Unabated is the API for the people who actually move lines. WebSocket real-time. No call limits. Explicit Pinnacle and Circa coverage. The data feed is built for advantage bettors and small trading shops where Pinnacle vig and Circa lines are the whole game. If that is your buyer, Unabated genuinely earns its premium.

It is also a closed-doors premium subscription with no free tier and a very specific shape. Edge surfaces (+EV, arb, value bets as endpoints) are not the product — Unabated ships raw lines and movements; the math is on you. Hit rates per prop line and AI chat are not in the picture either.

MoneyLine is the alternative for builders who are not running a Pinnacle-flavored trading shop. Same kind of real-time odds where it matters, plus +EV, arbitrage, hit rates, and a grounded AI endpoint, on a free tier.

Round by round

1

Pinnacle and Circa coverage

Unabated

Sharp bettors live and die on Pinnacle vig and Circa lines. Unabated explicitly includes both, which most cheaper feeds quietly skip.

MoneyLine API

Curated U.S. sportsbook + DFS + allowlisted exchange feed. Pinnacle and Circa specifically are not the focus.

For an advantage-bettor product where Pinnacle and Circa are the whole game, Unabated wins this round and we will not pretend otherwise.

WebSocket real-time without throttling

Unabated

WebSocket feeds with no call limits — built for sharp action where every tick matters and the API has to keep up.

MoneyLine API

Production-fast updates suitable for most builder use cases. WebSocket / no-throttle is not our pitch.

If your product is a real-time alerts feed for sharp bettors, Unabated's wire shape wins.

Edge data

Unabated

Raw lines and movements. The +EV / arbitrage math is the customer's job, even though the buyer is by definition someone who computes edges.

MoneyLine API

First-class +EV, value, and arbitrage endpoints with sane-price guardrails, sportsbook-only consensus on arb, exchange allowlist, and DFS exclusion.

It is genuinely strange for an advantage-bettor API not to ship edge endpoints. MoneyLine fills that gap as a primary product surface.

✓ MoneyLine takes the round

Hit rates and AI for builders

Unabated

Player props are present. Hit rates per prop line and AI chat are not.

MoneyLine API

Hit rates pre-computed per (player, market, line). /v1/ai/chat returns grounded answers with a UI presentation contract.

For consumer-product UIs that need explanations and recommendations, these are the surfaces that ship the product.

Free tier

Unabated

No public free tier. Premium subscription only.

MoneyLine API

Free tier with every endpoint included for personal AND commercial use. Sign up, build, ship.

For non-sharp-trading buyers, the cost-to-prototype is the most important pricing dimension.

Unabated is the right tool if your product is specifically a sharp-action data feed where Pinnacle and Circa are the headline books. For the broader builder market — recommendation products, AI features, consumer UIs that need explanations — MoneyLine ships the surfaces Unabated leaves out, on a free tier.

Why MoneyLine wins for builders

Unabated and MoneyLine genuinely serve different buyers. Unabated is for advantage bettors and small trading shops who already know exactly which lines they need. MoneyLine is for builders shipping products that surface edges and explanations to non-experts.

Where the gap shows up is on the surfaces past the raw feed. Edge endpoints, hit rates, AI chat — these are the ones that turn raw data into a shippable consumer product. Unabated leaves those entirely to the customer; MoneyLine ships all three as first-class endpoints.

A reasonable mental model: pick Unabated if your buyer hand-rolls trading models against Pinnacle. Pick MoneyLine if your buyer is anyone whose product is going to render an explanation, a recommendation, or an AI chat answer.

FAQ

+Does MoneyLine cover Pinnacle and Circa like Unabated?

MoneyLine's book coverage is curated and focuses on the major U.S. sportsbooks plus DFS and an allowlisted set of exchange / prediction-market venues. Pinnacle and Circa specifically are not the focus, which is the one place Unabated has a clear edge for sharp-trading products. For builder products that do not depend on those two books specifically, MoneyLine has the edge surface and product surfaces Unabated lacks.

+Does Unabated have +EV or arbitrage endpoints?

Unabated ships raw lines and movements; the +EV / arbitrage math is computed by the customer downstream. It is a counterintuitive choice for an advantage-bettor API but accurately reflects the buyer profile (people who already have their own model). MoneyLine ships +EV, value, and arbitrage as first-class endpoints with sane-price guardrails.

+Can I use Unabated and MoneyLine in the same stack?

Yes. A reasonable pattern is using Unabated for sharp-action Pinnacle / Circa feeds and MoneyLine for the broader U.S. book set plus the edge / hit-rate / AI stack. The two APIs do not overlap heavily in scope, so they coexist cleanly.
