Sports Odds API Pricing — Complete Comparison

This is the single source of truth for FieldFunded pricing and competitive cost analysis.

​
FieldFunded Pricing

All tiers include all 25 endpoints and all features. The only difference is volume.
Monitoring endpoints (/ping, /health, /status) are exempt from the monthly quota and have their own fixed rate limits: 2 req/s and 120 req/h — equal for all tiers. Use them freely for uptime monitoring.

​
Quota Warnings

Progressive warnings at 50%, 80%, and 95% of your monthly limit via the /usage/warnings endpoint. No surprise cutoffs.

​
What Counts as a Request?

1 API call = 1 request. Always. No multipliers, no credit systems, no hidden math.

​
Competitor Pricing (Verified May 2026)

​
The Odds API

Credits are NOT 1:1 with requests. Each call costs markets × regions credits. A call for 3 markets across 2 regions burns 6 credits per call.
