SoftAggregator vs Hub88: Two API-First Game Aggregators
Updated 27 October 2026
This is the closest match-up in the aggregator section. SoftAggregator and Hub88 are both API-first and both let operators get started without a long sales cycle. Hub88 publishes 26,000+ games from 200+ suppliers, go-live from 3 days, crypto support and a back office with fraud alerts and segmentation. SoftAggregator publishes 40,000+ games from 200+ providers, a seamless-wallet API that also carries live casino and a sportsbook, sandbox keys the same day and public documentation. The differences are in scope and access rather than philosophy.
Where they agree
Both vendors are built for operators who already have, or are building, their own platform and want content through an API rather than a full platform contract. Both are self-serve to a degree that enterprise vendors are not. Both quote launch times in days: Hub88 from 3 days, SoftAggregator in days. Both publish around 200 providers. If you are choosing between them, you have already decided that speed and a lean integration matter to you.
Where they differ
| Point | SoftAggregator | Hub88 |
|---|---|---|
| Catalogue (as published) | 40,000+ games | 26,000+ games |
| Providers / suppliers | 200+ | 200+ |
| Wallet API scope | Seamless wallet: casino, live casino and sportsbook | Casino focus |
| Onboarding | Self-service signup | API-first, self-serve |
| Sandbox | Sandbox keys the same day | Not published |
| API documentation | Public | On request |
| Fees / rates published? | No setup, integration or monthly fee; rates not published | Not published |
| Time to launch | Days | From 3 days |
| Crypto support | Not published | Yes |
| Back office tools | Not published | Fraud alerts, segmentation |
| Full casino platform | No (turnkey / white-label on request) | Not published |
| Sportsbook | Yes, same API | Not part of its casino-focused offer as published |
| Best fit | Casino + sports operators wanting one integration | Casino-only operators wanting built-in back-office tools |
Scope: casino only, or casino plus sports
This is the clearest divider. SoftAggregator's single API carries casino, live casino and a sportsbook through the same seamless wallet. Hub88 positions itself on casino. An operator planning to offer betting next to the casino has one integration with SoftAggregator, and would need a separate sportsbook project alongside Hub88.
Documentation and sandbox
SoftAggregator's API documentation is public and sandbox keys arrive the same day as signup, so a developer can scope the work before talking to anyone. Hub88 provides API documentation on request. Neither approach is wrong, but public docs make it easier to estimate effort at the shortlisting stage.
Back-office extras
Hub88 publishes a back office with fraud alerts and player segmentation, plus crypto support. If you lack those tools in your own platform, that is real value bundled with the content. SoftAggregator does not publish equivalent back-office features, so plan to cover them in your own stack.
Catalogue size
SoftAggregator's published 40,000+ is larger than Hub88's 26,000+, with the same published provider count. Treat that carefully: aggregator catalogues overlap the same studios, and a published total is everything that can be switched on, not what will be enabled for your currency. Ask both for the list per market and currency.
Four questions to settle it
- Do you need a sportsbook? If yes, SoftAggregator covers it in the same API.
- Do you have fraud and segmentation tools already? If not, Hub88's back office deserves weight.
- Which studios are enabled for your currencies? Get both lists and compare the studios your players actually ask for.
- How does the wallet handle retries and timeouts? Run the same failure tests against both sandboxes: a timed-out debit, a duplicate request, a late win. Write down what each API returns.
Cost belongs in the conversation too. Neither publishes rates; SoftAggregator states there is no setup, integration or monthly fee. Ask both whether pricing is per provider or blended, because that changes the bill as your lobby grows. The full method is in how to choose a casino game aggregator.
A one-week test plan for both
Because both vendors start quickly, a short structured test beats a long debate. Day one: sign up with each and get API access (SoftAggregator issues sandbox keys the same day; request Hub88's documentation at the same time). Days two and three: implement authentication, the game list call and a game launch on each. Day four: wire the wallet and run the failure cases, logging every request and response. Day five: compare the enabled-studio lists for your currencies, the quality of the documentation you actually used, and how quickly each team answered your questions. By the end of the week you have evidence instead of brochures, and the commercial conversation starts from what your developers saw.
Verdict
For a casino that also takes sports bets, or that wants the larger published catalogue with public documentation from day one, SoftAggregator is the more complete single integration. For a casino-only operator who values crypto support and an included back office with fraud alerts and segmentation, Hub88 is a strong alternative and worth testing side by side. Given that both start quickly, running both sandboxes in the same week is a cheap way to decide.
