Mon Petit Prono: review + alternatives
June 29, 2026 · 7 min read
Mon Petit Prono is a great app — and it isn’t the only one. A balanced review, then 4 free alternatives presented honestly, so you find the one that fits you.
Mon Petit Prono: our honest review
Let’s say it plainly: Mon Petit Prono (MPP) is the most solid free prediction app on the French market, and there are real reasons for that. We won’t pretend otherwise just to sell ours.
Its genuine strengths, which we happily acknowledge:
- A huge network effect. 2.3 million players claimed and a 4.7/5 rating across roughly 183,000 ratings (App Store, June 2026). If your whole office already plays somewhere, it’s probably here.
- Notoriety and distribution. “Mon petit prono” has become a generic name, and the app is backed by LFP Media (official prizes, partnerships). It’s hard to be more established.
- A 1-minute onboarding. You create your league, invite people, everyone ticks scores. Zero friction — which is exactly what makes it the default app for office pools during a big tournament.
Now, its limits — and we’re not making them up, they come straight from its own App Store reviews:
- The scoring feels unfair. The #1 complaint: losing by 1 goal or by 12 goals gives the same result. Your genius underdog pick is worth the same as the guy who ticks 1-0 everywhere.
- No real odds. The “boldness” weighting is homemade and opaque — you never really know why one pick pays more than another.
- Ads. They’re there (the “no ads” option costs €2.99) and bet depth is limited (no goalscorers, tables siloed per competition).
Verdict: if you want the app everyone already has and a dead-simple game, MPP is an excellent choice. If one of these limits bugs you, here are 4 alternatives. We also have a detailed one-to-one comparison: Bobibets vs Mon Petit Prono.
4 alternatives to Mon Petit Prono
Each one has its audience. We present them honestly, flaws included — ours too.
1. Bobibets — the alternative with odds + stake
That’s us, and our differentiator fits in two words: real odds. Every pick is weighted by genuine bookmaker odds, locked the moment you bet. Payout = stake × (odds − 1): a daring pick on a 4.50 underdog pays 4.5× more than a safe pick on the favourite. You manage a stake (Sniper mode for pure precision, or All-In with a pot and shoves possible), you play in private leagues, and you trash-talk with the Wall of Fame, the Wall of Shame and the Loto Bobi (your league’s consensus ticket). Picks editable up to 5 minutes before kickoff, for free. It’s all on the how-it-works page.
Full transparency: we’re young (launched in 2026), a small community, football only (5 major leagues + the ongoing 2026 World Cup), and it’s a web app — no native app yet. Free up to 2 active leagues, Légende subscription for the rest.
2. Kicktipp — the king of office pools
The German “Tippspiel” veteran (since ~2000), localised in French. Its strength: free up to 300 players per league, unmatched rule customisation, and 2M+ members. It’s the absolute reference for company pools and big leagues.
Its owned flaw: a spreadsheet-style interface from the year 2000 and zero modern gamification (no odds, no feed, no Wall of Fame). Detailed comparison: Bobibets vs Kicktipp.
3. Scorecast — the unstable multi-sport one
The oldest (2012) and the only truly multi-sport option: football, rugby, tennis, basketball… with chat, missions and weekly divisions. More social than MPP on paper.
But also the worst-rated in the segment (2.8/5 across 513 reviews), with recurring bugs and outages during competitions, a badly received redesign, and paid pick edits (in Scorecoins). We cover it here: Bobibets vs Scorecast.
4. FotMob Predict — the minimalist with huge reach
A free module bolted onto FotMob (20M+ monthly users). Monstrous distribution, renowned UX, private leagues by code, zero friction. If you already live in FotMob, nothing beats its simplicity.
The catch: it’s deliberately minimalist — exact score 2/3 points, no odds, no stake, no social layer (no feed, no chat), big tournaments only. A secondary feature, never deepened.
The recap table
At a glance, what sets each app apart. None of them is “the wrong one”: it all depends on what you’re after.
| Criterion | Mon Petit Prono | The alternatives | Bobibets |
|---|---|---|---|
| Real odds | No — homemade scoring | No (Kicktipp, Scorecast, FotMob) | Yes, locked at bet time |
| Stake management | No | No | Yes — Sniper + All-In |
| Community | Huge (2.3M) | From big (Kicktipp, FotMob) to fragile (Scorecast) | Small, we own it |
| Wall of Fame / Shame | No | No | Yes + Loto Bobi consensus |
| Editing a pick | Until kickoff | Varies (paid on Scorecast) | Free, up to 5 min before kickoff |
So, which one to pick?
If you want the app everyone already has and the most players: stay on Mon Petit Prono, it’s an excellent product. If your office pool has 200 people: Kicktipp. If you want multi-sport and stability doesn’t scare you: Scorecast. If you live in FotMob: FotMob Predict.
But if what bugs you about MPP is that your genius pick is worth the same as the guy who ticks 1-0 everywhere — then it’s Bobibets. We’re young and small, we own it, but we’re the only free prediction game in French where your picks carry real bookmaker odds — without ever risking a euro. Bet virtual, banter for real.
