OP.GG is where League players look things up. Mobalytics is where they go to get better. Here is what each does, what each costs in October 2026, and which one belongs on your PC.
One disclosure before going further: we build Hexgate, an in-game build overlay for League of Legends. It shows up below as a third option: it adapts your items to the enemy team during the game, which neither app you searched for is built around, and Pro+ adds lane scouting and a breakdown of every game. Everything else is a straight comparison, with prices taken from each company's own pricing page.
Pick OP.GG if you want to look things up. Pick Mobalytics if you want to be told what to fix. OP.GG is also cheaper to use without ads ($3.00 per month) and is the only one of the two with a macOS app.
The stat sheet: pick it to look things up
Any player's match history, your lobby in one multi-search, champion tiers and builds, plus a desktop app that sets runes and items for you.
The coach: pick it to be told what to fix
Its GPI score and matchup advice exist to change how you play: a few skills to work on instead of a long match history.
Our pickBefore, during and after the game: Hexgate. Both apps hand you the same build whether the enemy team is four AD champions or five mages. Hexgate reorders your situational items against the five enemies in your game and sets your runes in champ select, free with no Overwolf and no ads. Pro+ adds Lane Scouting on the loading screen and a Match Breakdown, Habits and Clips after every game. It sits fine next to either app.
See everything it doesThe two subscriptions buy different things. OP.GG's is an ad remover with small extras; the tool itself is free. Mobalytics Plus is where its coaching features live, so the free version is closer to a preview. Here is every plan on one ladder, with Hexgate's next to them.
Each rung is drawn to its monthly price, from free up to €14.99.
€134.88 a year (€11.24 a month) or €14.99 month to month
$69.99 a year ($5.83 a month), $24.99 every 3 months, or $9.99 month to month ($119.88 a year) · 7-day free trial
€89.88 a year (€7.49 a month) or €9.99 month to month
Monthly only on the membership page: $36.00 a year · 7-day free trial
The free tiers
OP.GG and Mobalytics prices are in US dollars as shown to visitors on October 4, 2026, and can differ by region, by currency and during promotions. Hexgate's are in euros as listed on hexgate.app, and the price at checkout is final. The rungs compare face values.
Over a year: OP.GG Ad-free is $36.00, Mobalytics Plus $69.99 paid yearly or $119.88 month to month, Hexgate Pro €89.88 and Pro+ €134.88 paid yearly.
The bottom rung is where Hexgate starts, without ads. Items re-ranked against the enemy team you are actually facing, runes with one-click import, champ select counters and ban targets, and a tier under every ARAM Mayhem augment cost nothing, next to whichever app you keep.
3 free games per day · No ads · No Overwolf · Under 100 MB
Start from the job, not the app. Each row is one thing players install these apps for, and the app that does it best.
Hexgate is the third column because it is the tool we would pair with either of the other two, not a replacement for them.

OP.GG is the stats site most League players already have bookmarked. It shows summoner profiles and match history for almost any server, regional leaderboards, champion tiers with win, pick and ban rates, builds and runes, and a multi-search that checks all your teammates at once. OP.GG Desktop is a standalone app (it does not need the Overwolf client) that auto-sets runes and items, shows which skill to level and overlays a CS and gold comparison in game. It also covers TFT and Valorant.
Mobalytics was built, in its own words, because stats alone do not tell you how to improve. It reads your games into the Gamer Performance Index, a set of skill scores (farming, fighting, vision, survivability and more) you can track over time. The Live Companion prepares the next game with player information, matchup advice and build recommendations; Plus adds champion combos, challenges and Smart Highlights of your best plays.
Put simply: OP.GG gives you the numbers, Mobalytics tries to tell you what they mean for you.
OP.GG's strength is breadth and speed. Looking up an opponent, checking a duo partner's recent form or reading a champion's tier takes seconds, and the multi-search is still the quickest way to size up a lobby. The desktop app is free, standalone and available on Windows and macOS.
Weak spots
Mobalytics' strength is the feedback loop. GPI turns a long match history into a few skills to work on, and matchup advice tells you how to play the lane in front of you. It covers League, TFT, Valorant and more under one Plus subscription.
Weak spots
OP.GG Desktop installs on its own; the Overwolf store even labels it "a standalone app" that does not require the Overwolf client. Mobalytics Desktop is an Overwolf app, so it brings the Overwolf platform with it.
On a strong PC neither will matter. On a 16 GB laptop running League, Discord and a browser, the lighter install is worth choosing on purpose, and you can still use Mobalytics' GPI on its website between sessions.
Both are mainstream, long-running League tools that work from Riot's official data and stay within Riot's third-party rules. Neither will get your account banned.
Details in can you get banned for LoL apps.
OP.GG's builds are the highest win rate builds for your champion this patch. Mobalytics' are its recommended builds with matchup advice on top. Both are decided before the game from thousands of other games, so the build is the same whether the enemy team is four AD champions or five mages.
Hexgate is built for that moment. During the game it reads the enemy team from Riot's Live Client Data API and reorders your situational item slots against their damage split, crowd control, healing, shields, tankiness and who is fed, and it shows the reason for every change. Your first core items stay data-driven. Around that, it covers champ select before the game and, with Pro+, your lane before minions spawn and every game after it ends.
What Hexgate adds
What it does not replace
OP.GG for lookups or Mobalytics for review, and Hexgate for the build in the game you are in. Both apps hand you the average build; Hexgate adapts it during the game.
Match history, multi-search, tiers and auto-set runes and items, standalone on Windows and Mac, and $3.00 a month if you want the ads gone.
GPI and matchup advice give you a plan, not just numbers. Accept Overwolf, the ads on free and $5.83 to $9.99 a month for the full coaching layer.
Both apps hand you the average build. Hexgate adapts it during the game, with no Overwolf and no ads, and sits fine next to either one. Pro+ adds Lane Scouting before the game and a Match Breakdown, Habits and Clips after it.
Try Hexgate freeOP.GG is better for quick lookups: match history, multi-search, champion tiers and builds. Mobalytics is better for improving: its GPI score and matchup advice explain what to fix. Many players use OP.GG for lookups and Mobalytics for post-session review.
Yes. The OP.GG website and desktop app are free with ads. OP.GG Ad-free costs $3.00 per month (October 2026) with a 7-day free trial and removes ads across OP.GG sites and apps.
In October 2026 Mobalytics Plus costs $9.99 per month, $24.99 for 3 months or $69.99 per year, which works out to $5.83 per month. A 7-day free trial is available.
OP.GG Desktop does not: it is a standalone app. Mobalytics Desktop runs on the Overwolf platform. Both companies also have full websites that need no install.
Yes. OP.GG Desktop has a macOS version with stats, builds and loading screen information, but its in-game overlays only work on Windows. Mobalytics Desktop runs on Overwolf, which is Windows only.
No, it sits next to either one. Hexgate adapts your items to the enemy team during the game and sets your runes, counters and ban targets in champ select, free with no ads and no Overwolf. Pro adds unlimited games, lane matchup scoring and one-trick builds. Pro+ adds Lane Scouting on the ranked and Swiftplay loading screen and a Match Breakdown, Habits and Clips after each game. It has no match history lookup of other players and no tier list pages, so keep OP.GG or Mobalytics for those.
OP.GG and Mobalytics solve different problems, which is why so many players keep both bookmarked. If you can only install one desktop app, OP.GG is the lighter and cheaper choice; if your rank has been flat for months, Mobalytics' coaching layer is the more likely fix.
