PikSheet vs. OfficePoolStop and SurvivorFootball: Which NFL Pool Host Should You Use?

OfficePoolStop has been hosting pools since 2012, run by a small family team. SurvivorFootball.com is the same company — its own site says it's now part of OfficePoolStop.com — so the two aren't separate options, they're one platform under two URLs.

Built specifically for NFL scoring

OfficePoolStop runs the same hosting tool across NFL, college football, March Madness, soccer, and other events, with a long list of pick'em, survivor, confidence, and prop-bet variants layered on top. PikSheet takes the opposite approach: everything is built around one sport. Scoring, lock rules, and spreads are all modeled on actual NFL games and schedules, and standings update automatically the moment a game ends — no manual grading, no waiting on an admin to update a spreadsheet-style board.

Ad-supported and free to start

OfficePoolStop's core hosting is genuinely free, supported by ads, with small optional paid add-ons for things like ad removal or extra league features. PikSheet has no ads anywhere in the app; competitive pools are priced per billable entry once picks lock for the season (Box pools bill separately, by covered game), with no subscription and no per-seat fee.

A modern app with push notifications

PikSheet ships as a real native app on the App Store and Google Play — the same features as the web version, not a scaled-down mobile view. Commissioners and members get push notifications for pick reminders, pool results, and pool activity, so the pool doesn't depend on someone remembering to check a website before Sunday kickoff.

The verdict

• Use PikSheet if you want a modern, ad-free app purpose-built for NFL pools, with automatic scoring, live standings, and native iOS/Android apps with push notifications.
• Use OfficePoolStop or SurvivorFootball if you want free, ad-supported pool hosting and don't mind ads while you play.
