Alternative · Cross-venue terminal

Converge vs
SimpleFunctions.

Same upstream venues — Polymarket, Kalshi, and Limitless. Converge is built as a custody-free trading terminal for human traders, with cross-venue arbitrage detection and direct wallet execution on each venue's native infrastructure. SimpleFunctions ships the agent layer above the raw market: a causal-tree thesis system with auto-evaluation cycles, autonomous trading via Portfolio Autopilot, computed indicators across 48K+ contracts, and a 56-tool MCP server that drops into any agent framework in one command.

Verdict

Pick the one that fits how
you actually work.

Choose SimpleFunctions if

You are building agents, autonomous systems, or research workflows that need more than execution routing — calibrated probabilities with public Brier scores, causal-tree thesis modelling with signal injection and auto-evaluation, regime classification and computed indicators (implied yield, cliff risk, liquidity availability score) across the full 48K-contract universe, and a 56-tool MCP server that integrates with Claude Code or Cursor in one line.

Choose Converge if

You want a custody-free terminal that aggregates Polymarket, Kalshi, and Limitless in a single interface, executes trades directly on each venue's native wallet, and surfaces cross-venue arbitrage opportunities in a UI built for active human traders. That is Converge's stated product focus, and their terminal is built around that audience.

Same upstream venues (Kalshi + Polymarket + Limitless). Converge is a custody-free terminal built for human traders with arbitrage detection. SimpleFunctions is the agent layer: world model, theses, indicators, autopilot, MCP. Different products, different audiences.

At a glance

Three things that
actually differ.

01

Everything Converge gives you — cross-venue price aggregation across Polymarket, Kalshi, and Limitless, plus arbitrage detection — SimpleFunctions also gives you, on the same Kalshi and Polymarket feeds with 48K+ contracts indexed.

02

On top of that, SF ships a causal-tree thesis system, Portfolio Autopilot (1M-context LLM, 7-gate risk cascade), and 56 MCP tools that no current prediction market terminal exposes.

03

SF also publishes live Brier scores at /api/calibration — Kalshi 0.20, Polymarket 0.12 on T-24h price, past 90 days — letting you audit forecast accuracy before relying on it.

Methodology

Verified 2026-04 from public sources only — Converge's documentation, public website, and publicly observable behaviour. We never claim non-public information about Converge's internals. SimpleFunctions claims on this page are computed live from /api/calibration, /api/public/cross-venue/pairs, and /api/public/markets — you can re-verify them yourself with curl.

Use cases

Same data, different
best fit per scenario.

Scenario 01

Building an AI agent that needs to reason about prediction market probabilities and execute a thesis autonomously.

SimpleFunctions · best fit

SF's causal thesis system decomposes a plain-English sentence into a causal tree of testable sub-claims, scans Kalshi and Polymarket for tradeable edges, and auto-evaluates via a recurring news + LLM cycle. Portfolio Autopilot can execute resulting positions through a 7-gate risk cascade without human intervention.

Converge

Converge is a human-facing terminal and does not expose a thesis API or autonomous execution layer.

Scenario 02

Trading cross-venue arbitrage between Polymarket, Kalshi, and Limitless through a single custody-free interface.

SimpleFunctions

SF provides /api/public/cross-venue/pairs?preset=arb for detecting cross-venue pairs and edge estimates, but it is a data API — it does not offer a custody-free execution terminal that manages multiple venue wallets.

Converge · best fit

Converge is purpose-built for this scenario: it aggregates all three venues, executes directly on each venue's native wallet with no custody, and surfaces arbitrage opportunities in a dedicated UI for active traders. This is their core product.

Scenario 03

Running a research workflow that requires calibrated probability estimates with auditable accuracy metrics.

SimpleFunctions · best fit

SF publishes live Brier scores at /api/calibration segmented by venue, category, and price bucket, computed over the past 90 days on T-24h prices. Computed indicators (implied yield, cliff risk, liquidity availability score) are pre-computed across 48K+ contracts.

Converge

Converge's product focus is execution and aggregation; calibration metrics and research APIs are not part of its documented feature set.

Scenario 04

Integrating prediction market data into an existing AI coding environment like Claude Code or Cursor.

SimpleFunctions · best fit

One command — claude mcp add simplefunctions --url https://simplefunctions.dev/api/mcp/mcp — installs 56 tools covering price queries, thesis creation, signal injection, orderbook depth, and cross-venue pairs.

Converge

Converge has no published MCP server; integration into agent frameworks would require building a custom bridge against an undocumented interface.

Live data

The SimpleFunctions claims on this page are not marketing copy. Brier scores, market counts, and cross-venue pair counts are computed live from /calibration, /screen, and /api/public/cross-venue/pairs. All public, all free, all CC-BY-4.0.

FAQ

What is SimpleFunctions' thesis system and how does it differ from Converge?+

SF's causal thesis system takes a plain-English sentence via POST /api/thesis/create and decomposes it into a causal tree of testable sub-claims. Each node gets a probability that propagates up the tree. An evaluation heartbeat runs on a recurring cycle — news scan, price refresh, milestone check, LLM evaluation, confidence update — and you can inject signals at any node via /api/thesis/{id}/signal. Public theses are forkable. Converge is a trading terminal; it has no thesis decomposition or evaluation infrastructure.

Does Converge have a public REST API I can call from code?+

Based on publicly observable information at converge.bet as of 2026-04, Converge presents as a trading terminal UI rather than a developer API product. No public REST endpoint documentation was found. If you need a programmatic interface with a documented REST spec, SF publishes openapi.json, llms.txt, and a 56-tool MCP server, all without requiring authentication for read operations.

Does SimpleFunctions support Limitless like Converge does?+

SF's current indexed venues are Kalshi and Polymarket, covering 48K+ active contracts. Converge's stated coverage includes Limitless as a third venue alongside Polymarket and Kalshi. If Limitless-specific data or execution is a hard requirement for your workflow, Converge's terminal addresses that directly.

What is Portfolio Autopilot and does any prediction market terminal offer something comparable?+

Portfolio Autopilot is SF's autonomous trading agent: a 1M-context LLM with access to 13 data sources and a 7-gate risk cascade — kill switch, position limits, drawdown gate, regime check, and others — before any order is placed. It reads the thesis system, screens contracts for edges, and executes only when all gates clear. No current prediction market terminal, including Converge, publishes an equivalent autonomous agent layer.

Can I use SimpleFunctions inside Claude Code or Cursor?+

Yes. Run claude mcp add simplefunctions --url https://simplefunctions.dev/api/mcp/mcp to install 56 tools covering price queries, thesis creation, signal injection, orderbook depth, cross-venue pairs, and more. The MCP server requires no API key for read tools. Converge has no published MCP server, so there is no equivalent one-line integration path for agent frameworks.

How does SF's calibration baseline work and why does it matter?+

GET /api/calibration returns SF's own Brier scores segmented by venue (Kalshi and Polymarket), market category, and price bucket, computed over the past 90 days using T-24h prices. Current figures are Kalshi 0.20 and Polymarket 0.12. This lets you audit SF's forecast accuracy before relying on it in a model or agent pipeline. Converge does not publish calibration metrics; its product is execution, not forecast accuracy tracking.

Is SimpleFunctions a trading terminal like Converge?+

They solve different problems. Converge is a custody-free terminal built for human traders who want to execute across Polymarket, Kalshi, and Limitless in a single interface with arbitrage detection. SF is an API, CLI, and MCP server designed for agents, researchers, and developers who need calibrated data, computed indicators, causal thesis modelling, and autonomous execution infrastructure — not a human-facing trading UI.
