The four in detail
Poker Skill
Full hands against AI opponents, coached as you play
Free forever.
Best for Players who want to play full Hold'em hands against an AI on their phone and learn from each decision, without paying.
Skip if You want the hands from your online games reviewed, since Poker Skill doesn't import them, or you play Omaha.
Free version Every lesson, the Daily Puzzle and one Practice vs AI game a day. Poker Skill Plus adds unlimited Practice vs AI games.
Where it runs iPhone, iPad and Android
We make Poker Skill. Practice vs AI deals full hands at a heads-up or three-player table, where Showdown AI plays the other seats and Coach Max speaks up when a spot calls for advice. He grades each decision against Showdown AI's strategy, so a lucky card later in the hand doesn't change the grade. Lessons start from the rules.

What each one costs
Is PokerSnowie still worth it?
For one kind of player, yes. If you play No-Limit Hold’em cash games online at a computer, PokerSnowie 4 plays full hands against you and rates the hand histories you import from your real-money sessions, in one subscription. When its Live Advice names two moves, such as a call 49 percent of the time and a raise 51 percent, that split is a mixed strategy, and either move fits it.
It gives you less in its AI’s game, on a phone and in tournaments. Its AI chooses from four bet sizes: a quarter of the pot, half, the whole pot or twice the pot. It plays one balanced strategy against everyone, so it won’t show you how to exploit a player who calls too much. On a phone, its iPhone app, last updated in July 2018, plays heads-up and five-handed tables with Live Advice, and on Google Play it has only a preflop chart app. And it rates tournament hands without the prize payouts, which change the right play near the money (ICM).
Compared with Poker Skill: Keep PokerSnowie if the job is rating your own online hands at a desk. For coached hands against AI on a phone, Poker Skill is the free pick.

Where Poker Skill falls short
Poker Skill teaches Texas Hold’em only, so an Omaha player needs another tool. It doesn’t import hand histories, so the hands you played online can’t be reviewed in it, which is the job GTO Wizard and PokerSnowie do. Practice vs AI tables seat two or three players, and free players get one Practice vs AI game a day. Poker Skill Plus adds unlimited Practice vs AI games.
