What it costs
One price for the pool, paid by whoever runs it. No per-player fees, no cut of the pot, and nothing taken mid-season.

That is the whole price. Stripe’s card fee of $1.11 comes out of it, not on top — we keep $26.84. Nothing is added at checkout.

Each band prices only the entries inside it, so the bill never jumps and never drops. The rate falls as the pool grows, so the bigger it gets the less each person costs. Most hosts charge the same per head however many you invite.
No percentage of the prize pool. No player fees. One payment.
Free while we’re in beta
Nothing to pay this season and no card to enter. The price above is what we plan to charge after it, so you know what you are getting into.
- Players never pay. Only whoever runs the pool ever will.
- Free through the first week of the season, with no card to enter.
- No ads — and never a sportsbook ad, whatever they offer.
- We never hold or move prize money. That stays between you and your group.
- Nothing auto-renews. You get an email in August and decide then.
Pools are private to the people in them — there is no public board to browse, and your picks stay yours until kickoff. We never hold or move prize money; that is between you and whoever runs your pool.
