PLAY WITH YOUR PEOPLE • Create a private group for your mates, office, or group chat. • Join a supporter group for your club and play alongside other fans. • Live leaderboards, matchweek results, and who-picked-what. FOLLOW THE SEASON • Real Premier League fixtures, kickoff times, and results. • Team pages, form, standings, and match previews with lineups. • Reminders so you never miss a pick. the13 is free to play.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for GoodRec against 5.0 for the13. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GoodRec has 14K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 84% of GoodRec's written reviews are positive against 100% of the13's.
GoodRec ships an update fortnightly, the13 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
