The bottom line

Star Tool Analytics is a research-first product. If you want to study a player’s history and matchup before deciding, it is built for that.

SmartSide aims to cover the research and the step after it: finding the best available price, checking whether the bet has value, and tracking how your bets do against the closing line.
