What Trademate Sports does well

Trademate has been operating since 2016 and has built a solid reputation in the EV betting community. Their scanner updates odds close to real-time, giving you access to value before the market corrects. Coverage spans a large number of bookmakers across European and global markets, and their Sports and Pro tiers let you scale up as your operation grows.

The platform is focused on value betting — it pairs fast, broad coverage of positive-EV edge signals with built-in CLV tracking, Kelly sizing, and bankroll tools. If value betting is your main strategy, Trademate covers that brief well. Read more about the fundamentals in our value betting guide.

What Lytic does better

Lytic is built as a complete ecosystem at a far lower price. Like Trademate, every bet you place is tracked with CLV (Closing Line Value), the most reliable way to know whether you are finding genuine long-term value — but Lytic bundles it with value betting, arbitrage, Kelly sizing, and bankroll management in a single $69/mth plan, versus Trademate's roughly £100–340/mo.

Kelly Criterion sizing is built in to Lytic and automatically calculates the optimal stake based on your current bankroll and odds edge. Bankroll management updates in real-time with every deposit, withdrawal, and settled bet — all included in the base plan rather than reserved for a higher tier.

Lytic also includes an arbitrage scanner and a Poisson match model that produces an independent probability estimate — instead of relying solely on the sharp-book reference line. Account restrictions are handled natively per bookmaker, so you always know which accounts are active and can be factored into analysis.

Manual bet logging means any bet placed outside the app — at a shop, on exchange, or on a book Lytic does not yet cover — is still recorded and contributes to your CLV and ROI numbers.

Who should choose which?

In short: if value betting is your main focus and you want broad coverage with near real-time odds, Trademate is a capable tool — though at a higher monthly cost than Lytic. If you want everything in one place — scanner, CLV tracking, Kelly sizing, arbitrage, and bankroll management — Lytic is the complete alternative at a lower price.
