SwaptIQ helps fantasy managers evaluate trades before they hit send, for both fantasy football and fantasy baseball. Build a trade by searching for and adding players on each side, or import your league to pull in real rosters automatically. SwaptIQ connects to Sleeper and Fleaflicker leagues with just a league ID, and to Yahoo leagues with a Yahoo sign-in (Yahoo leagues available in the US and Canada). It handles simple two-team trades and multi-team deals with three or more teams, for NFL and MLB alike. Once your trade is built, SwaptIQ shows a clear fairness verdict with the reasoning behind it, so you can see exactly why one side may be getting the better end of the deal instead of trusting a black box score. Your league, your settings SwaptIQ values players using your league's real format. Sleeper leagues are detected automatically (dynasty or redraft, 1QB or Superflex/2QB, PPR and TE premium), and you can set league type and QB format yourself for any league. League insights Import a league and pick your team to see power rankings, positional strengths and weaknesses, and trade ideas: value-balanced trades that fill your weak spots from teams with depth to spare, ready to open in the trade builder with one tap. Features: - Player search and trade building for NFL and MLB - Multi-team trades with per-player recipient assignment - League import from Sleeper, Fleaflicker and Yahoo - Automatic league settings for Sleeper, including Superflex and redraft - Power rankings with League Landscape and Teams by Position charts - Trade ideas matched to your team's needs - Player cards with values, ranks and trends - Rest-of-season MLB player values for baseball trades - Fairness verdicts with clear, cited reasoning - Trade history so you can revisit past evaluations SwaptIQ Pro (optional subscription) Pro adds AI analysis on top of SwaptIQ's numbers: - AI trade breakdowns: who wins, why, how each side fits its roster, and what would even it out - Team advisor: contender or rebuild, your strengths and holes, and your next moves - AI on trade ideas: ranked ideas with a pitch you can send the other manager - League overview: tiers and storylines for your whole league - SwaptIQ Pro Monthly: $5.99 per month, up to 150 AI uses per month - SwaptIQ Pro Yearly: $29.99 per year, up to 1,500 AI uses per year Everything outside the AI features is free.

You can manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. SwaptIQ is built for dynasty, keeper and redraft managers who want a straight answer on whether a trade is fair, not a mystery number they have to trust blindly.
