Pinnacle odds API alternatives: which provider fits which job
If you need live and prematch Pinnacle odds pushed over a WebSocket on a monthly bill, PinnFeed Builder is €99/mo (VAT incl.). As of 9 November 2026 that was the lowest published monthly price we found for a real-time WebSocket that carries live and prematch Pinnacle odds. A prematch-only WebSocket is published lower (oddssea Prematch, $59/mo), and on annual billing odds-api.io comes to about €97.90/mo. If you need many bookmakers, US books, deep football stats or an enterprise contract, one of the providers below is the better pick, and each page says which.
Every price on these pages was read on the vendor's own site on 9 November 2026. Euro figures use the ECB reference rate of 6 November 2026 (1 USD = €0.89566, 1 GBP = €1.1988) and are approximate. Where a vendor does not publish a price we write "quote only"; where we could not verify something we write "sin datos" (no data) instead of guessing.

Three kinds of provider#
- Dedicated Pinnacle feeds (PinnFeed, oddssea, pinnwire, oddspush, and Pinnacle-only resellers that sell REST plus a WebSocket add-on). One bookmaker, the sharp reference price, usually with fair odds and drop data. They differ on live vs prematch scope, connections, billing and payment method.
- Multi-book aggregators (odds-api.io, The Odds API, OpticOdds, OddsJam API). Many bookmakers in one schema. Pinnacle is one of them where it is offered. Better for arbitrage, line shopping and US books.
- Sports data platforms with odds (SportsDataIO, Sportmonks). Scores, stats, lineups and fixtures first, odds as a product or add-on. Better when the odds sit inside a wider sports app.

When another provider wins#
- You need more than Pinnacle: soft books for arbitrage, US sportsbooks, or player props across 100+ operators. PinnFeed carries Pinnacle only.
- You only need prematch odds: oddssea Prematch is published below Builder.
- You can prepay a year: odds-api.io annual Solo + WebSocket works out at about €97.90/mo for 2 bookmakers.
- You only need to poll a few times a minute: The Odds API costs less and has a free tier.
- You need an SLA and a contract for a sportsbook or media product: OpticOdds, OddsJam API or SportsDataIO commercial plans.
When PinnFeed wins#
- You want live and prematch Pinnacle odds pushed over one WebSocket on a monthly bill, with 3 connections.
- You want no-vig fair odds (fair, fairProb, margin) and closing-line history on every market without extra code.
- You want to use the same odds inside ChatGPT or Claude through the MCP server.
- You want to start on a free REST key, then try Builder for 3 days.
How to test before you pay#
- Get a free PinnFeed key and read the quickstart.
- Run the Python and Node WebSocket client for a full match day.
- In parallel, open the free tier or trial of the alternative you are considering.
- Log the same markets from both and compare what you actually need: coverage, fields, connection limits and billing terms.
Questions people ask#
What is the best alternative to the official Pinnacle API?#
Pinnacle closed its public API in July 2025, so every option here is an independent service. For live and prematch Pinnacle odds over a WebSocket on a monthly bill, PinnFeed Builder at €99/mo was the lowest published monthly price we found on 9 November 2026. For prematch only, oddssea Prematch at $59/mo is lower.
Which odds API covers the most bookmakers?#
Of the providers on this page, OpticOdds advertises 200+ sportsbooks and OddsJam and The Odds API each advertise 100+. PinnFeed carries Pinnacle only.
Which alternatives publish their prices?#
PinnFeed, oddssea, pinnwire, oddspush, odds-api.io, The Odds API and Sportmonks publish prices. SportsDataIO publishes only its personal-use Discovery Lab plans. OpticOdds and the OddsJam API are quote only.
Is there a free Pinnacle odds WebSocket?#
We did not find one. Free tiers that include Pinnacle are REST only, for example PinnFeed Free (30-second delay) and The Odds API's 500 credits a month. oddspush offers a 7-day trial that includes its WebSocket.
Try Builder#
Builder is the WebSocket plan: €99/mo, 3 connections, all 13 sports, live and prematch, fair odds and closing lines. Start the 3-day trial from pricing. A card is required and it is charged after day 3 unless you cancel.
18+. PinnFeed is a data API for developers and researchers. Odds data and statistics such as fair odds and CLV are educational tools, not betting advice, and nothing here promises a profit. Bet responsibly.
