LineDrift is a sportsbook companion and live value-finder — live alerts when a betting line drifts too far from its close. Every game starts with the closing line: the market's final, sharpest number, with every injury, matchup, and sharp dollar priced in. Then the game starts, a favorite falls behind, and the live line balloons. When it crosses the DriftPoint — a threshold computed fresh for every single game — LineDrift fires the alert. You check your sportsbook, take the better number, and get on with your life. The whole play takes about a minute. NO RESEARCH. NO BOOSTS. JUST VALUE. • DriftAlerts the moment a live line crosses its DriftPoint • NFL, College Football, and College Basketball — the leagues where teams fight back • Every alert graded against the final score, automatically — the record is public, wins and losses alike • Track your own record with "Caught the Drift" • Filter by league, hide finished games, hide underdogs — a feed that only shows you games worth your attention A RECORD WE CAN'T FUDGE When an alert fires, its DriftPoint is locked. At the final whistle the game is graded against that number — no cherry-picking, no deleted losses, no screenshots of winners only. Judge the tool on its actual performance. PLANS • FREE — one league of your choice for the season, ad-supported • PRO LITE — every league, all year, ad-supported • PRO — zero ads and push notifications the instant a line crosses its DriftPoint Subscriptions are purchased at linedriftbets.com.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: LineDrift at none against Simple Handicap's 2. LineDrift also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Simple Handicap's advantage is ratings volume (383 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.4). On price, update cadence, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
