions
Cons
- The funded entity is registered offshore in St. Vincent and the Grenadines — the ASIC regulation covers the affiliated broker, not the prop product
- Polarised Trustpilot sentiment and a volatile published score, with recurring funded-account breach complaints at payout time
- Young firm (2024) — the long-term payout track record is still forming
- Excludes several regions, including US, Australian, Russian and UAE residents
The5ers — strengths & weaknesses
Pros
- Operating since 2016 — a decade of bi-weekly payouts with a ~16-day average payout time
- True instant funding on live accounts, doubling at each milestone up to $4M
- High Stakes two-step from just $19; 70% of the fee refunded with the first payout
- CME futures added in 2025 and US access restored via cTrader
Cons
- Low leverage (1:30) and mandatory stop-losses on Hyper Growth and Bootcamp programs
- Budget programs start at a 50/50 split until scaling milestones are hit
- Risk-department reviews at payout time have produced denial complaints from flagged accounts
