Pinnacle odds API comparison: who streams Pinnacle prices, and what it costs
If you need Pinnacle odds pushed to your code the moment they move, the market splits into three groups: self-serve APIs with a WebSocket, Pinnacle-only resellers that sell the socket as an add-on, and enterprise vendors that only quote on a sales call. This page lists the published prices we found, with links, so you can check every number yourself.
Short answer: on 9 November 2026, PinnFeed Builder at €99/month was the lowest monthly-billed published price we could find for a real-time WebSocket that carries Pinnacle odds. On annual billing, odds-api.io's Solo + WebSocket works out slightly lower per month (≈ €97.90), paid a year up front. If you only need to poll, The Odds API is cheaper than everyone, but it has no push feed at all.

How to read it#
- Push vs polling. A WebSocket delivers each price change once, when it happens. Polling a REST endpoint every N seconds misses moves in between and burns quota on prices that did not change. For steam detection, in-play models or anything time-sensitive, push is the feature that matters. See why push beats polling.
- Pinnacle-only vs multi-book. PinnFeed carries Pinnacle only, the sharpest market and the usual reference price. If you also need soft-book prices in the same feed, a multi-book aggregator such as odds-api.io or SportsGameOdds is the better fit, and you pay for each extra bookmaker.
- What the price includes. Builder bundles the WebSocket with REST at 10 requests per second, all 13 sports, alternate lines, props and futures, no-vig fair odds on every market and closing-line history. Pinnacle-only resellers sell the socket as a $99 add-on on top of a REST plan, which is why the total is about €177.
- Quote-only vendors. OpticOdds, the OddsJam API and the B2B tiers of other providers do not publish prices. Third-party articles quote figures, but we leave them out because the vendors have not published them.
What we do not claim#
- We do not claim lower latency than any named provider; we have not run a head-to-head test.
- We do not claim to be cheaper than The Odds API, which costs less but does not push data.
- "Cheapest" here means the lowest published monthly-billed price for a real-time WebSocket carrying Pinnacle odds that we could find on 9 November 2026. Prices change. If you spot a cheaper published plan, email us and we will update this page.
