A study released by QSN today found that QFL Nation spent a staggering $4,334 on fantasy football services over the last 5 years. From FantasyGuru to Fantrax, QSN estimated the costs of all services used by every League to administer QFL Nation. The results may surprise you.
The complicated nature of The QFL Constitution practically necessitates the use of an entire ecosystem of fantasy football tools & services to administer our rules. I was curious how much is cost, so I did the math.
Did you know QFL Nation:
- Spends about $650 annually, not including magazine subscriptions, on fantasy football tools and services throughout the course of a season?
- Saved $267.15 by switching to Fantrax from AllStarStats last year?
- Employed at least 8 different fantasy football services last year?
- Spends more than double on FantasyGuru subscriptions than any other service?

More Observations
- QFL Nation will save more than $1,000 over the next 5 years due to the 29% cost reduction associated with switching to Fantrax. It used to cost $447 annually to use AllStarStats, now it costs $179 to host QFL Nation using Fantrax.
- QFL teams are estimated to spend the most as a League on FF tools & services at $341 annually ($28/person) due mostly to the high concentration of known Guru subscribers.
- Deuce spends $221 as a League (or $18.41/person), while Thrice spends $89 (or $7.40/person).
