The short version
If you want the widest range of solo drills, Refrag has more of them. If you practise as a team, Subtick keeps the plays, the scrims, the demos and the comms together, and your TeamSpeak lines up with every round in the 2D replay.
Where they differ
- Team playbook: Subtick has one, with slots, tasks, buys and plays recorded on the server. Refrag does not list a team strat book.
- Comms: Subtick records each player's TeamSpeak on its own track and syncs it to the round. Refrag does not list comms recording.
- Drills: Refrag lists more drill types, including utility, retake and recoil training.
- Pro replays: free to watch on Subtick without an account. Refrag's 2D viewer is on its Prime plan.
