Odds API comparison

OddsLink vs TheRundown

TheRundown counts data points, every price row it returns, and keeps most books off its free plan. OddsLink counts one request per call and gives every plan all 46 books.

Where OddsLink is different

Every book from day one

TheRundown's free plan carries DraftKings, FanDuel and BetMGM. OddsLink Free carries all 46 books, Pinnacle, exchanges and prediction markets included.

Big responses cost the same

A data point is one returned price row, so a board full of alternate lines spends a data point for every price on it. On OddsLink that board is one request.

Streaming for less

OddsLink's WebSocket feed is a $99 add-on from the $49 Growth plan and included on Business. TheRundown starts WebSocket at Ultra, $399 a month.
