What differs between prediction market apps

Exchange or broker. 10 apps own or control an exchange. The rest pass your order to someone else's, often Kalshi's, and add their own fee.

Fees. Exchanges such as Kalshi charge on a curve that peaks at 50¢. Brokers usually charge a flat amount per contract, which costs most on long shots. See fees on the same $100 trade.

Funding. Some apps take a debit card, PayPal or Venmo. Others take only bank transfers or wires, and a few take crypto.

States. Every app here is federally regulated, but states contest sports contracts. Some apps skip sports where their parent runs a sportsbook. See where prediction markets are legal.

Public prices. 12 of 15 show live prices without an account. Only those that publish a feed can be priced side by side, on our live prediction market odds.
