Best Push/Fold App in 2026 — an honest comparison

Published 2026-07-16 · facts checked as of July 2026

If you play tournaments or SNGs and keep finding yourself short-stacked with a decision that boils down to shove-or-fold, this comparison is for you. Short-stack push/fold spots are the single most common leak we see in tournament study — players either punt stacks by shoving too wide, or bleed equity by folding hands that are a clear push at 10BB. Studying a Nash push/fold chart ahead of time is the fix, and there are a handful of apps built specifically for that. Below is an honest look at four of them: what they cost, what platform they run on, what the free tier actually gives you, and who each one is really built for.

At a glance

Prices and tiers as of July 2026. See sources linked in each section below.

RangeMyHand

RangeMyHand's case is simple: unlimited free Nash range lookup, plus 20 free trainer hands to test your recall, right in the browser. No install, no account wall for the free tier, and it works offline once loaded. PRO is a $9 one-time unlock — not a subscription — and there's a Chrome extension if you want the lookup tool available while browsing. It's a study tool, not a live-play aid: it's built for memorizing charts and drilling decisions ahead of the table, not for referencing mid-hand.

SnapShove

SnapShove pioneered this category — it was one of the first dedicated push/fold calculators, and the app still reflects that focus. The free tier is thin, though: as of July 2026 you get 1 shove/call/reshove calculation per day, which is enough to try the app but not to actually study a range set. Beyond that, Core runs $3.99/mo ($34.99/yr) for unlimited shove-only calculations, and Unlimited is $9.99/mo ($99.99/yr) for full functionality. These prices came out of a March 2026 repricing, so check snapshove.com/subscriptions for the current numbers.

PushFold: GTO Preflop Poker

A solid native iOS option, with Apple Watch support that neither of the other three tools here offer. The free tier gives you access to Nash push/fold charts outright, which makes it a reasonable free alternative if you're on iPhone. The paid Pro tier layers in AI-assisted analysis features on top, with a 3-day trial; we're not stating a price here because it varies by listing — check the App Store page directly before subscribing.

ICMIZER

ICMIZER is the deepest tool of the four for professional ICM work — it's a full ICM calculator suite, not just a push/fold chart, and it's built for players doing serious post-session study across final-table and bubble spots, not just short -stack shoves. That depth comes at a cost: per public listings as of July 2026, pricing runs roughly $40/yr for its mobile SNG coach up to around $180/yr for the full cloud suite, with a 7-day free trial to test it first. If push/fold charts are all you need, ICMIZER is more tool than most players require; if you're studying ICM seriously, it's worth the trial. See icmizer.com for current tiers.

How to choose

If you just want to drill push/fold ranges without paying anything or signing up for a subscription, start with the two free-unlimited options: RangeMyHand for browser-based study with a trainer built in, or PushFold if you're on iPhone and want native charts with Apple Watch access. If you want a single-purpose mobile shove calculator and don't mind a small monthly fee, SnapShove's paid tiers deliver that. If you're past push/fold basics and studying ICM across full tournament stages — bubble play, final table pay jumps, satellite spots — ICMIZER's trial is worth the week.
