Reality Capture

Aerial reality-capture-as-a-service -- delivers frequently refreshed true-ortho imagery, DSM, and AI-extracted feature layers via REST APIs rather than requiring drone flights, though pricing is quote-based (RF1).

Alternatives in Site Intelligence & Geospatial Data

OpenTopography

NSF-funded nonprofit portal and REST API for accessing global DEMs (Copernicus, SRTM) and US LiDAR/3DEP topography. Provides RESTful web services (global DEM API + USGS 3DEP raster API) with rate-limited free API keys (200 calls/24h academic, 50/24h non-academic). US 3DEP 1m DEM access is restricted to academic users; commercial or intensive use requires a paid Enterprise API key.

4.0/5

ATTOM Data

US property data warehouse spanning 160M+ properties (~20TB) with ownership, tax, deed, mortgage, foreclosure, AVM, hazard, and boundary attributes. Delivered via a REST Property Data API (developer portal), bulk file licensing, cloud data shares (Snowflake/Databricks), and an AI-native MCP server. A self-serve free-trial API key with Postman collections eases developer onboarding; full licensing is quote-based.

3.8/5

Vexcel

Large-scale aerial imagery program (UltraCam) offering orthomosaic and oblique imagery, DSM/DTM elevation (Elevate product line), 3D mesh/point cloud, and property/structure metadata. Delivered via Vexcel APIs, Image Services for ArcGIS, WMTS, a MapControl SDK, and a first-party MCP server (launched July 2026) with find_imagery, get_3d_model, change_detection, and attribute_query tools. Quote/subscription; the MCP connector starts around $2,500 per ten-power-user seat per year.

3.6/5

Reonomy

Commercial real estate intelligence platform (an Altus Group business) aggregating 53M+ CRE properties, 68M+ transactions, ownership, debt, and contact data, and unmasking LLC/holding-company ownership. Delivered via a web app and a public REST API (api.reonomy.com). Self-serve subscription starts around $400/month on an annual plan; bulk feeds and API access are quote-based.
