Updated November 2, 2026. Independent editorial; how we research.
ATTOM is a national property data provider covering 160M+ US properties: ownership, deeds and mortgages, foreclosures, assessor records, building permits, boundaries, schools and neighborhood data, plus an AVM, a rental AVM, comparable sales and hazard and default-propensity analytics. It sells through a property data API with a 30-day free trial, bulk file licensing, Snowflake and Databricks shares and an MCP server. The reasons people look at alternatives are mostly commercial and practical. Pricing is unpublished and negotiated per license, bulk delivery is built for enterprise scale, and the value depends on engineering time to integrate the data. Buyers who only need one slice, such as parcel geometry, owner contacts, rents or valuations, end up licensing breadth they will not use.
Decide which slice of ATTOM you rely on before comparing. If it is the full record set at national scale, the realistic alternatives are the other enterprise data houses. If it is owner contact data for outreach, a vendor that bundles skip tracing will cost less per usable record. If it is parcel boundaries and zoning, a parcel-first dataset fits better. If your team wants answers on screen rather than a data feed, a parcel search application can replace the integration project. And for rent and value estimates on residential deals, a self-serve API with published per-call pricing is the fastest start.

Property data, valuation models and risk analytics for real estate, mortgage and insurance. Formerly CoreLogic.
Why pick it over ATTOM: Cotality, formerly CoreLogic, is the peer at the same scale: property, ownership, mortgage, market and climate risk data and AVMs, with its Araya platform covering 99.9% of US properties from 22K+ sources and an MCP server for licensed customers. It suits lenders, insurers and large data teams that want one enterprise vendor for records, valuations and risk. Like ATTOM it is quote-based, and contracts are negotiated across a broad product suite.
Property research from First American - data on 99% of US housing stock and 5.5B+ recorded document images.
Why pick it over ATTOM: DataTree, from First American Data & Analytics, is the alternative for title, lending and due diligence teams that need the documents behind the data: property records on 99% of US housing stock and more than 5.5 billion recorded document images covering deeds, mortgages, assignments, lien releases and foreclosures. It replaces ATTOM's ownership and transaction research rather than its analytics layer. Pricing is quote-based, and it leans toward title and residential research more than CRE modeling.
Bulk property data and APIs: ownership, AVMs, mortgages, permits, skip tracing, and contact enrichment.
Why pick it over ATTOM: BatchData is the choice when the slice of ATTOM you use is owners and contacts at volume. It combines property, assessor, mortgage, permit, pre-foreclosure, listing and AVM data with skip tracing and contact enrichment, delivered by real-time API or in bulk to S3, Snowflake or flat files. It publishes pricing: property data from $1,000 a month for 100,000 records up to $10,000 for 3,000,000, and skip tracing from $2,000 a month. No trial is listed, and coverage is primarily residential.
Standardized nationwide parcel data - boundaries, buildings, zoning, ownership - via API, bulk files, and apps.
Why pick it over ATTOM: Regrid replaces ATTOM's boundary data with a parcel-first dataset: 100% of US parcels in one standardized schema, with matched building footprints, standardized zoning and daily ownership updates as add-ons, delivered by API, tiles, an Esri feature service, bulk files or MCP. Self-serve monthly API plans and county or state downloads make it easy to start small, with enterprise licensing above 10,000 records a month. It has no deeds, mortgages or AVMs, so it complements ATTOM's transaction data rather than replacing it.
Commercial property data and workflows: parcels, structures, zoning, true owners and environmental due diligence, via apps, APIs and bulk data.
Why pick it over ATTOM: LightBox is the commercial-leaning data alternative: parcels, structures, zoning, land use and true-owner records linked by the LightBox ID, delivered as bulk data, APIs, GIS feature services, Snowflake or MCP, alongside EDR environmental due diligence and the LightBox Live deal workspace. It suits CRE lenders, brokers and investors who want commercial workflows around the data. Pricing is quote-based and the sales process is enterprise-shaped.
AI parcel search with two-level zoning, owner contacts and exports across 150M+ US parcels.
Why pick it over ATTOM: Plotzy fits ATTOM buyers whose real need is finding parcels and owners rather than licensing a feed. It searches 150M+ parcels across 3,200+ counties by permitted use, lot size, land use, assessed value, owner type and sale date, with two-level zoning on every parcel, owner contact lookup and CSV export, at $180 to $300 a month with a 7-day trial and no credit card. It has no deeds, mortgage, comps or AVM data, owner contacts are metered, it is still labeled beta, and API access is only on the custom Scale plan, so it is not a bulk data replacement.
Rent estimates, comps, market trends, and portfolio tracking for US rental properties, free to start.
Why pick it over ATTOM: RentCast is the budget API: 150M+ property records with owner details, value and rent estimates, sales and rental comps, active listings and market trends across 38,000+ zip codes, plus an MCP server. The Developer plan is free for 50 calls a month, and paid plans run $74 to $449 a month for 1,000 to 25,000 calls. It is built for residential and rental use, and per-call pricing gets expensive at the volumes where a bulk license makes sense.
ATTOM does not publish prices. API, bulk and cloud licenses are quoted per use case and volume. You can test the property data API with a free 30-day trial key and explore datasets in ATTOM Nexus before talking to sales.
RentCast has a free Developer plan with 50 calls a month and paid plans from $74 a month for 1,000 calls. Regrid offers self-serve monthly API plans for parcel data and a 30-day API sandbox.
BatchData publishes monthly prices by record volume, from $1,000 a month for property data. RentCast publishes per-call API plans. Plotzy publishes $180 and $300 monthly plans for its parcel search application. Cotality, DataTree and LightBox are quote-based like ATTOM.
LightBox is the strongest commercial data alternative, with zoning, true-owner data and environmental due diligence. If your team wants to search parcels by zoning and contact owners without building an integration, Plotzy covers that in an application, though it has no deed, mortgage or comps data.
