Draft anything, live.
Upload any list — fantasy football players, MLB prospects, your beer-league roster, even movies — and run real-time snake drafts or budget auctions with your friends. Synced clocks, live bidding, zero spam.
A full draft engine, not a spreadsheet
Every core feature is free forever. Run as many drafts and auctions as you want, for whatever you want.
Draft literally anything
Upload a CSV with unlimited custom rating columns, or start from a community or system template. Players, teams, prospects, keepers — if it fits in a list, you can draft it.
Snake & standard drafts
Run classic linear or snake drafts with configurable rounds, roster sizes, and per-pick timers that keep the board moving.
Budget auctions
Full nomination auctions with live bidding, anti-snipe extensions, max bids, and minimum increments. Salary caps optional.
Hybrid format
Auction the top N of your board, then snake-draft the rest. The best of both worlds in a single event.
Truly live & synced
Server-authoritative clocks keep every manager on the exact same second. Drop off and reconnect anytime — your seat is waiting.
Auto-pick on the clock
Nobody likes waiting on an AFK manager. Optional auto-pick takes the best available by rank the moment the timer hits zero.
Friends, invites & lobby
Add friends by username, invite them to your event, set or randomize the draft order, and ready-up together in the lobby.
Live chat & sound alerts
Talk trash in real time and get an audible heads-up when you are on the clock. Zero email spam, zero refresh-to-see-the-pick.
Public spectating
Open the doors and let the league, the group chat, or the whole internet watch your draft unfold pick by pick.
Pro-grade board tools
Search, sort, and filter the pool by position, team, and any custom rating. Never scroll past your sleeper again.
No duplicate picks, ever
Database-level locks and a per-event mutex make double-picks and race conditions impossible, even with a full room bidding at once.
Template marketplace
Browse ready-made community and system templates for dozens of sports, or publish your own for the world to draft.

Questions, answered
Is LiveDraft-It free?
Drafts with 4 or fewer participants are completely free. Larger drafts have a simple one-time price based on size — and every feature, including everything that used to be premium, is included at every tier.
How much does a draft cost?
Pricing is per draft, based on the number of participants (teams): up to 4 is free, 5–8 is $5, 9–16 is $10, and 17 or more is $20. That is a one-time charge for the whole draft — no subscription and no per-seat fees.
Do I have to pay extra for premium features?
No. Item photos, custom cover images, anonymous auction bidding, and priority support are all included in every draft at no additional cost — even on free drafts.
Do I need to know how to code or use a spreadsheet?
No. Start from a ready-made template in one click, or upload a simple CSV. We provide a downloadable template with the columns already set up for you.
How many people can join a draft?
As many as your format needs. Invite friends by username, set the draft order, and everyone joins the live room from any device — no installs required.
What draft formats are supported?
Standard and snake drafts, budget auctions with anti-snipe and max bids, and a hybrid mode that auctions the top of your board before drafting the rest.
What happens if someone loses connection?
The clock is server-authoritative, so the draft stays in sync for everyone. Anyone who drops can reconnect and resume exactly where they left off, and optional auto-pick keeps things moving on the clock.
Can other people watch our draft?
Yes — flip on public spectating and anyone with the link can follow along pick by pick, live.
