There’s no single “best” — there’s the best for you. Want staking and social? Pokerbase. A free starting point? Poker Stack or Poker Bankroll Tracker. A one-time price? Poker Income. Private, cross-platform, and honest about variance? That’s where StackWise comes in.
How we ranked them
No affiliate links, no paid placements, and we name the one criterion we weight most heavily — statistical honesty — because it’s the thing StackWise is built around and the thing the category most often gets wrong. We judged each app on:
- Honest stats — does it show confidence ranges and sample-size context, or a flattering headline number?
- Privacy — does your bankroll data stay on your device, and can you skip an account?
- Platforms — iOS, Android, or both.
- Price — and the shape of it (free, subscription, one-time).
- Maintenance — is it actively kept up?
| App | Platforms | Price (headline) | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| StackWise | iOS & Android | Free · Pro $4.99/mo · $39.99/yr | Private, honest tracking on either platform |
| Left Pocket | iOS only | Pro $39.99/yr · Lifetime $149.99 | A polished, modern iOS-only tracker |
| Pokerbase | iOS, Android, Mac | Pro ~$99.99/yr and up | Staking, social, and cloud sync |
| Poker Analytics 6 | iOS & Android | Free + premium | Deep analysis; also privacy-minded |
| Poker Bankroll Tracker | iOS & Android | Free with ads · ~$10/yr | A free, ad-supported starting point |
| Poker Income | iOS, Android, web | $9.99 one-time | One-time price (but frozen since 2018) |
| Poker Stack | iOS & Android | Free + Pro | Free, simple, and good-looking |
The rivals, fairly
Left Pocket
The closest modern rival: a clean, well-designed tracker with a live timer and tidy reporting, and a one-time Lifetime option that subscription-averse players will like. Its limit is platform — it’s iOS only, so Android players are out, and like most trackers it leads on improving your win rate rather than qualifying it. See the full Left Pocket comparison.
Pokerbase
The category’s social and staking hub, on iOS, Android, and Mac, with a real backer marketplace and public profiles. If you sell action or follow other players, it’s purpose-built for you. The trade-offs are price (the most expensive tiers in the category) and that it’s account- and cloud-based by design. See the full Pokerbase comparison.
Poker Analytics 6
A serious, deep analytical tracker that — unusually — also markets itself as offline and private. It’s a genuinely strong choice for players who want maximum depth and already value privacy. StackWise’s contrast here isn’t privacy (Poker Analytics holds that ground too) but simplicity and the variance-honest stats model. See the full Poker Analytics comparison.
Poker Income & Poker Bankroll Tracker
Two long-running budget options. Poker Income is beloved for its $9.99 one-time price, but it’s been frozen since 2018 — see the Poker Income comparison. Poker Bankroll Tracker is free but ad-supported — see the PBT comparison.
Where StackWise fits
StackWise is the newest name here, so it hasn’t earned years of reviews yet — we won’t pretend otherwise. What it offers is a specific combination no one else in this list does all at once: iOS and Android, no account and nothing leaving your phone, a modest price, and — the part we care about most — stats that are honest about variance. It pairs every win rate with a 95% confidence range and a sample-size label, and won’t show you a number your sample can’t support.
You don’t have to take our word for it — the win-rate confidence calculator and the variance simulator run the exact thinking StackWise applies to every session, free and in your browser.
The private, honest pick — on iOS and Android.
No account, nothing leaving your phone, and a win rate that admits when your sample is too small. Free to start.
