Simple pricing, honestly cheap
Every plan gets the same Bet365 odds markets — corners and cards included. Plans differ by coverage, throughput and how far back you can go. Start free with no credit card. Community offers the same data quality with focused coverage and throughput, at $0 for those who can't yet pay.

Community Access
For students, researchers, early-career developers and anyone building with no budget. No card, no paperwork — we take your word for it.
A bigger budget should buy scale, not the right to participate.
- 300 requests / hour
- Top-5 leagues plus one country pack of your choice
- All Bet365 odds markets · last 12 months of history
Education Access
For schools and universities that teach with real data. Students join a course with a code; their institution approves them; the plan runs for the length of the course.
For government-registered educational institutions that actually run courses: you provide the registration documents, or we verify you on the official register. Free for the institution and for every student it approves.
This is the public baseline. What a course actually gets — deeper history, a higher rate — is agreed per programme to fit what it teaches.
- 10 requests / min
- 130+ competitions — the same coverage as Pro
- Odds from 20 bookmakers with the full tick history — every price move, pre-match and in-play
- Last 12 months of results & odds
Same markets everywhere. Three things change.
Which leagues, how fast and in what batches, and how far back. The odds you see on Free are the odds Ultra sees — Ultra just sees every league, every bookmaker and every tick since 2014.

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.
European 1X2, Asian handicap, goal line (over/under), corner line, corner Asian handicap, card lines and both teams to score (BTTS) — pre-match and in-play, with opening, current and live values. Bet365 comes with every plan, and 18 more bookmakers are available on Ultra.
See what every bookmaker carries, per marketYes — no credit card required. It covers the top-5 leagues with live scores, fixtures, standings and every Bet365 odds market — corners and cards included — at 60 requests / hour, so you can see the real data before you ever pay. Fixture lists with odds expanded in one call (include=odds) start with Pro.
The free plan with a wider door, for students, researchers, early-career developers and anyone for whom $5 a month is a real decision: the top-5 leagues plus one country's leagues of your choice, the same Bet365 odds markets, 12 months of history and 300 requests / hour, at $0. Pick the line that describes you and a country and it is on for 12 months — on your word, and no card is asked for. Batch odds and the full league list stay with Pro; that is the plan that keeps this one free.
How Community Access worksA $0 plan for schools and universities that teach with real data, free for the institution and for every student it approves. The institution creates a course and hands out its code; students sign up, enter the code on their profile, and once approved hold the plan until the course ends. The public baseline is Pro's coverage with all 20 bookmakers and their tick history, 12 months of it, at 10 requests a minute; partner programmes can get more by agreement, to fit the course. Open to government-registered educational institutions that actually run courses — you provide the registration documents, or we verify you on the official register.
How Education Access worksOne window per plan: 60 requests / hour on Free and 300 requests / hour on Community (both also capped at 20 a minute), then 10 requests / min on Pro and 40 requests / min on Ultra. The window belongs to your account and is shared by every key on it. No daily caps, no monthly pools. Every response includes X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining and X-RateLimit-Reset headers.
Live scores and in-play statistics are written continuously while matches run, and odds are stored tick by tick as bookmakers move their prices. Rather than quote a number here that could go stale, we publish measured freshness — per-match update ages, odds price-change frequency, result settlement completeness and independently monitored uptime — on a public status page that refreshes every minute.
See the live measurementsYes: build the data into commercial websites, apps, models and internal tools, display scores, statistics and odds to your end users, and cache responses. On the $0 plans — Free, Community Access and Education Access — a public-facing product (website, app, bot or published dataset) must include “Football data by 5DollarFootballAPI” with a link to the site. Attribution is optional on paid plans and for private or internal use. The one hard line is reselling or redistributing the raw data itself as a competing feed.
The full usage terms, in plain EnglishPick Pro or Ultra, monthly or annual, and check out through Stripe — card details never touch our servers. The upgrade applies to every API key on your account immediately. Cancel from your dashboard at any time and you keep the paid plan until the end of the period you already paid for.
