A PokerTracker alternative that runs in your browser
Poker Unity is a free, browser-based alternative to PokerTracker 4 for reviewing your own hand histories. It reads PokerStars, GG and OHH exports, turns them into 45 stats by position, format and date, and opens the exact hands behind any number in a replayer. It does not put a HUD on the table while you play online — if that is what you need PokerTracker is still the answer.
Free under a $25 buy-in or $0.25 blinds — no licence key, no install, no card. Above that line, Premium is ฿499 or $15 a month for every stake.

Why people move across
Its numbers are reconciled against PT4
PokerTracker 4 is the reference this engine was built against: 30 of its columns were reproduced and matched on a 17,753-hand audit. Where a definition deliberately differs, the stat says so on screen — 15 of the 45 do.
Nothing to install, and no licence to lose
PokerTracker is a Windows-first desktop application with a database behind it and a licence key in front of it. This is a web page. It opens on a Mac, a PC, a Linux box, an iPad or a phone, and there is no version to keep in sync with your poker site.
Every stat opens its own hands
A number you cannot audit is a number you cannot trust. Click any stat and it tells you what it counted, how many times you took each branch, and how wide its confidence interval is — then hands you the exact hands, which queue up in the replayer in order.
What Poker Unity does not do
It does not sit on the table while you play online. There is no overlay on your poker client and nothing reads your screen.
It does not import by itself. You upload or paste a hand history; no folder is watched.
It is not a bulk opponent database. Stats are for your own play; notes on other players are ones you write.
The Live HUD is for live poker: you tap what each seat does at a casino table. It is not an online overlay.
Stay on PokerTracker if you need a live HUD on your online tables, automatic hand-history importing, or a large database of opponents built from hands you did not play.
Questions
Is Poker Unity a free alternative to PokerTracker 4?
Yes. Free under a $25 buy-in or $0.25 blinds — no licence key, no install, no card. Above that line, Premium is ฿499 or $15 a month for every stake. It reads the same hand history files — PokerStars, GG Poker, Open Hand History (OHH) — and turns them into 45 stats over your own play.
Does it work on a Mac?
Yes. It runs in the browser, so macOS, Windows, Linux, iPad and phone all work the same way. There is nothing to install and no virtual machine to keep.
Does it replace the PokerTracker 4 HUD?
No. Nothing is overlaid on your poker client and nothing reads your screen while you play online. The Live HUD is for live poker: you tap what each seat does at a casino table. It is not an online overlay.
How do my hands get in?
You upload or paste a hand history export and save it to a collection. PokerStars, GG Poker, Open Hand History (OHH) are supported. No folder is watched and nothing imports by itself.
Are the stats the same ones a tracker shows?
They are built to be comparable: the engine was reconciled against PokerTracker 4 on a 17,753-hand audit. 15 of the 45 stats carry a note naming exactly where their definition differs and why.
Look before you sign up
Database Review opens on an example database — every stat, every filter, every leak it found
— so you can judge it before you hand it a single hand history.
