The honest comparison

Kicktipp is a capable, long-running product. Punditz takes a more focused route: a calmer interface, scoreline-first play and fewer settings to manage. This comparison reflects the documented offering checked in July 2026.

Does Punditz have bonus questions?
Not yet. If bonus questions are essential to your round, Kicktipp currently offers the stronger feature set.
Which competitions are supported?
The live catalog changes with each season and tournament. Check the competition catalog for current men's and women's competitions before creating your league.
Can we keep our scoring rules?
New Punditz leagues currently use Standard scoring rather than custom point values. Existing legacy leagues may retain their stored scoring rule. We can help you confirm whether Standard scoring suits your round before you move.
When do predictions close?
The organizer chooses either per-match locking or a gameweek deadline. The selected rule is shown clearly inside the league.
