Side by side
| Compared on | OpticOdds | OddsRelay |
|---|---|---|
| Output | Raw odds, which it states are real-time, plus an odds screen, a bet builder and trading tools. Its API page, FAQ and docs document no output that pairs bookmaker prices with exchange lay. | Two feeds on every plan: raw bookmaker prices, and the same prices already paired with an exchange lay price and its liquidity, ready for an oddsmatcher. |
| bet365 | Not in its public sportsbook table (refreshed September 2026), and its old bet365 page redirects to a general list. Its docs point to a key-gated endpoint for the live list. | In the feed. bet365's page lists the feed types that carry it. |
| UK bookmakers | No UK region or category. Each book carries its own country label, such as "BetMGM (UK)" and "Unibet (United Kingdom)". | 140+ bookmakers, 60+ of them live in the UK & Ireland, in one schema. The coverage page shows what we cover. |
| Exchange lay prices | Betfair Exchange (with separate lay sources), Matchbook and Limitless among 18 exchanges and prediction markets in its developer table, each a separate raw source. | Lay prices and liquidity from the four UK exchanges (Betfair, Smarkets, Matchbook and BETDAQ), beside each bookmaker price in the raw feed and paired with it in the matched feed. |
| Regions | Books from many countries, with no documented region filter. | The UK & Ireland today, with 60+ bookmakers live, selected with one region parameter. |
| Delivery | A push stream built for in-play trading. | Polled pre-match, with no in-play stream. If in-play speed is the job, OpticOdds is the stronger tool. |
