Who should pick GTO Wizard
Pick GTO Wizard if you study most weeks and want depth: every preflop solution and the full heads-up postflop library on Premium, with flop and turn reports and an analyzer for your uploaded hand histories, and solves of spots you set up yourself on Elite and Ultra. It’s also the pick if you play PLO, which DTO doesn’t cover, though PLO4 has its own plans and prices. Budget for one subscription per game format you play.
Who should pick DTO Poker
Pick DTO Poker if you want to practice more than study. You play spots against its bot and get each decision graded, on your phone as well as the web, from $9.99 a month. Its free account suits a cash player well, with every cash preflop solution and one cash postflop spot with no hand limit. Exact EV loss and frequencies come with each product’s top plan.
If you’re still learning the game
Both tools grade you against solver play, which assumes you already know hand rankings, position and pot odds. If those still take thought, Poker Skill, which we make, lets you play full hands against AI opponents in Practice vs AI, and its lessons teach those basics, free on iPhone and Android. We also publish free solver answers for heads-up pots, each with the why in plain words. Trainer vs solver explains when a solver starts to pay off.
