● comparison — competitor facts checked 11 November 2026
The others send you prices. pinnodds tells you when the line moves. Drop alerts detected on our servers, a real-time key that stays free, official SDKs and name matching across sportsbooks — compared with pinnapi, PinnFeed, OddsPush, PinnWire and OpticOdds.
No card. No Pinnacle account. One API key for REST + streams.
Module 01 — Overview
Since Pinnacle closed its public API in July 2025, several independent feeds carry its odds: pinnodds, pinnapi, PinnFeed, OddsPush, PinnWire and, for operators, OpticOdds. They all deliver Pinnacle prices. They differ in what they do with them.
A raw price feed tells you what the odds are. pinnodds also tells you when they move: every market is watched on our servers and a drop is pushed to your bot the moment it happens, with the no-vig fair price and the live match state attached to in-play alerts. On top of that you get a free key with real-time data, official Python and Node SDKs, an MCP server for AI assistants, and SportsMeld to match names across sportsbooks.
The table below puts the six side by side. If you want the longer write-up with The Odds API, SharpAPI and SportsGameOdds included, read the Pinnacle odds API comparison for 2026.

Module 04 — One on one
PinnFeed opened in November 2026 with a REST and WebSocket price feed. Its free key is delayed by 30 seconds and covers two sports, it has no official SDK, and drops come as a list you poll. pinnodds gives real-time data on the free key across every sport, pushes drop alerts to you, and ships Python and Node SDKs.
OddsPush also opened in November 2026. It is paid in crypto only, its trial is switched on by hand over Telegram, and a key streams from one IP at a time. With pinnodds you pay by card or crypto, the free key is issued at signup, and drop detection is done for you.
PinnWire sells a similar set of plans over REST, SSE and WebSocket. pinnodds adds SportsMeld name matching, the live match state on in-play drop alerts, and official Python and Node SDKs.
pinnapi's plans cost the same as ours. pinnodds adds SportsMeld, an MCP server, an OpenAPI file and live odds boards you can check the feed against.
OpticOdds is an enterprise platform sold through a sales process. pinnodds publishes every price and issues a key in minutes. The full write-up is on the OpticOdds alternative page.
