Payday Fantasy and Boom Sports compared on how you play, picks per entry, sports, where to play and deposit methods.
Payday Fantasy · Product
The short answer: both apps have player stat pick'em with multipliers. Payday entries hold up to 10 picks, start at $1, can be played on the web, and include Survivor contests and Counter-Strike 2. Boom adds games such as Pick & Spin and Boom Bingo.
On both you predict whether players finish above or below a stat projection, with picks from different teams, and each pick carries a multiplier. Both cover the major US leagues plus soccer, tennis, MMA and esports, and both have a rule for players who leave a game injured early.

Payday entries take 2 to 10 picks. Boom's help center lists 2 to 8 for its pick'em game.
On Payday, choose FLEX: you can miss exactly one pick and still be paid at a reduced multiplier. MAX pays more but needs every pick to hit.
