Blue Guardian Pricing & Challenge Fees (2026)
How much does Blue Guardian cost?
Blue Guardian Pricing Overview
Blue Guardian currently shows 6 headline account sizes in our review data, from $5,000 up to $200,000. The visible price range runs from $40 to $736, but the real cost picture depends on which of the firm's 6 program types you choose: Instant, 1 Step Standard, 1 Step Nano, 2 Step Standard, 2 Step Nano, Futures (Standard / Reserve / Express / Direct).
Blue Guardian mainly presents its evaluation fees as upfront challenge purchases rather than recurring monthly subscriptions. We do not treat the fee as refundable unless the firm's own terms make that explicit.
Blue Guardian also has an active promotion at the time of review: BG25 for 25% off. That can materially change the effective entry cost compared with the list price.

Blue Guardian's extended pricing data shows separate published amounts by program rather than one flat challenge ladder. That matters because the cheapest route into the ecosystem is not always the same as the best value route once you compare drawdown rules and payout terms.

Visit Blue GuardianIs Blue Guardian Worth the Price?
Blue Guardian's value proposition is not just the sticker price. The more relevant question is what you get for the entry cost in terms of account scale, rule flexibility, payout access, and platform fit. In the current dataset, the fee range is $40 to $736, the maximum advertised allocation is $400,000, and the firm supports MT5, Match-Trader, NinjaTrader, TradeLocker, TradingView, Tradovate, DeepCharts.
- Profit Split: Up to 90% (a 90% split add-on is sold at checkout; select plans pay 100%) — competitive with the market average
- Fee Structure: mainly one-time challenge purchases are shown
- Fee Refund Signal: not clearly documented in the current review dataset
- Max Account Size: Access to $400,000 in funded capital
- Platform Access: MT5, Match-Trader, NinjaTrader, TradeLocker, TradingView, Tradovate, DeepCharts
- Payout Frequency: CFD: up to weekly (Instant pays on demand). Futures: every 3 days on Standard, daily on Express. Approved withdrawals are processed within 24 hours or the firm adds 10% to the split.
For traders comparing multiple prop firms, that usually means Blue Guardian is strongest when its rule structure and payout terms line up with your style. A cheaper fee can still be the worse deal if the drawdown model or payout cadence is less usable for the way you trade.
Blue Guardian Challenge Types
Blue Guardian offers 6 challenge formats: Instant, 1 Step Standard, 1 Step Nano, 2 Step Standard, 2 Step Nano, Futures (Standard / Reserve / Express / Direct). That makes a big pricing difference because instant programs, one-step programs, and multi-step evaluations usually target different trader profiles and risk tolerances.
The instant-funding angle changes the cost logic completely: traders pay more upfront in exchange for skipping a conventional evaluation. That can be attractive for experienced traders, but it also means the cheapest nominal fee is not always the most comparable option.
