Slate runs your football pool and does the bookkeeping for you. Weekly against-the-spread pick'em, NFL survivor, CFB underdog, and squares pools, with real Vegas lines and live scores pulled in automatically, every pick graded the moment games go final, and a season-long leaderboard that keeps itself. TWO WAYS TO USE IT Running the pool? Set the rules once, then post each week however your group already works: paste the group-chat message, scan a screenshot, or build it right in the app. Slate handles the odds, the scoring, the standings, and the reminders. Just playing in one? Your commissioner doesn't need Slate. Pull in the week's games and lines, lock in your picks, keep your season history, and copy a clean list to paste back into the group chat. It's your own command center for someone else's pool. WHAT YOU GET - Pick'em, survivor, underdog, and squares, college or NFL - Vegas odds and live scores, kept fresh until kickoff - Automatic grading and a live leaderboard, no spreadsheet - A weekly picks grid that stays hidden from other members until kickoff - Notifications you control by type and by league, including a ping the moment a game you picked finishes - Perfect-week, streak, double-down, and game-of-the-week tracking Slate doesn't take bets, hold money, or pay out winnings. Buy-ins, if your pool has them, are settled between members the same way they always were.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Slate Pools at none against VSiN Watch's shown. Slate Pools also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). VSiN Watch's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Slate Pools holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VSiN Watch has 1.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
