Yes. Realie offers a free tier with no long-term contract and no mandatory sales call: sign up, add a payment method in Billing, generate an API key under Usage > API access, and start querying the same endpoints paid plans use.
Most enterprise property data vendors gate evaluation behind a sales process and an annual contract, which means you commit before you know whether the data fits your use case. Realie inverts that. The free tier includes 25 tokens per month and exposes the full production dataset — the same endpoints, the same fields, the same nationwide coverage. You can validate coverage in your specific counties, check the fields you actually need, and benchmark latency from your own infrastructure before spending anything. If it works, paid self-service starts at $50/month and you can upgrade or stop at any time.
Spend the free allowance deliberately. Pick the counties that matter most to your product and check field-level completeness there rather than sampling nationally — coverage is rarely uniform, and the counties you care about are the only ones whose quality affects you.
Then test the paths you will actually use in production: address lookup if you work from addresses, parcel ID if you work from APNs, owner search if you are doing portfolio work. Benchmark from your own infrastructure, and confirm the licence permits what you intend to build.
Create an account, add a payment method in Billing to enable API access, and copy your key from Usage > API access. Authenticate by sending it as a Bearer token in the Authorization header, then call the endpoint matching the identifier you hold — address, parcel ID, owner name, or coordinates with a radius.
If you would rather not write HTTP calls to start, the Realie CLI supports a --json flag for piping into other tools, and the MCP server connects the dataset straight into IDE agents such as Claude, Cursor, and VS Code.
Check three things beyond the absence of a signature. First, whether the trial exposes production data or a reduced sample — a demo dataset tells you very little. Second, whether you can leave without penalty. Third, what happens to data you already retrieved if you stop paying.
With Realie, self-service plans are month to month, the free tier is the real dataset, and you never need to speak to anyone to begin. Enterprise terms and bulk licensing are the only paths that involve sales.
