The sticker price is not the price

Player props are where odds APIs get expensive, and it usually isn't the headline number that does it — it's the billing unit. Most providers bill credits, and a credit is charged per market. The-odds-api publishes the formula plainly: cost = markets × regions.

So a single call for one game's props across ten prop markets costs ten credits, not one. On their $30/month plan (20,000 credits) that is 2,000 such calls a month — about 66 a day. Historical odds are billed at ten times that rate again.

PropLine bills per request. One call returns every market on the event — primary lines, alt lines, every book — and counts as one. That difference is worth more than any discount on the sticker price, and it is biggest on exactly the markets you came for.

What the market charges

Provider	Free tier	Cheapest paid	Billed by
PropLine	1,000/day	$9/mo	Request
the-odds-api	500 credits/month	$30/mo (20K credits)	Credit (per market)
OddsJam	None published	No public price — contact sales	Not published
OpticOdds	None published	No public price — contact sales	Not published
Sportradar	Trial key	Enterprise quote	Contract

Prices read off each provider's own published pricing page in August 2026. Where a provider does not publish a price for API access, we say so rather than guess — several third-party round-ups quote a consumer subscription price for a company whose API is quote-only, which is not the same product.

Every PropLine tier

Tier	Price	Requests per day
Free	$0	1,000
Hobby	$9/mo	5,000
Pro	$19/mo	25,000
Streaming Lite	$39/mo	100,000
Streaming	$79/mo	1,000,000

The paid feature set starts at Hobby ($9) — graded prop results, line history, closing lines and cross-book +EV are all included there. Pro ($19) is a volume upgrade with CSV exports on top, not a different feature set. No credit card to start.

Cheap is not the only reason to pick it

Everything above is about price. The reason people stay is that PropLine answers a question the cheap tier of an odds API normally can't: did the prop hit? Our resolver polls the official MLB, NBA, NHL and ESPN feeds after each game and grades every Over/Under against the real box-score stat — won, lost or push, with the actual number attached.

That is included from $9/month, along with historical line movement, opening and closing lines for CLV, and cross-book +EV with no-vig fair lines. Coverage is 54 sports across 19 sportsbooks and DFS books plus 6 exchanges.
