# Odds API for Startups

> Build your sports betting MVP this week. Free odds API with SDK, settlement, and visual assets. No sales calls, no contracts, no enterprise pricing.

# Sports Odds API for Startups — Ship This Week

Sportradar charges \$25K+/year with no public pricing. Their sales cycle takes weeks. Your runway doesn't wait.

FieldFunded lets you go from idea to working MVP in days, not months.

## Why Startups Can't Use Sportradar

|                            | Sportradar                | FieldFunded                 |
| -------------------------- | ------------------------- | --------------------------- |
| **Time to first API call** | Weeks (sales process)     | 5 minutes                   |
| **Cost to start**          | \$25,000+/year            | \$0                         |
| **Contract**               | Annual commitment         | Cancel anytime              |
| **Pricing visibility**     | "Contact Sales"           | Public pricing page         |
| **Features on free/trial** | Limited (1K req, 30 days) | All 25 endpoints, permanent |

Enterprise sales cycles kill startup velocity. By the time you negotiate a Sportradar contract, your competitor shipped an MVP with FieldFunded's free tier.

## The Startup Stack (All Free Tiers)

| Layer       | Tool               | Cost              |
| ----------- | ------------------ | ----------------- |
| Frontend    | Next.js / React    | \$0 (Vercel free) |
| Sports Data | FieldFunded API    | \$0 (10K req/mo)  |
| Database    | Supabase           | \$0 (free tier)   |
| Backend     | Node.js on Railway | \$0 (free tier)   |
| **Total**   |                    | **\$0/month**     |

You can build and launch a fully functional sports betting MVP without spending a single dollar on infrastructure.

## Scaling Path

| Stage             | Timeline  | Plan    | Cost       |
| ----------------- | --------- | ------- | ---------- |
| **Validate idea** | Week 1    | Free    | \$0        |
| **Build MVP**     | Weeks 2-4 | Free    | \$0        |
| **Launch beta**   | Month 2   | Starter | \$29/mo    |
| **Production**    | Month 3-6 | Pro     | \$59/mo    |
| **Scale**         | Month 6+  | Ultra   | \$99.99/mo |
| **High volume**   | Year 1+   | Mega    | \$299/mo   |

Compare: Sportradar = **\$25,000+ before writing a single line of code.**

## What's Included at Every Tier

No feature gating. The free tier gets the same endpoints as the \$299/mo tier:

* All 25 endpoints (Sports, Events, Live, Odds, Settlement, Parlays, Outrights, System, Usage)
* 30+ sports including esports
* 1,000+ markets per event
* Automatic gradual settlement
* TypeScript SDK with full type safety
* Visual assets (team logos, league logos, country flags)
* Live scores with period data
* 99.9% uptime target

## Visual Assets Save Dev Time

Other APIs give you odds data. Then you spend **weeks** finding and organizing:

* Team logos for 10,000+ teams
* League logos for 500+ competitions
* Country flags for 200+ countries

FieldFunded includes all visual assets via API endpoints. One integration, everything included.
