FC Helper vs SBC Monkey

Verified against both products' public store listings and sites · Updated July 23, 2026

SBC Monkey is a focused, transparent solver — deliberately simple, Chrome-only, with unobfuscated code you can read. FC Helper covers more workflow. The free-tier difference is the headline.

When SBC Monkey is the right pick

Pick SBC Monkey if you solve a couple of SBCs a day on Chrome and value maximal simplicity — its review-before-submit flow is clean and its $3/month supporter tier is the cheapest paid option here.

When FC Helper is the right pick

Pick FC Helper if 3 free solves a day isn't enough (FC Helper's free tier is 50/day), you play on Firefox or Android, or you want pack tools and batch automation in the same extension.

The daily cap is the real decision

Most of what separates these two comes down to how many challenges you complete in a day. A cap of three is fine for someone doing the occasional challenge and immediately restrictive during a promo week, when there are more challenges available than any cap that low allows.

Fifty free solves a day is not generous by accident — it is set above what a normal day of Ultimate Team requires, so the free tier is a usable product rather than a trial.

Reviewing before you submit

Both tools put a squad in front of you and let you change it before anything is submitted, which is the part that matters most and the part people worry about most. Neither submits on your behalf.

Where they differ is what you do when you dislike a choice. FC Helper lets you exclude the specific card and re-solve, changing only that slot. That turns a squad you nearly like into one you do, without hand-filling anything.

Which to choose

Choose SBC Monkey if you value a small, inspectable tool and three solves a day covers your play.

Choose FC Helper if the cap would bite, or if you want the pack and duplicate tools around solving rather than solving alone.

What neither of them does

Neither creates cards, alters pack contents, or completes a challenge your club cannot cover, and neither submits a challenge for you. Both find a valid squad from what you already own and then stop, which is the correct place to stop.

Platforms

SBC Monkey is Chrome-only. FC Helper runs on Chrome and on Firefox, including Firefox for Android, which matters if you want to clear challenges on a phone — Chrome on Android does not support extensions at all, so a Chrome-only tool cannot work there regardless of who made it.

Free tiers compared

SBC Monkey offers three solutions a day free, with a Supporter plan raising that substantially for a small monthly fee. FC Helper offers fifty solves a day free, with premium removing the cap and adding batch, set and repeat automation plus the pack tools.

Both are honest structures. The difference is where the free tier sits relative to a normal day of play — one is a taste, the other is intended to be enough on its own.
