TheRundown ran from a free tier to $2,499 a month on 15 Nov 2026, with WebSocket only from Ultra ($399). Alternatives with cheaper streaming: ParlayAPI (WebSocket from $40) and, for Novig, novigapi.com (stream on every plan). For longer history per dollar, The Odds API's paid plans start at $30 with data from 2020. (Source: [TheRundown: API pricing](https://therundown.io/pricing/api))

TheRundown's ladder is clear: delay drops and history grows with each plan. People move when they need a stream below $399 or history below $49.
