GameDay vs PayPerHead
GameDay vs PayPerHead, compared fairly.
PayPerHead uses three tiers ($5.99 Standard, $7.99 Prime, $10.99 Elite) and a two-week trial. GameDay is flat $9 or $13 with live betting included on Pro, a one-month free trial, and a native English and Spanish platform. Compare tier for tier and confirm current terms.
PayPerHead details reflect publicly advertised tiers as of mid-2026. Plans and promotions change, so confirm the current, all-in cost for the tier you need before you decide.
The honest version
PayPerHead is an established platform with a tiered model: Standard at $5.99, Prime at $7.99 once you want live betting (it includes TruLive in-game wagering), and Elite at $10.99 for the full set with live chat and phone support. The headline number is low, but the tier you actually need is usually higher, so the fair comparison is feature for feature, not floor to floor.
GameDay keeps it to two plans. Basic at $9 already includes the casino, horse racing, player management, and reports with bilingual support. Pro at $13 adds live betting, the Prop Builder, and a dedicated account manager. There is no climbing a ladder of tiers to get the basics.
Where GameDay is built differently
The platform is native English and Spanish, for you and for your players, with support that speaks both. If you serve Latin American players, that is the daily reality of running your book, not a setting. The free trial is a full month rather than two weeks, and the platform comes from an operator with 17+ years in pay-per-head. PayPerHead has the lower entry tier and a long track record, and we would rather you weigh both honestly.

Is GameDay cheaper than PayPerHead?
Not at the entry tier. PayPerHead starts at $5.99 per head on Standard, but live betting needs the $7.99 Prime tier and the full Elite plan is $10.99. GameDay is a flat $9 Basic or $13 Pro, with live betting included on Pro. Compare what you actually need, tier for tier.
What does GameDay include that the lower tier does not?
GameDay Basic at $9 already includes the casino, horse racing, player management, and reports, with bilingual support. With PayPerHead you step up tiers to add live betting and premium support. Match the features, then compare the price.
What is the main difference?
Flat two-plan pricing instead of three tiers, native English and Spanish for you and your players, a one-month free trial instead of two weeks, and a platform built by a 17+ year operator.
Where is PayPerHead stronger?
Their Standard tier has a lower entry price if you only need the basics, and they are an established brand. We would rather you see the real tier-for-tier cost than a headline.
Can I switch from PayPerHead to GameDay?
Yes. Migration is free and most agents are live in about 48 hours. Start on the one-month free trial with no card and run both before deciding.
Should I choose based only on the per-head rate?
No. Compare the full weekly cost, the features you need, migration help, language support, trial length, and whether any live betting or casino fees are separate. Confirm current terms directly with each provider.
