How we compared.
BoxBox and GP Fantasy Predictor are entirely free and need no account. F1 Fantasy Tools and GridIQ have a large free set (GridIQ’s optimizer runs on its base model without sign-up), but league analysis is paid in both.
League analysis is in F1 Fantasy Tools (Pro), Race Strategist (from $0.99) and GridIQ (Pro). GridIQ also shows rivals’ lineups before the deadline.
No for BoxBox, GP Fantasy Predictor, F1 Fantasy Tools and GridIQ (the basic set). Yes for Race Strategist and TheFantasyTool.
BoxBox and GridIQ have an accuracy page, and GP Fantasy Predictor shows its forecast against actual points. Race Strategist quotes figures on its home page. We do not compare these numbers: each tool measures differently.
