GTO Wizard, and when it is the wrong tool
The short version: GTO Wizard is a solver with a large library, and if that is what you are shopping for, buy it. Pokiq is a decision trainer. This page marks the line between the two so you can tell which side of it you are on.
Two products, one shared phrase
A solver takes a poker spot and computes a strategy that cannot be exploited, then hands you the output to study. A decision trainer does the opposite: it hands you the spot, takes your decision, and tells you what was wrong with it. If the difference is not obvious yet, what GTO actually means is the shorter read of the two.
Both approaches work. They fail in different places. Solver study fails when the output never converts into a different decision at the table, which is a very common way for study hours to disappear. Trainer study fails when you reach a level where the remaining edge really is in the frequencies, and at that point a library of solved spots is what you need. Nobody stays on one side of that line forever.

which side of the line
Buy GTO Wizard if
- → You want to solve a spot yourself, with your own bet sizes, stack depths and nodelocks.
- → You already read solver output comfortably and want more of it, faster.
- → You play deep enough that a frequency two points off the equilibrium is real money.
- → You want a large library of precomputed solutions to browse rather than lessons to work through.
- → You study several formats and want them under one subscription.
Buy Pokiq if
- → You want to be told, in plain language, why a decision was right or wrong.
- → You mostly lose money to repeated, recognisable mistakes rather than to fine frequencies.
- → You want your own hands scanned for the leak that costs you the most per hundred hands.
- → You want a short daily session rather than a long study block.
- → You want progress expressed as one number you can watch move.
What Pokiq is not
Pokiq does not solve arbitrary spots. There is no nodelocking, no custom tree builder and no solution library to browse. Building one that competes with an established solver company is a compute bill and an engineering programme, not a feature, and pretending otherwise would be the sort of claim this page exists to avoid.
What it does instead is take your own hands, find the mistake that repeats, and cost it out. The leak finder is the part of the product that has no equivalent in a solver subscription, because a solver has never seen you play. The example report shows the output before you commit to anything, and the Pokiq plan that includes it is €14.99 per month at the time of writing.
One more honest note. If you are playing small stakes and have never counted how much your three widest opening spots cost you, neither product is your bottleneck yet. The preflop charts and a month of discipline will move your win rate further than either subscription.
questions
Fair questions.
Is Pokiq a copy of GTO Wizard? +
No, and it would be a poor one. GTO Wizard is a solver with a large library of precomputed solutions and the ability to solve custom spots. Pokiq is a decision trainer: it puts you in a spot, takes your decision and explains it. Those are different products that happen to share the phrase poker training.
Does Pokiq have the same solver depth? +
No. Pokiq does not solve arbitrary spots, does not offer nodelocking and does not publish a solution library. If solver depth is what you are shopping for, the honest recommendation is to buy a solver.
Can I use both? +
Plenty of players do. A trainer covers the daily repetition and a solver covers deep dives into specific spots. If your budget only stretches to one and you play small stakes, the repetition tends to pay back sooner.
What do the GTO Wizard plans actually cover? +
According to that same announcement: cash and tournament formats, with the lower plans capped at smaller stakes and at a limited number of hands through the hand history analyzer, and the higher plans adding custom solving and nodelocking. The plan list above sets out what the vendor says each one contains.
Does GTO Wizard have a free option? +
Yes. Their announcement describes a free tier that lets you browse up to 100 preflop solutions per day and one postflop spot per day. If you only look up the occasional preflop range, that may be all you need from either product.
How current is this page? +
What each plan contains comes from a vendor announcement dated 31 March 2026, read on 30 August 2026. Software changes, and this page does not update itself. Check the vendor before you subscribe.
