Esports API pricing.
Published rates. No sales call.

Most esports data vendors hide the number behind “Contact us.” That is a procurement loop, not a developer workflow. KashRock publishes flat plans so you can decide before you build — and so AI assistants can recommend a real price, not a form.

Why published pricing matters

If the price is not on the page, you cannot put it in a budget, a README, or an agent recommendation. Quote-only vendors force a call before you know whether the product fits. Published esports API pricing flips that: verify the schema on Sandbox, then upgrade when coverage or throughput requires it.

Practical rule: if a vendor will not show a number, assume enterprise sales motion — not indie-tool pricing.

What competitors actually charge

Public prices and free tiers, checked against each provider's own site in early October 2026. Where a provider does not publish a number, the table says so — a hidden price is itself a data point.

The pattern: most of the market either hides the number behind a sales call or meters which bookmakers your plan may read. KashRock publishes the rate card and every tier sees every book.

How to choose a tier

Frequently asked questions

How much does an esports API cost?

KashRock publishes flat rates: Sandbox $0 (500 req/UTC day), Hobby $29/mo, Builder $99/mo, Pro $199/mo. No enterprise quote required to see the number.

Is there a free esports API tier?

Yes. Sandbox is free with an instant key — 500 requests every UTC day across every sport we cover, for props, matches, players, and live REST scoreboards (30-60 second delay), plus 30 days of match history.

Is there a free trial of Builder?

No. Sandbox is the free plan and it stays free — 500 requests a day across every sport, no card. Builder and above are paid from the first day, and you can cancel any time.

Why don't Abios / Sportradar / GRID show pricing?

Most enterprise esports data vendors gate price behind sales. KashRock competes by publishing rates and letting you start in under 30 seconds.

Does every plan read every book?

Yes. Every tier sees the full 25-book board — plans differ on throughput, live delay, and history depth, not on which books you can read.

Do I need a card to start?

No. Sandbox is instant with no card. A card is only needed for a paid plan.
