Packet vs Retailed.io

Packet (pckt.sh) and Retailed.io both sell API access to product and price data from resale marketplaces and retailers. They overlap on StockX, GOAT, Chrono24, Nike and Shopify, but they're built for different jobs.

• Packet is a market data API for resale. It goes deep on sneaker and streetwear marketplaces: asks and bids per size, checkout prices with fees, and full sales history. Requests are cheap enough to poll prices at scale.
• Retailed.io is first a reselling app (inventory, sales and expense tracking) with a data API alongside it. Its API reaches more fashion and luxury retailers, and it builds scrapers for new sites on request.

Short answer: for StockX, GOAT and other resale marketplaces, especially sales history or high request volumes, Packet costs roughly 5 to 7 times less per request. If you need retailers like Zara, Zalando, Farfetch or Dior, or a custom scraper, Retailed.io covers sites Packet doesn't.

We make Packet, so read this with that in mind. Every figure about Retailed.io comes from its public pricing page and documentation, checked on 13 November 2026.

At a glance

Price per request

Both use credits, but the same credit buys a different amount of data. On Retailed.io, StockX endpoints cost 2 credits because they need JavaScript rendering; standard endpoints cost 1. On Packet, a live StockX or GOAT request costs 1 credit, and the cached catalog costs 0.4 credits.

Here's what a month of live StockX requests costs on comparable plans:

Two more differences add up over a few months:

• Credits. Retailed.io credits reset at the start of each billing period. Packet credits stay on your balance until you use them.
• Running out. On Packet, any plan can buy a top-up, and paid plans can turn on automatic refills. Retailed.io's pricing page doesn't list top-ups, so you'd move up a plan.

Where Retailed.io is ahead: rate limits per dollar. Its $49 plan allows 7 requests per second against 4 on Packet's $39 plan, and its top plans go up to 30. If you send small bursts of very few requests, that matters more than the cost per request.

StockX and GOAT data

Both APIs return StockX and GOAT products with per-size prices, and both accept a country and currency. The difference is depth.

If you're building a price tracker, an arbitrage tool or anything that charts prices over time, sales history is usually the deciding factor.
