Is propzapi cheaper than The Odds API?

At the entry and mid tiers most developers buy, yes. propzapi Indie is $19 and Pro is $49, versus The Odds API's $30 and $59. Their per-call credit burn is also heavier because they multiply markets by regions, while propzapi charges by market only.

Does propzapi have player props?

Yes, as a first-class endpoint. Props are the markets most odds APIs cover thinly, and they are the thing propzapi is built around.

The Odds API alternative

Alternative

A The Odds API alternative, built for the parts they skimp on

The Odds API is the category default, and it works. But two things send people looking: the credit system that burns fast when you query more than one market, and thin player-props coverage. propzapi fixes both.

Side by side

Where they differ

	propzapi	The Odds API
Entry price	$19	$30
Mid tier	$49 / 100k credits	$59 / 100k credits
Credit cost per call	By market (1–5)	markets × regions
Cost returned per call	Yes (X-Credits-Cost header)	No
Player props	First-class endpoint	Limited
MCP server for AI agents	Yes	No
Free tier	500 credits, no card	500 credits

Both bill in credits; propzapi's are lighter per call because there is no region multiplier. At very high volume, The Odds API's large buckets can be cheaper per credit — see our pricing.

Why people switch

Three reasons

Predictable cost

The Odds API charges markets × regions, so a multi-market call quietly drains credits. propzapi charges by market and tells you the exact cost in a header.

Real props depth

Player props and same-game-parlay data are the fastest-growing bet types and the incumbents' weakest area. That is propzapi's whole focus.

Agent-ready

An MCP server, llms.txt and OpenAPI ship in the box, so a betting bot or agent can call odds in one line. No wrapper to write.
