/ COMPARE / VS SPORTS-AI.DEV
sports-ai.dev is a developer-leaning AI sports picks tool covered in parlaysavant's April 2026 7-tools-ranked roundup. It ships AI-driven picks via a web dashboard with API access for power users, but no WHY-driver breakdown, no public hash chain, no Discord bot, and no capper marketplace. NuroPicks ships those four moats at the same effective tier and adds vig-adjusted ROI on /record plus a 67-command Discord bot.
ONLY HERE
sports-ai.dev exposes picks via API. Ours is cryptographically pre-locked: every pick gets a SHA-256 hash before publish, every closing line gets a closing hash, /verify recomputes the chain from raw inputs in your browser. No paid tier required.
ONLY HERE
sports-ai.dev returns picks via API. We return WHY drivers per pick in signed basis points so any consumer (web, Discord, third-party API client) can audit which inputs moved the model.
FREE HERE
sports-ai.dev paywalls API access. /api/record is free, self-describing JSON, returns the same hash-chain payload our /record page reads from. Plus a 67-command Discord bot at $0.
ONLY HERE
sports-ai.dev returns picks. /api/record returns picks AND every honesty metric: sample size, CLV, raw ROI, vig-adjusted ROI (basis tagged), hit rate. Drop-in for any third-party verifier.
