The affordable Goalserve alternative
A veteran feed provider aimed at betting operators. Broad, odds-inclusive data — but the soccer package runs around $150/mo, there is no free tier, and onboarding is contact-based rather than self-serve.
Feed-grade fixtures, live scores and odds — self-serve with a free tier, from $5/mo instead of a ~$150/mo feed contract.

Frequently asked questions
You get the same core resources developers build on — live scores, fixtures, standings, teams and odds — plus corner-line odds and corner/card league tables that API-Football does not offer. We do not claim parity on player-level extras like transfers or injuries. The pitch is "their feature set, plus richer odds and corner stats, at roughly a quarter of the price."
A different business model, not different data. We run on thin margins and make it work on volume — pricing for every developer, not a handful of premium accounts. That is also why there are no add-ons or per-league packs: one flat price keeps the model simple. The price is not a teaser or an introductory rate; it is how the business is built.
