Comparison
Feedico vs FMTC: which coupon feed API fits your site?
FMTC sells a hand-curated deal feed built from its own database. Feedico takes a different route: it pulls coupons, deals and merchants from the affiliate networks you connect and returns them in one JSON schema, with API access on every plan. If you want an editor-checked feed and have an enterprise budget, FMTC is built for that. If you want your own network data in one API from $15.99 a month, read on.
FMTC figures come from fmtc.co (pricing, homepage and Deal Feed API FAQ), checked on 27 September 2026. FMTC is a trademark of its owner; Feedico is not affiliated with FMTC. Prices change, so confirm on each vendor's site.
Side by side
| Feedico | FMTC | |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | Normalized coupons, deals, merchants and products from the networks you connect, via REST API, webhooks and dashboard. | A curated deal feed (and product feed) covering merchants across 22 affiliate networks, plus merchant and programme tools. |
| Where the data comes from | Your own network accounts, synced by API. Every row keeps its provider and programme. | FMTC's own database, which its team checks and cleans by hand. |
| Lowest price with API access | $15.99/mo (Starter, 50,000 requests). Free plan with 1,000 requests/mo. | Scale from $195/mo (MerchantSync API; Deal or Product Feed is extra, per merchant). |
| Full deal feed API | Every plan. Pro $49.99/mo adds product feed, delta endpoint and 500,000 requests. | Enterprise from $1,895/mo (1,000+ merchants included). |
| Refresh | Every 24h (Free) to every hour (Business); first sync runs right after you connect. | FMTC suggests incremental pulls every 30 minutes and a full pull every few hours. |
| Rate limits | Monthly request quota per plan (1,000 to 5,000,000). | 500 API calls per day; up to 150,000 deals per call. |
| Change feed | Signed webhooks from Starter; delta endpoint from Pro. | Incremental calls return deals added, changed or deleted since the last call. |
| Network approval | Needed for your own networks. Or skip it with the Managed Partner Program (ready catalogue, 65% revenue share). | You must join each programme to use its links. |
| Best for | Publishers and developers who want their own network data in one schema at SaaS prices. | Larger coupon sites that want an editor-curated feed and can pay enterprise pricing. |
The real difference: curated database vs your own network data
FMTC's value is its data team. Offers are collected into FMTC's database, checked and cleaned, and delivered as one feed. You still join each programme to use its links, and full API access to the feed sits on the Enterprise plan.
Feedico does not keep a separate editorial database. It connects to CJ, Awin, Impact, Partnerize, Admitad, TradeTracker and Takeads with your credentials, syncs on a schedule, and maps every network's fields into one schema. Each row keeps its provider and programme, so you can always trace a code back to the network that published it. The trade-off: you only see programmes you have joined, unless you use the Managed Partner Program, which gives you a ready catalogue and tracked links at a 65% revenue share.
Pick Feedico if
- you want API access without an enterprise contract
- you already have (or want) your own CJ, Awin or Impact accounts
- you need webhooks or a delta endpoint for incremental updates
- you publish on WordPress and want codes synced without writing code
- you have no network accounts yet and want a ready catalogue with revenue share
Pick FMTC if
- you want offers checked and cleaned by an editorial team
- you need networks Feedico does not support yet (FMTC lists 22)
- you have the budget for Enterprise-level feed pricing
- you also want FMTC's programme directory and merchant tools
Try Feedico before you decide
The Free plan connects one network with 1,000 API requests a month, enough to compare real output against any feed you use today. See the coupon API for request examples, the pricing page for plan limits, and the Black Friday coupon data tracker for what the catalogue looks like live.
Frequently asked questions
- Is Feedico a cheaper FMTC alternative?
- For API access, yes: Feedico's paid plans are $15.99, $49.99 and $99.99 per month, and every plan includes the coupon API. FMTC lists full Deal Feed or Product Feed API access on its Enterprise plan from $1,895 per month (checked 27 September 2026). The products are not identical: FMTC sells a hand-curated database, while Feedico normalizes the data from networks you connect.
- Does Feedico curate coupons by hand like FMTC?
- No. Feedico syncs offers from each network's API and normalizes them automatically: codes, dates, regions and merchant keys in one schema. Expired offers drop out on the next sync. If you need an editorial team to rewrite offer copy, FMTC's curated feed is the closer fit.
- Can I use Feedico without joining every affiliate network?
- Yes, through the Managed Partner Program: you publish a ready merchant and coupon catalogue with tracked links and receive 65% of the commission. If you prefer your own accounts, connect them and Feedico syncs them under your IDs.
- Which networks does Feedico support?
- CJ, Awin, Impact, Partnerize, Admitad, TradeTracker and Takeads, with more added on request. FMTC covers 22 networks, so check that the networks you care about are on Feedico's list first.
- Can I run both?
- Yes. Some publishers use a curated feed for their biggest merchants and Feedico for the long tail of programmes from their own network accounts. Both return JSON, so merging by merchant domain is straightforward.
