FootyStats covers 1,500+ leagues with stats-driven match previews and pre-built betting tips behind a subscription. KiqIQ is the free consumer decision layer, offering a Poisson model, 38 calculators and 93+ guides, built for individual bettors who want analytical workflow rather than pre-baked predictions. The two services occupy different parts of the bettor toolkit and can be used together.

FootyStats is a strong stats-aggregation product with broad league coverage that few free alternatives match. KiqIQ doesn't compete on data breadth. It provides the analytical workflow (Poisson, EV, Kelly) that converts league-average data into structured betting decisions. For individual bettors who don't need 1,500-league coverage, KiqIQ provides an analytical decision layer without a subscription.

FootyStats aggregates BTTS rates, Over 2.5 rates, average goals per game, and corner rates by league across 1,500+ competitions globally. These league-level baselines are useful inputs for the KiqIQ Poisson framework, particularly for less-covered leagues where FBref or Understat data is limited. Pull a league's average xG per home team and per away team from FootyStats, then apply the standard KiqIQ Poisson calculation.
Open Poisson Calculator →FootyStats highlights matches that fit specific statistical patterns (e.g. "both teams scored in last 10 home games"). These are useful prompt-style identifiers for further investigation. They're not bets in themselves, but they narrow the fixture list to potentially-mispriced matches. Apply the KiqIQ EV framework to each identified match: compare your Poisson probability to bookmaker odds, then size with Kelly. The combination is FootyStats screening + KiqIQ decision.
EV Framework Guide →FootyStats offers a free tier alongside a paid Premium plan. Check their site for current pricing. For individual bettors who do not need their full league breadth but do need analytical workflow tooling, KiqIQ provides a decision layer with free calculators and a bet tracker (paid plans). The trade-off is data breadth: KiqIQ does not aggregate stats across as many leagues, but it provides Poisson modelling, EV calculation and Kelly staking.
Weekly Workflow →Browser-based scoreline distribution. Pull any xG source into a fair-odds calculation in 60 seconds.
Kelly staking, EV, accumulator, arbitrage, hedging, lay-off: the full decision toolkit, free.
Tournament-specific frameworks (WC 2026, Euros, AFCON, Copa América), market guides (BTTS, AH, props), and meta strategies (lay, hedging, parlays).
The decision framework that converts league averages into bet decisions, not just a probability number.
Stake-sizing methodology that prevents bankroll ruin even with positive-EV bets.
Performance tracking with ROI and CLV (paid plans), plus segmentation to help you find your real edges instead of trusting tipster claims.
FootyStats supplies league-level stats and pattern-matching across 1,500+ competitions. KiqIQ converts those stats into match-level probability models and EV-graded bets. Use FootyStats to identify the week's candidate fixtures, KiqIQ to price each one and decide what to bet.
