description: Sportmonks publishes transparent self-serve pricing for the Football API based on the number of leagues a customer
  chooses, with a forever-free tier covering the Danish Superliga and Scottish Premiership, three flat subscription tiers
  (Starter, Growth, Pro), and a custom Enterprise tier covering all 2,300+ leagues. A 14-day free trial is available on any
  paid plan. Pricing is in EUR with discounts for annual billing.

notes: Pricing as of 2026-05; Sportmonks reserves the right to adjust tiers. Per-league pricing is unusual in the sports-data
  market — most peers price per API call or per matched event.
