PlusEV vs GTO Wizard: Which One Do You Need?

PlusEV vs GTO Wizard is not a contest between two versions of the same tool. GTO Wizard is a solver suite: it shows you the GTO answer to almost any spot, preflop and postflop. PlusEV is a preflop trainer: it drills answers you can already look up until you play them without thinking.

We build PlusEV, so weigh everything below with that in mind. Every claim about GTO Wizard names its source, the prices carry a date, and the section on when to pick GTO Wizard means what it says.

How do PlusEV and GTO Wizard compare?

GTO Wizard prices are its NLH cash plans, checked October 7, 2026. Both change, so the vendors’ own pages are the source of truth.

GTO Wizard’s feature list is from its own sign-in page (“Study 10,000,000+ presolved solutions, practice by playing vs. GTO, analyze your hand histories”) and its free-plan limits from its help center.

Which one should you pick?

Pick GTO Wizard if you study postflop, play tournaments where ICM decides your results, or want to analyse your own hand histories. Pick PlusEV if your preflop decisions are leaking and you want them fixed through repetition rather than explained again. If you can afford both, use GTO Wizard to study a spot and PlusEV to stop misplaying it.

What does each one cost?

PlusEV Pro costs $12.99 a month or $69.99 a year in the US; Apple and Google set the local price elsewhere. A year of PlusEV costs less than two months of GTO Wizard Starter billed monthly ($98). Billed yearly, Starter costs $468, more than six times a year of PlusEV.

The cheaper comparison is free against free. Every preflop chart in PlusEV is free forever in the app’s Ranges tab, with or without Pro, and new players get free drill hands with no credit card. GTO Wizard’s free plan works with daily limits instead. So if all you want is to look preflop charts up, you do not need to pay either company.

When is GTO Wizard the better choice?

Whenever the question is postflop, or the format is tournaments. GTO Wizard covers flop, turn and river strategy, ICM spots and hand-history analysis, and PlusEV covers none of that. If you open those tools every week, GTO Wizard’s price is fair for what you use, and nothing here is a replacement for it.

When is PlusEV the better choice?

When you already know the right preflop play and still misplay it at the table. A solver answers “what is correct here?”; it does not make the answer automatic with money in front of you. PlusEV deals real preflop decisions, scores each answer, and brings back the spots you get wrong sooner than the ones you know.

We measured whether that works. Across 1M+ recorded training hands in PlusEV, intermediate players gained +0.062 BB per hand after 30 days. What players say about it, the complaints included, is on our PlusEV reviews page.

Can you use both?

Yes, and they fit together. GTO Wizard explains why a hand is played a certain way; PlusEV turns that answer into a reflex. If you are weighing more tools than these two, our GTO Wizard alternatives comparison covers the rest of the field.

The bottom line

PlusEV vs GTO Wizard comes down to which layer of the game you are fixing. For postflop, tournaments and hand analysis, GTO Wizard is the tool, from $49 a month, or $39 billed yearly. For preflop decisions you want automatic, PlusEV is built for exactly that, at $12.99 a month or $69.99 a year, and every preflop chart in it is free forever.
