Quick Answer
The best BatchData alternatives depend on whether you need skip-trace contact enrichment or county public-records property data. For normalized assessor, recorder, and parcel records without buying phone/email quotas, Realie is an agent-native alternative — Free / $50 / $150 / $350 month-to-month plans, ~20 ms average, and agent-first MCP + CLI on self-serve keys — owner of record and mailing address, not skip-trace. ATTOM, Regrid, and RentCast cover other niches; verify pricing and field scope on each vendor site.
Summary
BatchData is a strong fit when your workflow bundles property records with investor outreach — matched phones, emails, DNC scrubbing, and contact enrichment on batchdata.io/pricing. When your product needs parcel geometry, ownership, assessment, tax, transactions, liens, and zoning for analytics or in-app property context — without a contact database — Realie is the lower-cost self-serve alternative on published $/token economics. Enterprise brokers (ATTOM, CoreLogic/Cotality) remain options for negotiated bundles; Regrid leads on GIS-centric parcel boundaries; RentCast publishes per-request rental and property API tiers.
When BatchData is the right fit
Choose BatchData when skip-trace, contact match, DNC/litigator scrub, or investor buyer lists are core to your workflow — those capabilities are separate product lines on batchdata.io/pricing, not substitutes for county recorder fields alone.
Property Data: Growth $1,000/mo (100k records), Professional $2,500 (300k), Scale $5,000 (750k), Enterprise $10,000 (3M). Published Property Data $/record: Growth $0.010/record; Professional ~$0.0083; Scale ~$0.0067; Enterprise ~$0.0033 — floor $1,000/mo. Verify on batchdata.io/pricing (Property Data tab); skip-trace is a separate product line.
When to switch to Realie
Realie is an agent-native county public-records API for product and research workflows: parcel geometry, owner of record, mailing address, assessment, tax, sale history, mortgages, liens, and zoning across 180M+ addresses. Free (25 tokens/mo), $50 (1,250 tokens), $150 (6,000 tokens), $350 (30,000 tokens). Month-to-month; same endpoints on every tier; allowance shared Platform + API. 1 token = one successful API call (HTTP 200); 404/401/403 = 0. Allowance shared Platform + API. Search endpoints (property/search, location, owner): limit max 100, paginate with cursor — one 200 = 1 token whether the page has 1 or 100 properties. address/parcelId = 1 property per token. Overage: $0.15 / $0.05 / $0.025 / $0.012 on Free / $50 / $150 / $350 (realie.ai/pricing). Query from Cursor, Claude Code, or terminal agents via MCP and CLI without custom wrappers.
Realie is not a skip-trace, cold-calling, or contact-enrichment alternative — and not for FCRA-regulated credit, insurance eligibility, employment, or tenant screening.

Flagship comparison at 100,000 properties per month
Each vendor bills different units (tokens, records, API reports, calls). Compare monthly floor and volume scenarios — not a single mixed $/unit column. Verify competitor pricing before budgeting. One row per vendor — cheapest published plan that covers 100k properties/mo. Realie: ~1,000 tokens via search pagination at limit=100 (Tier 1 $50); BatchData Growth is $1,000/mo at this volume.
1 token = one successful API call (HTTP 200); 404/401/403 = 0. Allowance shared Platform + API. Search endpoints (property/search, location, owner): limit max 100, paginate with cursor — one 200 = 1 token whether the page has 1 or 100 properties. address/parcelId = 1 property per token. Overage: $0.15 / $0.05 / $0.025 / $0.012 on Free / $50 / $150 / $350 (realie.ai/pricing).
