Draft Wizard & FantasyPros built a draft-week rental. We built a full-season war machine.
Not a hot take. A mismatch.
Who is Draft Wizard when the season starts? Who is FantasyPros when five leagues lock in 90 minutes? SnapFantasy is the private AI GM that still cooks after the draft — Snap Score, Sunday command, FAAB war rooms, trade politics, portfolio heat, and a brain that grades your misses. They sell rankings. We run the front office.
Private · Local-first · OpenRouter + optional FP · Built for killers in 3–10 leagues — not tourists buying another draft-week seat
This is not a respectful debate
Draft Wizard · FantasyPros · Host apps = cool toys in the wrong weight class.
The cheat code: FantasyPros = market prior. OpenRouter = judgment. Your private multi-league memory = moat. Draft apps die when the clock dies. We don't die.
The arsenal
Rankings apps clock out. Host apps keep score. SnapFantasy is the full category stack that decides real seasons — draft through autopsy. Open a card. Feel the weight class shift.
Draft Wizard is a co-pilot for one room. We run the whole airport.
FantasyPros doesn’t juggle five lock times. We do — before coffee.
Where “good luck this season” tools leave you on read.
Market heat + your budget across the book.
Packages, prove-it cards, rival dossiers.
Host apps are blind to Bijan in three money leagues. We’re not.
FantasyPros is fuel. We are the engine. Big difference.
Scout / Risk / GM / Cap — debate under spend caps.
Keep Sleeper/Yahoo free. Snap is the brain.
Draft tools don’t grade your bad flex.
Championship mode. Best ball. Dynasty. DFS.
Local-first. Keychain. Apple-native surface.
Inside the app
FP/market says #8·Snap says #4 because need + schedule
FP/market says #11·Snap says #6 because target share
FP/market says #15·Snap says #18 because stack later
Multi-league brief · lock chain · inactive apocalypse plan
FP/market says X · Snap says Y — every call shows the split.
Bijan Robinson in 3 money leagues
Warning: correlated upside in 3 money leagues. Consider diversifying WRs in Fun Bowl.
Flex: Flowers over Pittman — matchup smash + weather fade on IND.
Bid $11 on backup RB with path. Leave powder for bye week 9.
Package mid WR for RB2. Prove-it: playoff odds +4.2% if completed.
The only take that matters
They’re draft week. We're the season.
Rankings apps don't run lock chains, FAAB war rooms, or portfolio heat. Host apps don't learn when your flex was trash. We do — every week, every league, no apology.
Watch us dunk head-to-head →Head-to-head · no mercy
Yes, they're excellent at draft week. Host apps are excellent rooms. Then reality hits: five leagues, FAAB chaos, injuries, trade politics, playoffs — and those tools go radio silent. SnapFantasy stays loud. Different job. Unfair weight class. Bring a bigger lunch.
Frame the job:
The season gap
SnapFantasy optimizes your week across every league — Sunday GM, FAAB war room, trade desk, weather fades, championship packs, and a graded learning loop.
Full-season surface

30s clock auto-crossoff. Giant ECR. Years of polish. If fantasy is a three-hour hobby once a year, tip your cap and stay there.
They optimize draft week for millions of tourists. SnapFantasy optimizes YOUR entire season across every money league — lock chains, portfolio heat, agent debate, and a learning loop that gets personal.
Sleeper/Yahoo/ESPN are great rooms. They are not a private AI GM, not a multi-league risk book, and not a brain with your notes in every call. Rooms ≠ front office.
No live rosters. No FAAB. No house rules. No graded history. SnapFantasy is tool-using, local-state, hallucination-guarded fantasy ops — not vibes with a spinner.
Cute. We start the real product there — Sunday GM, FAAB war rooms, trade desk, playoff packs, graded learning.
Destroy managers who only open the host app on Sunday. Your friends stay free. You run the OS.
FP prior · OpenRouter posterior · local multi-league memory. Dual-signal edge they structurally cannot ship.
A nostalgic PDF. SnapFantasy is still locking lineups, nuking FAAB mistakes, and grading your flex fails.
How you run the table
No guaranteed rings — just an operating system that makes managers who “wing it on Sleeper” look casual. Draft tools leave after pick 15×12. We still own your lock chain in week 17.
For you + friends
SnapFantasy is built for one manager and a few friends — people in 3–10 leagues who hate paying per-seat tools. Portfolio heat, shared stash, co-manager briefs, and buddy draft notes — without buying seats for the whole league. Not an App Store product. Not a host.
Your opponents can stay on Sleeper/Yahoo free. You run the OS.
Shared stash, co-manager notes, silent partner digests — without N× premium seats.
Small-group path when you want sync without selling your league graph.
OpenRouter usage + optional FP key — not four FantasyPros premium seats.
Friend-league wins · placeholders
“Ran three drafts on one laptop. Draft 3.0 next-3 plan paid for itself by pick 40.”
“Portfolio heat stopped me from stacking the same RB in every cash league. Sunday GM is unfair.”
“Draft Wizard ended at good luck. SnapFantasy still running my lock chain in week 14.”
Deep dive · open the vault
Not a feature-count flex for LinkedIn. The actual surface of a season-long GM — tap a category, read the weapons. This is why draft-week apps feel thin.
Security & philosophy
Local-first. Keychain credentials. No mass-market data harvest. Built for personal use and private distribution with friends.
Your leagues live on device (SnapFantasy_v5). CloudKit schema ready — not required.
OpenRouter, FantasyPros, Yahoo, Gmail — multi-host token vault. Biometric lock optional.
Private distribution. Personal use. We are not monetizing your rosters.
Prefer local DB / rankings. Prove-it citations. Guardrails on every agent call.
Pricing · honest
Draft tools sell seats. Hosts are free but dumb about your portfolio. SnapFantasy is one private brain with usage you control — not N× premium subs so your friends can open the same rankings app.
The app
Not App Store mass product. Built for you + friends. Private beta. Mock AI demos every feature offline without a key.
You pay
Compare to
FantasyPros premium and Draft Wizard seats scale per serious manager. ChatGPT Pro still doesn’t know your FAAB. SnapFantasy: one brain, optional market key, models and personas you control.
FAQ
No. Use Sleeper, Yahoo, ESPN, or other hosts for the room. SnapFantasy is the private AI GM next to them — draft OS, Sunday command, portfolio risk, market intel, and agents.
It can use FantasyPros as market data (optional API for ECR/ADP). Draft Wizard-class live assist is built in for personal multi-league use. What it replaces is the season-long workflow of juggling draft tools, notes, chats, and host apps — not necessarily your love of consensus ranks.
Host apps and draft tools don’t see your whole book. Portfolio heat, anti-correlate, money-league weights, lock chains, cross-league FAAB, and Sunday one-tap exist because 3–10 leagues is the real job.
Sunday command across every league, portfolio heat, FAAB war rooms, trade desk + politics, learning from YOUR graded misses, multi-host import, and AI agents with your house rules — not just rankings and a draft room. They’re great at draft week. We’re built for the season.
Yahoo via official OAuth. Gmail is opt-in fantasy mail scan. Paste invite/URL/HTML always works. Also: ESPN deep adapter, CBS/NFL.com/Fleaflicker paste, CSV, screenshot OCR path, and bulk re-sync.
Yes. Simultaneous rooms with per-league clocks, Snap Score queues, urgency tiers, and offline packs.
Yes — offline pack 2.0 plus cached recommendations. Local-first SwiftData keeps state ready when bar Wi‑Fi dies.
Generic chat has no live rosters, FAAB budgets, house rules, or graded history. SnapFantasy injects local multi-league state, uses tool-using agents with spend caps, and keeps a hallucination audit trail.
Architecture is multi-sport ready (Sport enum, provider protocols). NFL-first today — the OS pattern extends when the season stack is proven.
No. Private / personal distribution for you + friends. Not mass-market SaaS. Not selling seats to your whole league.
Private beta · weight class: unfair
Join the private beta. Multi-league AI that still cooks when FantasyPros is a rankings tab and the host app is just a scoreboard. If you're still juggling five apps on Sunday… that's adorable. Fix it.
