| Provider and source | Useful for | Price and key limits |
|---|---|---|
| ATTOM | Broad property-data integrations | Basic Property API from $500/month; Premium pricing is customized Pre-foreclosure data is listed under Premium. The Basic starting price is not a foreclosure-data quote; confirm the required endpoints and license. |
| BatchData | Higher-volume property search and enrichment | Property Data Growth lists $1,000/month for up to 100,000 records, with annual commitment Compare commitments, included pre-foreclosure fields, add-ons, and allowed use. A higher-volume plan can have a lower unit cost than a smaller subscription. |
| Foreclosure Data Hub | Foreclosure research and smaller internal API workflows | Starter $29/month; Pro with retail API $49/month; commercial licensing from $200/month Starter excludes the API. Retail API is for internal use, with shared delivered-row allowances. Customer-facing products need a separate commercial license; county inventory varies. |
| Foreclosure.com | Browsing distressed-property listings | FAQ lists $9.95/week billed monthly ($39.80), after a 7-day preview The vendor reports daily updates. Confirm checkout pricing, local inventory, export rights, and any API or commercial needs directly; a browsing subscription is not an API license. |
| PropStream | Broader investor research and outreach workflows | Essentials $99/month or $972/year ($81/month equivalent) Annual pricing requires an annual payment. Essentials lists 25,000 monthly saves and exports; compare the full workflow, add-ons, and local data rather than subscription price alone. |
Compare cost per usable record
FDH Pro costs $49/month with 10,000 delivered rows shared across exports and retail API. If the entire allowance is used through the API, the subscription cost is $0.0049 per delivered row. At 1,000 rows it is $0.049 per row. These are arithmetic examples, not per-row billing, unique-property counts, or promises about the number of matching records.
For a customer-facing app, start with commercial licensing. Compare its call quota with competitors' record-based quotas; one API call and one delivered record are not interchangeable. Check endpoints and county samples before committing.
Frequently asked questions
What is FDH's lowest-priced plan with API access?
Pro is $49/month for internal research and includes 10,000 delivered rows shared across CSV, Sheets, and retail API. Starter at $29/month does not include the API. Customer-facing use requires a separate commercial license from $200/month.
Is the lowest subscription price always the cheapest API?
No. Compare required fields, matched records, delivered rows versus API calls, annual commitments, minimum spend, overages, storage rights, and redistribution rights. A plan with a larger monthly fee can cost less at your usage volume.
Does ATTOM's Basic API starting price include pre-foreclosure data?
ATTOM's published comparison lists pre-foreclosure data under Premium, whose pricing is customized. Request pricing for the specific foreclosure fields and license; the Basic starting price is not an equivalent quote.
