Is there a DFS optimizer with no subscription?
Yes. DFS Studio sells a slate pass: $3 opens every tool on one DraftKings or FanDuel slate, with one payment and no plan. The pass covers the projections, the lineup optimizer, the contest sim, the entries tools, and late swap for that slate. Its builds, entries, and points stay open to you after its games.
What does a slate pass cost?
A slate pass is $3, one payment, for one slate. It does not renew, so you have nothing to cancel. Stripe takes the payment.
How do I buy a slate pass?
- Make an account on the sign-up page. The account itself is free.
- Open a slate in the Lobby. A slate that your account cannot use shows the unlock card.
- Click Unlock this slate, and pay in Stripe. Stripe sends you back to the slate.
A pass is for sale until the slate's last game starts. Each open slate's free projection page links to the sign-up for that slate.
What stays after the games?
The slate stays open to you: your builds, your entries, and the points after its games.
Does a slate pass work with Claude or ChatGPT?
Yes. An AI agent that you connect to DFS Studio works on a slate with a pass, as it does in the free trial and on the monthly plan. Is there a DFS optimizer that works with Claude or ChatGPT? tells how to connect one.
When is the monthly plan the better price?
The monthly plan opens every slate of every sport. It is $20 a month at the founding price if you join by November 30, and you keep that price for as long as you stay subscribed. The regular price is $30 a month. The first 7 days of a new plan are free, and the trial needs a card. A player who plays more than 6 slates a month pays less with the plan. Plans, billing, and cancelling tells how each one works.
Can I see the projections first?
Yes. The free projection pages show the top players by projection and by value of each open slate, with no account.
