ICMIZER Alternative: Free Chip-EV Push/Fold Ranges

Published 2026-10-23 · ICMIZER facts checked 2026-10-23

If you need ICM, ICMIZER is the tool to pick: its own pages describe ICM, FGS and Nash calculations, hand-history analysis and a push/fold coach, as desktop software for Windows and macOS. RangeMyHand does a narrower job for free: it looks up the chip-EV Nash push/fold range for a seat and stack in the browser, with no ICM, no account and no subscription.

What to look for before you pick

"Alternative" depends on which part of ICMIZER you use. Decide that first:

• Do you need ICM? Chip-EV charts count every chip as equal. Near a bubble or a pay jump, the right shoving range is tighter than the chart. Our ICM vs chip-EV guide shows where that matters. If you play those spots, a free chart is not a substitute for an ICM calculator.
• Do you review hand histories? Loading played hands and having them analyzed is a different job from looking up a range.
• Do you just want the baseline? Chip-EV Nash ranges do not change from one session to the next. Paying a subscription for a static reference is a poor trade if a free one covers it.
• Where do you study? Desktop software suits a long session at your computer. A browser tool works on any device.

Where RangeMyHand fits

RangeMyHand is a chip-EV push/fold lookup and trainer, built to be used before a session rather than at the table. It has no ICM mode and does not read hand histories. What it does is show the Nash shove range for a seat and a stack, from the 10BB chart to the 15BB chart, or for one seat like the button chart at 10BB. The way a hand such as ace-five suited or king-nine offsuit changes from seat to seat is the kind of thing a chart makes visible. The lookup is free and unlimited with no account. The trainer gives you 20 free hands on the web, and PRO removes that cap for a one-time $9 payment.

ICMIZER vs RangeMyHand

ICMIZER figures were read off the icmizer.com pages linked in the table on 2026-10-23. Its pricing page renders with JavaScript and can change, so check icmizer.com/icmizer/pricing before you subscribe. "Unknown" means we did not find the answer on those pages. The iPhone app and its Pro unlock are described on the iPhone page. For the other tools in this space, see the full push/fold app comparison.

Verdict

Pick ICMIZER if you play bubbles, final tables or satellites and need ICM, or if you want your hand histories reviewed. A RangeMyHand chart is one range for one seat and one effective stack, so it cannot see the payout structure or the other stacks at your table.

Pick RangeMyHand if what you need is a free chip-EV baseline to learn and drill, early in a tournament or in cash-style spots, without a subscription. The two are not exclusive: many players learn the baseline here and run the hard spots in an ICM tool. To learn the ranges themselves, see how to memorize push/fold charts.

FAQ

Is ICMIZER free?

Partly. On 2026-10-23, ICMIZER’s product page described a free version with a limit on the number of analyses, and its pricing page offered a 7-day free trial of the paid plans. The paid plans were Basic at $17.99 a month and Pro at $32.99 a month, before VAT. Check icmizer.com/icmizer/pricing for current prices.

Is there a free ICMIZER alternative?

For chip-EV push/fold ranges, yes: RangeMyHand looks up Nash ranges for free in the browser, with 20 free trainer hands on the web and no account. For ICM calculations or hand-history review it is not a replacement, because it has neither.

Does RangeMyHand calculate ICM?

No. Every RangeMyHand chart is a chip-EV Nash range. Near a bubble or a pay jump the right shoving range is usually tighter than the chart, so use the chart as a baseline and run the exact spot in an ICM calculator such as ICMIZER.
