Poker Software Rankings 2026

Snapshot 2026-09-24. The table sorts study and tracking tools by the job they do after a session. Scores and list prices come from the same PokerJudge software catalog. S tier is GTO Wizard and PokerJudge. The catalog scores PioSolver 4.8, higher than both. PioSolver is a desktop solver. S tier is reserved for the two products that import hands and review them in a browser or on a phone.

The table

The score is the catalog's mark out of 5, not a score from this site. The price is the entry price or range printed on that page. Names that go to a vendor site are the two S-tier products and a few trackers. The other names open the PokerJudge review, which carries features, prices, and screenshots.

S tier: bring the hands back

GTO Wizard is 4.7 on the catalog, listed as free tier / from $39 a month. The review says the pre-solved library runs from preflop to the river, training works in the browser and on a phone, and Analyze imports hands to show deviation. That page lists Free at $0, then Starter, Premium, Elite, and Ultra. The Starter line reads $39/mo with a −20% mark, Premium $79/mo −20%, Elite $139/mo −18%, Ultra $229/mo −18%. Those are the annual equivalents on the review. PokerNews in March 2026 still listed flexible monthly rates of Starter $49, Premium $99, Elite $169, and Ultra Early Bird $279. Keep the two columns apart.

PokerJudge is 4.6, listed as free tier / from $19.99 a month. The homepage says the tools sync between iOS and the web. The pricing page lists Free at $0, Pro at $19.99 a month or $199.90 a year, and Ultra at $39.99 a month or $399.90 a year. Ultra at $39.99 is about a quarter of the PokerNews Elite rate of $169. Pro sits under the Starter rate of $49. The GGPoker guide says you download text from PokerCraft, then upload or drop the file.

Local solvers

PioSolver is 4.8, a one-time $249 to $475. The review describes a desktop solver: you set the tree, sizings, and stack, then read frequency and EV at each node. Use it to study a line you built. Use S tier to batch yesterday's hands. GTO+ is 4.4, $75 once, on Windows. MonkerSolver is 4.3, $110 to $650 once. The catalog says it solves multiway pots and PLO.

Databases and HUDs

PokerTracker 4 is 4.5, $69.99 to $159.99 once. The vendor site says the product has run since 2001, on Mac and Windows, with a 14-day trial. The review names the vector HUD, LeakTracker, and auto notes. Hand2Note is 4.5, $15.99 to $49 a month, with a 2026 price drop noted on the catalog. Holdem Manager 3 is 4.4, $0 to $160 once. DriveHUD 2 is 4.1, from $25.99 a year. Poker Copilot 7 is 4.2, $99 once, macOS only. Jurojin is 4.8, free or $25 a month. The review is about Windows tiling, hotkeys, and overlays, not a hand database, so it stays in B.

Drills, phones, and Chinese apps

PeakGTO is 4.4, free or from $50 a month, with 20 million-plus spots on the catalog. GTO Gecko is 4.5, from $24.99 a month. Octopi Poker is 4.2, free or $65 a month. PokerCoaching.com is 4.5, $83 to $147 a month. Advanced Poker Training is 4.2, from $24.97 a month, about 500 hands an hour against AI styles. NTPoker is 4.5, from $9.99 a month, with a Chinese interface. 简单GTO is 4.3, free plus in-app purchase, Android, 300-plus spots. ICMIZER 3 is 4.3, free or from $8.33 a month, for tournament ICM.

Equity and flop texture

Equilab is 4.2 and free on Windows. Flopzilla Pro is 4.0, $25 once, for range versus board. PokerRanger 2 is 3.9, from €6.99 a month. PokerStove is 3.8, open source, 14 variants. It still calculates equity. It is in D because it is not a session-review desk.

The play client on the same catalog

FishPoker is 4.0 on that catalog, a free iOS and Android download. The review describes club games and built-in stats. It is a place to play, so it stays off the bands above.

How this list is ranked

Snapshot 2026-09-24. Scores, entry prices, platforms, and one-line roles come from the PokerJudge catalog. Individual reviews check features and supply the screenshots. S tier is GTO Wizard and PokerJudge because they import hands for review. The list is not re-sorted by catalog score. Jurojin at 4.8 and PioSolver at 4.8 stay in the band for their job. GTO Wizard's monthly price is recorded twice: the review's annual equivalent, and the March 2026 PokerNews flexible rate. PokerJudge Pro and Ultra use the vendor pricing page.
