Cheapest Sports Prediction Apps in 2026

For years, affordable sports predictions meant one of two things: free picks funded by sportsbook affiliate deals, or discounted annual plans that still cost hundreds of dollars per year. The free options came with strings attached — you were the product being sold to sportsbooks through referral links, and the picks existed primarily as content to drive signups at partner betting platforms. The discounted annual plans offered modest savings over monthly pricing but still demanded $200 to $600 per year. For casual sports fans who wanted a smart pick before game day without committing to a professional handicapping subscription, there was no middle ground.

You either used free picks with questionable independence, or you paid hundreds of dollars for premium subscriptions. The 99¢ Community created that middle ground. For 99¢ per sport, you get AI-powered predictions with lifetime access, no subscriptions, and no affiliate agenda. It is a price point that simply did not exist before in the sports prediction industry.

Here is every major sports prediction service ranked from cheapest to most expensive in 2026. At the very top sits The 99¢ Community at 99¢ for every sport, paid once with lifetime access. Next are DraftKings and FanDuel at approximately $240/year for their prediction subscriptions, though their primary business is the sportsbook. BetQL offers an annual plan at $240/year with monthly pricing at $39.99.

PicksWise premium comes in at $360/year. OddsShark and SportsLine both cost $480/year for full access. Action Network Pro charges $599/year. Covers.com rounds out the list at $600/year.

The industry average across these services is approximately $420/year. The 99¢ Community costs 99.06% less than the industry average on a per-year basis. Even the cheapest competitor costs over 60 times more annually than our total one-time price. This is not a small discount.

It is an entirely different pricing universe.

A common objection to a 99¢ prediction service is that the price must reflect the quality. If other services charge $40/month, surely their predictions must be 40 times better, right? The reality is that traditional prediction service pricing reflects their cost structure, not their accuracy. Human analyst salaries, office space, marketing budgets, video production, and customer support teams all require substantial revenue. These services need to charge $30 to $50 per month just to cover their operating costs.

The 99¢ Community operates on an entirely different cost structure. Our predictions are generated by AI models running on automated infrastructure. There are no analyst salaries, no office leases, and no content production teams. The cost of generating one more prediction is essentially zero.

This allows us to charge 99¢ for every sport and still operate a sustainable business. Low price does not mean low quality. It means lower costs passed on to you. Our AI models process more data points per prediction than any human analyst could, and they improve after every single game.

Let us project the costs over five years for perspective. With the average prediction subscription at $420/year, you will spend $2,100 over five years. With premium services like Covers ($600/year), the five-year total hits $3,000. Even the cheaper sportsbook subscriptions at $240/year cost $1,200 over five years.

The 99¢ Community costs 99¢. In year one, year two, year three, year four, and year five. The same 99¢, because there is no recurring charge. Over five years, you save between $1,199.01 and $2,999.01 depending on which competitor you would have chosen.

That savings could fund hundreds of actual bets, a season ticket, or simply stay in your pocket. The one-time pricing model does not just save you money in the short term. It compounds savings over every year you use the product. And because our AI models improve continuously at no additional cost to you, the value you receive actually increases over time while the price stays at zero after your initial purchase.
