Compare firms
Two whole firms side by side: what each publishes across markets, platforms, fees, loss models, permissions and payouts. Rex describes differences and never declares a winner.
Comparing two purchasable plans instead? Compare challenges.
Blue Guardian, operated by Iconic Exchange FZCO from Dubai, runs a 1-Step programme on a 6% trailing drawdown and an instant line that starts at a $5,000 account for $10. Its published payout guarantee pays the trader 100% of a withdrawal the firm fails to process within 24 business hours. Values below were researched from the firm's own pages but have not been read by Rex directly, so they display as unverified.
Atmos Funded runs 1-Step and 2-Step evaluations plus a $5 Nova challenge with no minimum trading days and no consistency rule. Its trailing drawdown stops advancing at the initial balance and locks there permanently once a payout is requested. Values below were researched from the firm's own rules and help pages but have not been read by Rex directly, so they display as unverified.

Quick highlights
The differences most likely to change a decision, stated neutrally. Rex names no winner, because which of these matters depends entirely on how you trade.
Market
Blue GuardianForex · CFD
Atmos FundedForex · CFD
Both operate in the same market, so their published rules use comparable units.
Entry price
Blue GuardianForex · CFD · USD · one-time · $10
Atmos FundedForex · CFD · USD · one-time · $5
Entry price is the advertised figure only. Activation and reset charges are recorded separately and often decide the real cost.
Profit split (base)
Blue Guardian90%
Atmos Funded80%
A published base share is a commitment. A ceiling with no stated base is not, and Rex records it as not published rather than as the headline number.
Choice of plans
Blue Guardian32 options
Atmos Funded36 options
More options means more chance of a size and structure that suits you; it says nothing about the quality of any single plan.
Evaluation structures

Atmos Funded1-step · 2-step · Instant
One-step and two-step evaluations distribute the same difficulty differently. Neither is easier as a rule.

This measures how much of each firm Rex could source, not how good the firm is. A lower figure means less was published, not worse terms.
What the split difference is actually worth
Your assumptions, each firm's published split. Not a forecast, and not a reason on its own to pick either firm.
A 8% return on $100,000 is $8,000 gross per cycle, before each firm’s split.

This is arithmetic on your own assumptions, not a forecast. It ignores the thing that actually decides the outcome — whether you can reach a payout at all under each firm’s loss limit — and it ignores activation fees, resets and trading costs. Use it to see how much the split difference is worth, then go and read the drawdown model.

Change history
Terms change quietly. Each change is recorded only when two accepted observations differ; an empty list is the honest state for a first-seen record.

Blue Guardian and Atmos Funded are described here from what each publishes. Where a field is blank for one firm and filled for the other, that is a difference in disclosure rather than a difference in quality.
