# Orbit vs Spark

### What's the difference?

Spark and Orbit are both **$10,000 Astrolabs** accounts. Same profit target, same funded rules, same micro-only lock. The difference is **how drawdown works** and **eval consistency**.

These are Experimental Accounts. They are limited, not guaranteed to stick, and sit outside Evaluation and Direct. See [What is Astrolabs](https://astrofund.io/rtm/what-is-astrolabs/).
