The short version
FTMO takes it overall on 8.2 against 5.3 — static drawdown and no time limit — the rules most traders can actually survive. Breakout is the better pick if what you need is the cheaper challenge.
One caution on reading the table: Breakout refuses our requests, so its rules were never read where they are published. That is scored openly as the evidence component, and the guide explains what it does and does not mean.
Both firms sell access to a simulated account rather than a financial service, so neither holds a licence anywhere — Breakout contracts from the United States and FTMO from Czechia.
