The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Redfin listing fee of 1 percent is half the industry average but still deducted from seller proceeds; Reonomy pricing is not published, and the sales process has become more enterprise-focused since the Altus Group acquisition, which reportedly makes it less accessible for smaller, self-service buyers than it once was.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Redfin

  • Listing fee of 1 percent is half the industry average but still deducted from seller proceeds
  • No published fees for buyer services, rental listings, or specific service tiers
  • Maximum savings calculation based on combined purchase and sale, not guaranteed

Reonomy

  • Pricing is not published, and the sales process has become more enterprise-focused since the Altus Group acquisition, which reportedly makes it less accessible for smaller, self-service buyers than it once was.
  • It is a data and contact-sourcing tool, not a valuation platform, so firms needing DCF modelling still need ARGUS Enterprise or an equivalent separately, even though both are Altus Group products.
  • Coverage and data freshness for ownership and contact information vary by market, and off-market sourcing quality depends on how current that contact data actually is.
  • Shared ownership with ARGUS under Altus Group means a firm concentrating spend with both products has less independent competitive leverage across its CRE software and data budget.
  • As with any owner-contact database, deliverability and accuracy of contact information degrade over time, and there is no independent public benchmark of Reonomy data accuracy to check ahead of purchase.
