PikSheet vs. RunYourPool, OfficeFootballPool, and Splash Sports: Which NFL Pool Host Should You Use?

RunYourPool and OfficeFootballPool are two of the oldest names in pool hosting — OfficeFootballPool traces back to 1999. Both are now the same company: Splash Inc. acquired both sites in 2021 and unified them under one brand, and both now sit alongside Splash Sports, Splash's own real-money contest product. If you're comparing PikSheet against either one, you're really comparing PikSheet against Splash.

Built specifically for NFL scoring

RunYourPool and OfficeFootballPool run on a single platform shared across every sport they support. PikSheet is built specifically for NFL pools — every format (Pick'em, Confidence, Margin, Survivor, High 5, Best Bet, Touchdown Calls, and Box pools) runs on scoring, lock rules, and spreads modeled on actual NFL games and schedules, not a generic template reused across sports.

That focus shows up in the details: automatic scoring the moment a game ends, standings and a live field-of-picks view that update in real time, and lock rules built around actual NFL kickoff times — not a generic deadline field.

Where Splash Sports fits in

Splash Sports is the real-money layer Splash Inc. built on top of the RunYourPool and OfficeFootballPool audience — a separate product for peer-to-peer real-money contests. PikSheet takes a different approach: it's a scoring and pool-management tool only. Commissioners collect entry fees and pay winners the way their league always has — Venmo, Zelle, cash — and PikSheet never touches that money or takes a cut of the pot.

Native iOS and Android apps, with push notifications

PikSheet is live now on the App Store and Google Play, and the apps are the full PikSheet experience wrapped native — not a stripped-down companion app. One account works across web, iOS, and Android with no separate sign-up.

The upgrade the apps bring is push notifications: pick reminders before your entries lock, pool results, and pool activity, each toggleable in settings. For a commissioner whose biggest recurring headache is chasing down members who forgot to pick, that's the feature that actually saves a season.

The verdict

• Use PikSheet if you're running a private NFL pool and want an app built specifically around NFL scheduling, spreads, and scoring, with real-time standings and native iOS/Android apps.
• Use RunYourPool or OfficeFootballPool for free pool hosting, or Splash Sports — the same company's separate real-money product — if what you actually want is DFS-style contests.
