API-Sports is a well-priced family of global sports APIs, football-first, with a permanent free plan — a genuinely good choice if you're building a football or basketball product. What it doesn't have is Australian horse and greyhound racing, which is not in its product set at any price. If that's what you need, no tier upgrade will get you there.
Free tier · 1,500 credits/mo · no credit card. 14 Australian bookmakers on racing — BetDeluxe, Betr, TAB, Neds, Ladbrokes, BetRight, PointsBet, NextBet (formerly PlayUp), TABtouch, Palmerbet, Unibet, Sportsbet, BetGold and BoostBet — and 6 on sports.

| Best for | Global football/basketball products | Australian racing and betting products |
You're building around football, basketball or another global sport, want very cheap per-request pricing, and Australian racing isn't part of the picture.
You need Australian racing or Australian bookmaker prices — coverage a global football-first API doesn't offer at any tier.
