The Odds API polling vs PinnFeed WebSocket push
Answer: as of 9 November 2026, The Odds API is REST polling only — free 500 credits/mo, paid from $30/mo (20K credits), Pinnacle listed in the EU region, no WebSocket at any published price. PinnFeed Builder (€99/mo VAT incl. where applicable) pushes live + prematch Pinnacle odds. We are not cheaper than The Odds API in absolute dollars. Details: The Odds API WebSocket answer.
Fit matrix#
| Need | Better fit |
|---|---|
| Many books, polling OK, lowest $ | The Odds API ($30 / free tier) |
| Pinnacle steam / live models / CLV | PinnFeed Builder push |
| Sheets add-on for multi-book | The Odds API publishes Sheets/Excel add-ons |
| No-vig fair + closing history on Pinnacle | PinnFeed Builder |
Claim scope: lowest published live + prematch Pinnacle WebSocket on monthly or annual billing — not “cheapest odds API”. See compare.
