Is StackEdge or Pokerbase the better poker tracker?
Pokerbase is a solid cross-platform poker tracker. StackEdge is the iOS-native choice for live grinders. Pokerbase wins if you need Android support. StackEdge wins on live-session ergonomics (the lock-screen timer plus Dynamic Island), the depth of the sold-action / backer module, and the breadth of the analytics suite. Both have free tiers; pricing on Pro is comparable.
