How HomeQuotr compares

Underwriting-Grade Data Without the Procurement Drama.

Enterprise-grade pricing data at a number you can approve in a single conversation, or run on a corporate card. Same shape of data the majors ship. Without the six-figure floor or the nine-month sales cycle.

Enterprise data incumbents

Verisk's Xactimate, CoreLogic, LexisNexis

HomeQuotr

Permit-anchored, productized for specialty payers

Pricing

$100K to $500K ACV. Annual contracts only.

$799 to $15K+ per month. Self-serve at Starter and Growth, corporate-card friendly.

Sales cycle

6 to 9 months. Procurement, legal, and security review before a single API call.

Days, not months. Starter signs in a Stripe checkout. Scale closes on a 30 minute call.

Data origin

Xactimate is contractor-self-reported and widely distrusted for bias.

Permit-anchored. Government records filed by the contractor with the city, arms-length from the contractor.

Underwriting fit

Generalist insurance analytics platform built for the largest carriers.

Productized for home warranty, mid-market MGAs, regional P&C, and solar financing.

Custom-tier deliverable

Custom data products start at six figures and ship on the vendor calendar.

The $15K+ Custom tier includes an actuarial review letter referencing the HomeQuotr methodology version your team filed against.

Citations and GEO

No public citation footprint. Data lives behind enterprise contracts.

Permit-anchored citations on every /[trade]/[city] page, indexed and quotable by AI search.

We are not trying to out-Verisk Verisk. We are giving the buyer the data Verisk priced themselves out of, in the shape an underwriter can actually use.

Common Questions

API Pricing Questions

Details on billing, data freshness, and getting started.

Can I try before I buy?

Yes. The Sandbox tier is free with 500 API calls per month against Dallas data. Corporate email required for signup (Gmail, ProtonMail, and disposable domains are blocked). Sandbox returns the same fields a Starter client sees, so you can prove the integration works before committing to a paid plan.

What happens if I exceed my monthly limit?

Usage alerts fire at 80% and 95% of your quota. If you hit 100%, billable calls pause until your next billing cycle or until you upgrade. Enterprise and Custom tiers have no monthly limit.

Can I upgrade or downgrade anytime?

Yes. Changes take effect at the start of your next billing cycle. No lock-in contracts, no cancellation fees.

Do you offer annual billing?

Yes. Pay for 10 months and get 12. Annual billing is available on Starter, Growth, Scale, and Enterprise tiers. Custom tier billing is contract-negotiated. The savings are reflected in your monthly rate.

What data formats does the API return?

JSON by default. Scale, Enterprise, and Custom tiers can also export bulk data in CSV format. Every response follows a consistent envelope with data and meta fields. The meta field carries the methodology version so your engineering team can pin a specific methodology for reproducibility.

How fresh is the data?

Top 17 metros by permit volume refresh weekly. All other metros refresh monthly. The meta.last_updated field in every response tells you exactly when the data was last processed.

Do you sign a DPA / MSA?

Yes. HomeQuotr signs a Data Processing Addendum and a Master Services Agreement at the Scale tier and above. Custom contracts and redlines are negotiated at the Custom tier ($15K+/month). Send the redlines to kevin@homequotr.com.

What's your security posture? Are you SOC 2?

HomeQuotr is pre-SOC-2; the audit kicks off post-launch. We are happy to complete vendor security questionnaires (CAIQ, SIG Lite, custom) and walk through our infrastructure posture today: managed Postgres on Supabase, hosting on Vercel, Cloudflare WAF + DDoS, Sentry monitoring, no consumer PII stored, only government-sourced building permit records. Full posture writeup available on request.

Where is data hosted? Can we get a redlined contract?

Data is hosted in U.S. regions (us-east-1) on managed infrastructure. Custom-tier customers can request redlines, multi-year terms, and net-30 / net-60 invoicing. Contact kevin@homequotr.com to start the procurement track.
