The bottom line

Locktopus is a price-focused tool: if your workflow is shopping lines and chasing +EV and arbitrage, it covers that ground and was built for it.

SmartSide covers that workflow too, and adds the pieces around it: tracking your results against the closing line, importing your bet history, research tools and a coach that reads your own record.
