PikSheet vs. ALA Survivor Series: Which Survivor Pool App Should You Use?

ALA Survivor Series (also branded 'A Level Above') runs survivor-format pools across several sports, plus a few variants beyond the standard weekly pick: tournament-bracket survivor for March Madness and the World Cup, and a player-based survivor mode built around NFL touchdown scorers.

More than just survivor

PikSheet's NFL survivor pool covers the standard format — one pick a week, no team reuse, one loss and you're out — with automatic scoring and lock rules tied to real kickoff times. It also runs Pick'em, Confidence, Margin, High 5, Best Bet, Touchdown Calls, and Box pools in the same app and account, so a group that starts with survivor isn't stuck there if they want a second pool later in the season.

A native app with push notifications

PikSheet is a real native app on the App Store and Google Play, with push notifications for pick reminders, pool results, and pool activity — the same account works on web, iOS, and Android. In survivor specifically, a pick reminder before kickoff is the difference between staying alive and an automatic loss for forgetting to pick.

The verdict

• Use PikSheet if you want a standard NFL survivor pool alongside other formats in the same app, with native mobile apps and pick-reminder push notifications.
• Use ALA Survivor Series if you specifically want survivor variants beyond a standard weekly pick, like tournament-bracket survivor or player-based survivor.
