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. 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. All three are the same company. If you're comparing PikSheet against any of them, you're comparing PikSheet against Splash.

Splash's hosting tools: built for every sport, not just NFL

RunYourPool and OfficeFootballPool, Splash's two pool-hosting brands, run on a single platform shared across every sport they support, with per-participant fees that scale with pool size and type. 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.

Splash Sports: the same company's real-money product

Splash Sports is the real-money layer Splash built on top of the RunYourPool and OfficeFootballPool audience — peer-to-peer real-money contests, under the same roof as its pool-hosting sites. 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 Splash — as RunYourPool or OfficeFootballPool — for paid, multi-sport pool hosting, or as Splash Sports if what you actually want is DFS-style real-money contests.
