Clutchbell and Action Network do different jobs
Action Network helps you decide what to bet. Clutchbell starts after you've bet: it watches the bets you've placed, from any book, and alerts you while the game is on. Plenty of bettors could use both.
Alerts during the game: when a bet is close ("needs 3 more, 2:05 left"), when it hits or can't win, and at the final. Any book, no account linking.
A betting media app: odds, news, expert picks, and models, with free bet tracking and line alerts on PRO.

Choose Clutchbell if
- You want to know during the game that your bet is close or has hit, without refreshing a scores app.
- You've already picked your bets and don't need picks, odds, or sportsbook offers in the way.
- You bet at a book Action doesn't sync, and you'd rather scan a bet slip than type it.
- You watch on a stream and don't want alerts to spoil the play: set a delay to match it.
- You want alerts beyond your bets ("tell me if any game goes to overtime").
Choose Action Network if
- You want research before you bet: odds across books, expert picks, models, and news.
- Line-movement alerts matter more to you than alerts on the bets you've placed.
- You bet on sports Clutchbell doesn't cover yet, like MLB or golf.
Common questions
Can I use Clutchbell and Action Network together?
Yes. Use Action Network to decide what to bet; add the bets to Clutchbell and it alerts you while the games are on.
Does Clutchbell take bets or sell picks?
No. It doesn't take bets, sell picks, or link to any sportsbook. It follows bets you've already placed. 21+, US only.
Do I have to type in every bet?
No. On Pro (and the 7-day trial), scan a screenshot of your bet slip and Clutchbell adds every bet on it, singles or a parlay, from any book. Or type one in, in about 20 seconds.
