    Fantrax

    It's really the best site, especially if you have large roster/farms. It does have a lot of customizable features as well.
    You have to pay a yearly fee to have access to all the features, but it's like 4-5$ each if you are a 16 teams league.

    One major downside of Fantrax is the App. It is mediocre at best.

    I have one league on Yahoo, one on Officepools (since some of the features of that league don't seem to work anywhere else), and one on Fantrax.
    I like Yahoo for simple pools -- the app is the best of the three.
    Fantrax has the best player pool and lots of features (and the best draft room), but the App is meh. And I do most stuff from my phone.

    True, the app is basically only a link for their mobile website. It's a bit crappy from a paying platform.

    Yahoo is good for a basic H2H keeper

    I wonder if Fantrax knows that their lack of a legit app is holding it back from obtaining a significant number of new customers.
    They must know, but why isn't it a priority?
    I'm surprised that in 2020 that they couldn't hire someone to develop one.

    I like Yahoo for its app and the website itself. Maybe that's because I'm used to it.

    Fantrax definitely has the most features and is best for a keeper or dynasty league without a doubt. I wish I liked their site a bit more - it's not bad, but theres just something about pulling up the Yahoo StatTracker on a Sunday to see you h2h matchup on Yahoo that I can't pass up. On the other hand, Fantrax is basically open all year round, whereas Yahoo shutters for a while in the summer.

    Sounds kinda basic but I just like the feel of the Yahoo site more and I find it works fairly well, at least for the purposes of my limited keeper. One thing that annoys me about the Yahoo app is that it limits some of the features. It is difficult to pull up the website on a mobile browser so you are kind of stuck if you only have mobile access - tough for commissioners especially.
