The Bag Manager vs. LegUp Sidekick

LegUp Sidekick reorders your rankings on every pick using week-by-week simulations. The Bag Manager tracks what you actually drafted across every slow draft you have running. Different jobs. They work together.

TL;DR

LegUp Sidekick is a draft advisor. The Bag Manager is a portfolio tracker. Sidekick costs $499/year and uses simulations to recommend who to pick in real time. The Bag Manager is free, records every pick from your live and slow drafts automatically, and shows your exposure across Underdog, DraftKings, Drafters, and FFPC. If you can afford Sidekick, use both. Sidekick tells you who. The Bag Manager tells you what you own.

LegUp Sidekick

What they do well

  • Built by Pat Kerrane, Best Ball Mania III winner. Deep credibility in the space.
  • Genuinely differentiated technical approach. Forward-looking sim-driven recommendations rather than rule-based reordering.
  • Bundled value. The extension comes with all LegUp content (rankings, podcasts, articles, market visualizer) under one subscription.
The Bag Manager

Where we win

  • Live and slow draft exposure tracking. Sidekick does not track portfolios at all.
  • Free across all four major platforms (Underdog, DraftKings, Drafters, FFPC). No CSV uploads, no manual entry.
  • Fundamentally different price tier. Free vs. $499 a year.
The Honest Answer

Which should you use?

If you already pay for LegUp content or want sim-driven in-draft recommendations, LegUp Sidekick is one of the most differentiated draft advisors in the category. Add The Bag Manager on top for the portfolio layer Sidekick does not cover. Sidekick itself says you will still want to review and manage your exposures outside the tool. If you want to start free and only need portfolio tracking right now, The Bag Manager solo gets you there.
