BatchData is a self-serve U.S. property intelligence platform with public Property Data API plans from $1,000/month, plus separate skip-trace and contact-enrichment product lines. Realie is an agent-native county public-records API — Free / $50 / $150 / $350 month-to-month, ~20 ms average, 180M+ addresses with nationwide U.S. county coverage, and agent-first MCP + CLI on self-serve keys — owner of record and mailing address fields, not phone skip-trace. Verify BatchData coverage, pricing, and latency on batchdata.io.
BatchData and Realie both offer developer-facing property APIs, but they optimize for different buyers. BatchData packages property records with investor-oriented contact enrichment, skip tracing, and outreach tooling — useful when your workflow includes matched phones and DNC scrubbing. Realie is built for agents and product teams that need normalized county assessor, recorder, and parcel data without a contact database — query via MCP or CLI from IDE copilots without custom glue. On published pricing, Realie’s $50/mo entry vs BatchData Property Data at $1,000/mo is a lower monthly floor; at ~100k parcels via search pagination (limit=100), Realie needs ~1,000 tokens ($50 tier) vs BatchData Growth at $1,000 — see batchdata-alternatives for the flagship comparison.

Where Realie goes deeper
Lower-cost public-records API for product teams
Realie normalizes county assessor, recorder, and parcel records into one API keyed on parcel ID: geometry, owner of record, mailing address, assessment, tax, transactions, mortgages, liens, and zoning. Self-serve plans are Free, $50, $150, and $350 per month with the same endpoints on every tier — no annual contract required to start.
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). Realie’s $50/mo entry is a lower monthly floor than BatchData Property Data ($1,000/mo). At ~100k parcels via search pagination (limit=100), ~1,000 successful requests fit Tier 1 ($50) vs BatchData Growth at $1,000 — see batchdata-alternatives for the flagship table.
Agent-native property data — not MCP as an afterthought
Realie publishes ~20 ms average — important for agentic loops that chain multiple tool calls.
Realie is agent-native: self-serve API keys work across REST, CLI, and MCP. Onboard agents via `/agents`, `/agents.md`, and `llms.txt`. Docs Mintlify MCP vs app `/api/mcp` — see docs.realie.ai for which surface matches your IDE workflow.
FCRA-safe scope — property research, not outreach databases
Realie provides county-published owner of record and mailing address for property research and analytics. It is not for FCRA-regulated credit, insurance eligibility, employment, or tenant screening — and Realie does not sell phone skip-trace or contact enrichment products.
Where BatchData goes deeper
Property Data API pricing and quotas
Property Data: Growth $1,000/mo (100k records), Professional $2,500 (300k), Scale $5,000 (750k), Enterprise $10,000 (3M). Effective $/record from published tiers: 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. Some older BatchData materials mention a Lite tier (~$500/mo / 20k records) — verify on the live pricing page.
Skip trace, contact enrichment, and investor lists
Separate skip-trace / contact enrichment product lines on batchdata.io/pricing — not included in Property Data base price. BatchData’s positioning skews toward investors and CRM outreach workflows. If you need matched phones, emails, DNC scrubbing, or litigator flags, evaluate those product lines directly — they are not substitutes for county public-records fields and they are priced separately from Property Data.
MCP, developer portal, and bulk delivery
Markets low latency / sub-second — no published ms benchmark; verify from your stack. BatchData markets an MCP server and publishes API docs at developer.batchdata.com (Stoplight), plus bulk delivery via S3, Snowflake, and SFTP. Realie ships MCP + CLI as first-class agent surfaces with public `agents.md` / `llms.txt` on the same self-serve API key — verify BatchData’s MCP scope and onboarding for your agent stack.
When to choose Realie vs BatchData
| Scenario | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| You need county public-records fields without buying skip-trace quotas | Realie — assessor/recorder/parcel API; no contact-enrichment stack required |
| Your workflow requires matched owner phones, emails, or DNC scrubbing | BatchData contact products — verify on batchdata.io/pricing; Realie does not provide skip-trace |
| Engineering needs a free-tier pilot this week under $100/month | Realie — production dataset on free tier; BatchData Property Data starts at $1,000/mo published |
| Latency-sensitive property lookups in a live request path | Realie — ~20 ms average; BatchData markets sub-second — verify from your infrastructure |
