GridPlay vs Superbru F1
Superbru is the closest thing to a direct comparison for GridPlay — both are free prediction games rather than salary-cap fantasy. The differences are in what you predict, whether there is anything to pay for, and how many leagues you can run.
What each game asks you to predict
Superbru asks for pole position, the top ten finishers and the fastest lap, and for 2026 added a sprint element where you pick the team scoring the most points in the sprint.
GridPlay asks for a narrower set: the race top three, the qualifying top three, whether a safety car appears, and the sprint winner at sprint weekends.
Predicting ten finishers rewards depth of knowledge about the midfield. Predicting three concentrates on the front of the grid and takes less time. Neither is objectively better — a group of committed fans may prefer the longer form, while a mixed group of casual and serious fans usually sustains the shorter one for longer.
Paid tiers and league limits
Both games are free to play. Superbru additionally offers a paid Premium tier, and its F1 page states you can play in up to ten leagues.
GridPlay has no paid tier at all and no cap on how many leagues you create or join. If you are the person who ends up running a work league, a family league and a group-chat league simultaneously, that difference matters; if you run one league, it does not.
Where Superbru is the better choice
Superbru has native iOS and Android apps. GridPlay is web only — it works well on a phone browser and can be added to your home screen, but there is no app to install, and if your group would rather have a real app, Superbru wins on that outright.
Superbru also covers many sports beyond F1 and has been running since long before GridPlay existed, so if you want one account for rugby, cricket and football pools as well as F1, it is the more sensible home.

Frequently asked questions
Are Superbru and GridPlay the same kind of game?
Broadly yes — both are free Formula 1 prediction games rather than salary-cap fantasy. The difference is in scope: Superbru asks for pole, the top ten and fastest lap, while GridPlay asks for the race and qualifying top three plus a safety car call.
Which takes less time each weekend?
GridPlay, simply because there are fewer picks to make. Predicting three positions rather than ten finishers is a couple of minutes rather than a considered session, which tends to matter most for groups where not everyone follows every session.
Does GridPlay have a mobile app?
No. GridPlay runs in the browser and is built to work on phones, but there is nothing to install. Superbru does offer native iOS and Android apps, so if an app matters to your group that is a real point in its favour.
How many leagues can I run on GridPlay?
As many as you like — there is no cap on creating or joining private leagues, and one set of predictions counts in all of them plus the global leaderboard.
