pinnodds alternative with the WebSocket in the plan
pinnodds and PinnFeed both carry Pinnacle odds only, live and prematch. With pinnodds, the WebSocket is a +$99/mo add-on on a REST plan, so the lowest total with a WebSocket is Pro $99 + WebSocket $99 = $198/mo (≈ €177.34). PinnFeed Builder includes the WebSocket for €99/mo (VAT incl.). If you want server-side drop alerts over SSE, a raw passthrough of Pinnacle's frames, or a free key with no expiry, pinnodds is a good fit.
pinnodds facts are from its home page, docs and llms.txt, read on 9 November 2026. Euro figures use the ECB rate of 6 November 2026 (1 USD = €0.89566). Prices are in USD; VAT is not stated.
What pinnodds offers#
- A Pinnacle-only feed: live and prematch REST, SSE drop streams, a raw WebSocket add-on and an MCP server. The home page lists 14 sports.
- Trial: free, no card, no expiry, 100 requests a day; no SSE. A 3-day full demo is available on request.
- Stream $99/mo: SSE drop alerts (live and prematch), REST limited to the trial quota.
- Pro $99/mo: REST at 10 requests a second, unlimited volume, no SSE.
- Pro + SSE $149/mo: REST 10/s plus SSE drop streams.
- Scale $229/mo: REST 30/s plus SSE drop streams.
- Raw WebSocket add-on +$99/mo on Pro, Pro + SSE or Scale (not Stream or Trial): forwards Pinnacle's frames byte-identical, plus the prematch REST snapshot. A second connection with the same key evicts the first. $99 for 30 days, $297 for 90, $594 for 180.
- Drop alerts carry a no-vig fair price (
nvp) for the outcome. - Quarterly terms save up to 16% and 6-month terms up to 24% on the base plans.
- Card through Stripe (monthly, auto-renewing, cancel from the panel) or one-off crypto.

- You want Pinnacle's raw frames byte-identical, for example to build your own normalizer.
- You want a free key with no expiry for a long REST evaluation.
- You can commit to 3 or 6 months and want the term discounts.

When PinnFeed fits better#
- You want the WebSocket in the plan: €99 against $198 for REST + WebSocket.
- You run more than one consumer: Builder includes 3 connections.
- You want normalized deltas with fair odds on every market and closing lines for CLV (CLV guide).
