Our experience with Sportmonks

I use Sportmonks to get Football data to show live feeds and results on kickpros.com. I feel Sportmonks offers the best value for money.

Kickpros

The Sportsmonks soccer API was the best we could find, in terms of coverage that we needed and more importantly a well-made API.

Excellent documentation and the free plans give ample opportunity to test the API with a product in development.
