Zillow API Pricing in 2026: A Complete Cost Comparison for Developers

If you're building with real estate data, one of the first questions is: how much will it cost? The answer depends on what data you need, how much of it, and which provider you choose. Some charge per API call. Others have monthly minimums in the hundreds. A few offer free tiers.

We compared pricing across every major option for accessing Zillow property data in 2026.

How much does the Zillow API cost?

Zillow's official API (Bridge Interactive) has no public sticker price — Bridge charges no service fee itself, and any cost is set by the MLS or data provider — but it requires MLS membership or approved-vendor status for listing data. For independent developers, self-serve Zillow-data APIs range from $0 (APIllow's free tier, 50 req/mo) to $0.003 per call, with ATTOM, Estated, and RapidAPI scrapers typically landing between $99 and $299/month for small production workloads.

Looking for background on why Zillow's public API is no longer available? That's covered in our Zillow API alternatives guide. This page focuses exclusively on cost.

Detailed Breakdown

APIllow

APIllow is designed for developers who need Zillow-specific data without enterprise complexity. Pricing is transparent and usage-based:

• Basic (Free): 50 requests/month, 5 req/min rate limit
• Pro ($9.99/mo): 3,333 requests/month ($0.003/request), 20 req/min
• Ultra ($29.99/mo): 10,000 requests/month ($0.003/request), 60 req/min
• Mega ($99.99/mo): 50,000 requests/month ($0.002/request), 120 req/min

Each request returns a full property record with 50+ fields including Zestimates, price history, tax records, schools, agent info, and comparable properties. No setup fee, no approval process, instant API key.

ATTOM Data

ATTOM is the enterprise standard for US property data. They aggregate from public records, MLS feeds, and tax assessors. Pricing starts at $95/month for 5,000 API calls.

ATTOM's strength is breadth: ownership records, mortgage data, foreclosures, environmental risk, and more. However, they don't include Zillow-specific data like Zestimates or Zillow listing details. If you need Zillow data specifically, ATTOM isn't the right fit. If you need public records data, it's best-in-class.

Estated

Estated provides property characteristics from county assessor records. At $0.10 per API call, it's one of the more expensive per-call options. Data includes basic property attributes (beds, baths, sqft, lot size, owner info) but lacks Zestimates, listing agents, and engagement metrics. Best for ownership lookups and property characteristics where Zillow-specific data isn't needed.

Bridge Interactive (Official Zillow)

Bridge Interactive is Zillow Group's official data platform, replacing the discontinued public Zillow API. Its cost structure is unusual: Bridge itself charges no service fee — any fees are set by the MLS or data provider — so there's no public "sticker price." What it actually requires is:

• MLS membership or approved-vendor status for MLS listing data (access at each MLS's discretion)
• A use-case review for Zillow's own datasets (Public Records, Zestimate), which are capped at 1,000 calls/day per dataset and are display-only — you can't store the data
• No published approval timeline; it varies by provider

This is the right choice if you're an MLS member or vendor building a licensed, MLS-connected platform. For everyone else, the membership requirement and the no-storage terms — not a monthly price — are what make it impractical. Full breakdown in the Bridge Interactive requirements guide.

RapidAPI Marketplace Scrapers

Several Zillow scraping APIs are available on RapidAPI, including APIllow. Pricing typically ranges from $0.002 to $0.01 per call. Popular options include HasData ($20/mo starter) and various Zillow scraper listings. The marketplace makes it easy to test multiple providers with unified billing, but quality and reliability vary significantly between providers.

Apify Zillow Scrapers

Apify is a web scraping platform that offers pre-built Zillow scrapers (called "actors"). You pay for platform credits ($49/mo minimum for useful volume). The per-result cost is around $0.002, but you also need to manage the scraper configuration and handle data parsing yourself. Good for technical users who want full control over the scraping process.

What Data Do You Actually Get?

Price per call only tells half the story. Here's what each provider includes in a single API response:

Two of those rows deserve a closer look if you work with off-market properties: sold data and price history are where providers differ most in practice. The Zillow sold data API guide shows exactly what last_sold_price, last_sold_date, and price_history look like in a real response — and why the sale date is the field most scrapers fail to deliver.

Which Provider Should You Choose?

Here's the decision framework:

• Just need Zillow data (Zestimates, listings, agents)? → APIllow. Cheapest, fastest setup, Zillow-specific.
• Need public records (ownership, mortgages, foreclosures)? → ATTOM. Enterprise-grade, broad coverage.
• Building an MLS-connected platform? → Bridge Interactive. Official, but enterprise-only.
• Want to compare providers before committing? → RapidAPI marketplace. Test multiple APIs side-by-side.
• Budget is the top priority? → APIllow (free tier) or Apify (cheap at scale, but DIY).

Zillow API rate limits

Zillow's legacy public API capped free usage at roughly 1,000 calls per day before it was discontinued in 2021. Current Zillow-data providers in 2026 set their own limits: APIllow allows 50 free requests/month and up to ~10 req/sec on paid plans; ATTOM and Estated enforce per-minute throttles tied to contract tier; Bridge Interactive is negotiated per-MLS.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a free Zillow API?

APIllow offers a free tier with 50 requests/month that includes all data fields — no credit card required. (Zillow's own public API was deprecated in 2021; see our Zillow API alternatives guide for the full access story.)

What's the cheapest way to get Zillow data at scale?

At high volume (50,000+ requests/month), APIllow's Mega plan at $99.99/month ($0.002/request) and Apify's scraper credits (~$0.002/result) are the most cost-effective options. APIllow is turnkey (REST API, no scraper management), while Apify requires more technical setup.

Do I need to pay for Zestimate data?

Yes. Zestimates are Zillow-proprietary and not available from public records providers like ATTOM or Estated. You need either Bridge Interactive (enterprise) or a Zillow-sourced API like APIllow to access Zestimate values. For how to fetch them and the field's behavior across listing statuses, see the Zestimate API guide.
