Same argument. One of them pays out.
Rounder is a social competition app for settling arguments with friends across sports, TV and everyday life. It is explicit that no real money is involved. Poll runs the same kind of argument as a real cash bet.

What Rounder does better
Rounder is a better fit for a group that mostly wants the receipts. There is no funding step, no question about whether real-money betting is allowed where you live, and no chance of a friendship taking damage over an actual payout. The shareable proof of who called it right is the whole product, and it is good at that.
Pick Rounder if
Your group argues for fun and nobody wants cash involved, or you are on iPhone and just want to settle who was right without anyone opening a wallet.
Questions people ask
Does Rounder involve real money?
No. Rounder's App Store listing states plainly that it is just a game with no real money betting. Bets there are for bragging rights.
Can I bet real cash with friends on Poll instead?
Yes. On Poll each bet is a real cash wager in USDC. The stake is held while the bet runs and pays out once the group confirms the result.
Which should a fantasy league use?
If the league punishment is purely social, Rounder covers it. If there is a buy-in or a cash side pot, Poll settles the money so the commissioner does not have to chase anyone.
