Looking for the best pay per head service? Here is a straight comparison of the main PPH providers - what they charge, what is actually in the base price, and how long the free trial runs - plus what to weigh before you switch.
No "#1" badges, no "as seen on." Just the numbers, current as of July 2026.
Headline price is the easiest thing to compare and the least useful on its own. Weigh these together before you commit.
A $3 headline with paid add-ons can cost more than a $7 all-in rate. Compare the total for the setup you actually need, not the sticker.
Two to six weeks is normal. A trial lets you test lines, reporting, and support before a dollar changes hands.
Uptime when every game kicks off at once is the whole job. Ask about redundancy and infrastructure, not just a "99.9%" number.
Real hours, real people, real response times - and whether they answer in your players' language.
If you serve Spanish-speaking players, ask whether support is native bilingual or English-only with a translation layer on top.
Switching should not mean starting from zero. A good provider moves your players over for you.
Where the $7 core differs from how the category usually sells. “A typical provider” is a composite of common patterns across the field, not any single company.
Starting rates as advertised on each provider's own site, July 2026. Most are "as low as" figures that change with player volume and payment method - confirm current pricing directly before you decide.

PrimeTime add-ons (live betting, live dealer casino, prop builder) are quoted to your player volume rather than listed at a flat rate - ask and we will map it to your book. Figures for other providers are their public advertised rates and may have changed since July 2026.
We would rather show you the real platform and real pricing than out-shout anyone with a "#1" badge.
$7 for the sportsbook and digital casino, with add-ons named openly instead of buried under "as low as."
English and Spanish reps who speak your players' language - built for agents across North America and Latin America.
No "voted #1," no "as seen on." We explain the product and let it stand on its own.
Running books for independent agents, with hands-on migration when you switch providers.
There is no single best pay per head service - the right provider depends on price, what is included in the base rate, free-trial length, reliability, and support. AcePerHead advertises the lowest headline rate (from $3 per head), Bwager and PricePerPlayer match $7 with more bundled in, and PrimeTime PPH focuses on transparent $7 pricing with native English and Spanish support for agents across North America and Latin America.
Advertised starting rates in July 2026 range from about $3 to $12 per active player per week, billed weekly and only for players who had action. Headline rates are usually "as low as" figures that change with player volume and payment method, so confirm current pricing with each provider.
Most do. AcePerHead advertises up to 6 weeks, WagerHome and RealBookies up to 4, and Bwager and PricePerPlayer 2 weeks. PrimeTime PPH offers a free live demo of the real platform instead of a self-serve trial - a rep walks you through it with no obligation.
PrimeTime shows its pricing plainly - $7 per active player for the sportsbook and digital casino, with live betting, live dealer, and prop builder as clearly named add-ons - and runs native English and Spanish support for agents across North America and Latin America. It has operated in the pay per head space since 2008 and avoids the "#1" and "as seen on" claims common in the category.
