Best Pokerbase Alternatives in 2026 (Free and Paid)

Pokerbase is the most complete bankroll tracker on phones: staking, a social feed, a hand recorder, imports from other apps and free tracking. It is also the reason many players go looking for something else. Some want a computer, some want less, and some do not want to pay for staking tools they never use.

This page compares five alternatives with Pokerbase on what actually differs: devices, what is free, price, staking and how to move your data.

Why players look for a Pokerbase alternative

The most common reasons, from what Pokerbase does and does not offer:

• A computer is not its home. Pokerbase's own pages describe iOS and Android apps that sync between devices. Its website has a sign-in page, but the site does not say what you can do there, so if you want to track on a laptop, check that first.
• The paid plans cost more than the rest. Pro is $12.99 a month and Elite $39.99 a month on the US App Store, the highest prices in this comparison.
• It does more than some players want. Staking, feeds, followers and messages are the point for some players and noise for others who only want their results.
• They want different extras. Answers about their own results, satellite tickets, or a single iPhone app with no account at all.

Its US App Store reviews add some history. Reviewers praise the design and the range of features. The complaints cluster in 2019 to 2022, when the app crashed on newer iOS versions for a long stretch; it has been rebuilt since, and the few recent reviews are mostly feature requests, such as rebuys and re-entries for tournaments, plus one long-time user unhappy that features which used to be free moved to paid plans.

If none of these apply to you, Pokerbase is a strong choice, and the section on who should stay says so plainly.

Pokerbase alternatives at a glance

1. PokerRoll: phone and computer, and answers about your own results

PokerRoll is our app. Against Pokerbase it trades the open social side and your backers' own view for two things Pokerbase does not have: a full web app on the same account as the phone apps, and PokeAI, an assistant that answers questions about your own sessions with numbers worked out by a calculation engine rather than guessed by a language model.

For live tournament players it records the tournament in detail: rebuys, add-ons and bounties as they happen, multi-day events day by day, and satellite tickets that can be won, used in a main event or sold.

Its social side stays between friends. You add people with a private link or their exact username, share chosen sessions or all of them, react to each other's sessions and compete on a friends leaderboard. Nothing is shared until you turn it on, and notes are never shared.

What you give up compared with Pokerbase: live updates and reports for your backers (PokerRoll records your staking, but backers do not see it themselves), the open feed with following and direct messages, the hand recorder and offline use.

2. Poker Bankroll Tracker: the easiest move, and the most currencies

Poker Bankroll Tracker has been around since 2015 and is the most open of the group about data. It imports CSV files from 15 trackers, Pokerbase among them, has a public API, and supports more than 40 currencies including Bitcoin and USDT. A browser version runs alongside the iOS and Android apps.

The free version shows ads and one bankroll at a time, and importing your Pokerbase data is a Pro feature. Pro is billed yearly or as a one-off lifetime licence, both far below Pokerbase Pro over a few years.

3. Poker Analytics 7: staking and statistics without the social side

If staking is what keeps you on Pokerbase, Poker Analytics is the closest match without the feed. It tracks staking with packages and swaps, records and replays hands, and adds custom fields, house games and even betting and investment modules. It imports from more apps than anyone else here, with an alpha-stage import from Pokerbase.

The catch is the free tier: 25 records on iOS before a yearly plan is needed. There is no monthly plan and no web version, although it runs on Apple silicon Macs.

4. Poler: a cheaper, private tracker for iPhone

Poler costs $2.99 a month or $19.99 a year, the lowest price in this list, and asks for no account: your data stays on the phone with an iCloud backup. It still covers live play properly, with breaks, expenses, bounties and rebuys recorded as they happen and a Lock Screen Live Activity, and it handles multi-day tournaments and series trips.

It is iPhone only, the free version is three sessions long, and staking is limited to recording backers and deal splits.

5. Poker Stack: AI summaries and shareable cards on iOS

Poker Stack was rebuilt as version 3 in August 2026 around AI-written summaries of completed sessions and shareable result cards. It records stack checks during live play and can recover an interrupted session.

There is no free tracking: a weekly or yearly pass is required, it is iOS only, and import and export are not mentioned on its pages.

Who should stay with Pokerbase

Stay if your backers follow your results themselves. No other app here matches Pokerbase's live updates for backers and reports for stakers. Stay too if you use the open feed to follow players and message them, review hands with the hand recorder, or need to log sessions with no connection. Pokerbase is free for tracking, so if cost is the only issue, the free plan may already be enough.

How to switch from Pokerbase

1. Export what you can. Pokerbase offers PDF and Excel reports; keep a copy of your full history either way.
2. Pick an app that can read it. Poker Bankroll Tracker lists Pokerbase among its CSV imports, and Poker Analytics has a Pokerbase import in alpha. Test with a small file first.
3. Or bring it into PokerRoll. Attach the exported file in PokeAI, PokerRoll's assistant, on the web or in the app: it shows the sessions it found and their totals to compare, and saves nothing until you press Save. Starting fresh is fine too: record your current bankroll as a deposit and log sessions from today.
4. Run both for a week if you track live sessions, so you know the new app fits how you play before you stop using the old one.

Whichever you choose, the tracker matters less than the habit: every session, including the losing ones. The comparison of seven bankroll tracker apps covers the wider field, and the free poker calculators work without any app.
