Looking for a reliable football data provider that won’t break the bank
I’ve been using API-Football for the past year to power my iPhone live score app. Overall, I’ve been pretty happy with it. The quality-to-price ratio has been good for a small indie project.
However, over the last couple of months I’ve noticed a significant drop in data quality. Missing or delayed events, inconsistent statistics, and overall reliability have become a real issue. On top of that, support doesn’t seem to be what it used to be.
So I’m starting to look at alternatives.
Can anyone recommend a football data provider that offers reliable live data without enterprise-level pricing?
My main focus is the top European leagues (Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1) as well as the Nordic leagues (Allsvenskan, Eliteserien, Danish Superliga, Veikkausliiga, etc.).
I’d also love to hear about your real-world experiences regarding data quality, uptime, and support, not just feature lists.
