Enterprise dashboards or
a developer API.
Realyse builds analytics dashboards for institutional property investors. Homedata gives developers raw API access to the same underlying UK property data: self-serve, pay-as-you-go pricing, no enterprise contract.
Pay as you go: 100 tokens = £1, no subscription needed. A monthly subscription earns up to 75% bonus tokens. No sales call, no contract.
What is realyse?
Realyse is a UK property analytics platform targeted at institutional investors, build-to-rent operators, and housing funds. Their product is a set of pre-built dashboards covering portfolio analytics, market trends, and BTR/PRS asset management.
Realyse does not offer a public API. Access requires a demo call, a sales conversation, and an enterprise contract. Pricing is custom and not published.
Homedata covers the same underlying property dataset (EPC, sold prices, council tax, flood risk, property characteristics, planning, schools, broadband) via a self-serve REST API. If you're building a product that needs property data, Homedata is the developer-first alternative.
Homedata: build with data
REST API. JSON responses. 16 endpoints. Instant self-serve signup. Pay as you go, 100 tokens = £1, no subscription needed, no sales call, no onboarding process. Built for developers who need to integrate UK property data into their own products, not view someone else's dashboard.
- ✓ Self-serve signup in 2 minutes
- ✓ Transparent pricing: pay as you go, 100 tokens = £1
- ✓ REST API with interactive docs
- ✓ Python / JS / cURL examples for every endpoint
Realyse: pre-built dashboards
Enterprise analytics platform for institutional property investors. Pre-built dashboards for market analysis, portfolio risk, and BTR/PRS asset management. No public API, no self-serve signup, no free tier. Access requires a demo call with their enterprise sales team and a custom contract.
- • Demo call required to access
- • Custom enterprise pricing (no public rates)
- • Dashboard product, not developer API
- • Designed for institutional investors

When to choose each
Choose Homedata if you need…
-
API access to raw UK property data for your own product
You're building something: a portal, an AVM, a compliance tool, a CRM enrichment pipeline. You need the data, not someone else's dashboard.
-
Pay as you go to prototype before committing
Your first payment is matched 100%. No sales call, no commitment, no subscription needed.
-
Transparent, predictable pricing
100 tokens = £1, most calls 1 token, every weight published. Know your cost before you write a line of code.
-
Multiple data types in one integration
Address, EPC, risk, listings, schools, comparables, planning: one API key, one invoice, one integration to maintain.
-
Self-serve access right now
Sign up, get your API key, make your first call: in the time it takes to read this sentence.
Choose realyse if you need…
-
Pre-built market analytics dashboards
You want to click around a platform rather than integrate an API. Realyse's dashboards are designed for analysts, not developers.
-
BTR/PRS portfolio risk analytics
Realyse is purpose-built for build-to-rent and private rented sector institutional operators who want portfolio risk views.
-
Dedicated enterprise support and onboarding
Large institutions that need hand-holding, dedicated success managers, and custom data delivery tend to go enterprise-only.
-
No engineering team
If you have no developers and can't integrate an API, Realyse's no-code dashboards may suit better. Homedata requires code.
What Homedata has that realyse doesn't via API
Schools API
Schools within a radius of a property in England: name, phase, type, pupil numbers, straight-line distance. From the DfE GIAS register (over 27,000 open establishments in England). Critical for family relocation, mortgage, and insurance products. Realyse has no school data.
Council tax annual cost
Council tax band plus annual and monthly amounts from the VOA, not just the band letter. Useful for tenancy platforms, insurance underwriting, and letting agent tools. Realyse doesn't offer this.
Live listing events
Price changes, days on market, and status updates for market monitoring and alert pipelines. Realyse covers some of this in dashboards but not as a raw API.
Planning applications
300+ LPAs, nearly 4M applications with full-text search, decision status, and documents. For conveyancing, due diligence, and property intelligence platforms. Homedata is one of the few UK APIs offering this at scale.
Solar assessment
Solar potential, estimated panel count, roof orientation, and installation data. For energy efficiency products, mortgages, and home improvement platforms. Realyse has no solar endpoint.
Deprivation index
Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) for any postcode or LSOA in England: income, employment, education, health, crime, housing, and access scores. Useful for underwriting, local authority analytics, and investment risk models.
Transparent pricing, no enterprise contract required
Realyse doesn't publish pricing. Homedata does: 100 tokens = £1, pay as you go. Top up any amount, or add tokens monthly and earn bonus tokens: change the amount or stop any time.
