Method
SaberSim says it simulates every game thousands of times and feeds those sims straight into its optimizer, so correlation comes from the game scripts. Stokastic's Contest Sims simulate the contest tens of thousands of times, use projected ownership to model the field and rank each lineup by simulated ROI for the payout you enter. Stokastic says it has no separate optimizer; the Sims build the lineup pool.
Where contest sims sit
SaberSim lists contest sims on Ultimate, $297 a month, which sims each lineup against a representative contest 100,000 times and reports ROI, cash rate and win rate. Starter, $97 a month, lists the optimizer, live ownership and late swap. Every Stokastic DFS plan includes Contest Sims: NFL Core builds and sims up to 2,000 lineups, and NFL Max ($229.95 a month) goes to 10,000 on classic slates and 50,000 on showdown.
Price and billing
SaberSim bills monthly, and Starter includes an optimizer for every sport it supports. Stokastic sells each sport separately by the week or month, or all sports together as All Access Core for $229.95 a month. Its cheapest DFS plans are NASCAR and MMA Core at $19.95 a week.
Sports and sites
SaberSim lists optimizers for 17 sports and esports, including tennis, F1, WNBA, college basketball, soccer, League of Legends, CS and Call of Duty. It works with DraftKings, FanDuel, Yahoo and OwnersBox. Stokastic sells DFS plans for 8 sports: NFL, college football, NBA, MLB, NHL, PGA, NASCAR and MMA, and describes its tools as built for DraftKings and FanDuel.
Trying before you pay
SaberSim's Starter trial costs $7 for 7 days. Stokastic says you can build a pool and run a contest sim free before subscribing. It also says late swap and custom projections are paid features, so the free path shows the method, not the full tool.
