HomeStats alternative
Curb Report vs HomeStats: deeper data, more tools, still free to start
HomeStats and Curb Report both turn free public housing data into a clean, verifiable dashboard, and HomeStats does it well as a fast weekly snapshot. Curb Report goes wider and deeper: 264+ time-series metrics, 8 Insight Scores, a custom chart builder with shareable links, a Chrome extension, and an AI Market Advisor across every state, county, and ZIP. If you want a free weekly read, HomeStats is great. If you want the broadest coverage and tools to actually work with the data, Curb Report is built for that.
More metrics and scores
264+ time-series metrics and 8 Insight Scores (crash risk, cap rate, affordability, and more), versus a leaner headline set and a single Market Score.
Tools to use the data
A custom chart composer with shareable links, a Chrome extension, an AI Market Advisor, rankings, and per-place pages, not just a static snapshot.
Free to start
A real free tier, then Starter at $19.99/mo and Pro at $39.99/mo. You can compare both tools without paying anything.

Where HomeStats is the better tool
Faster refresh
HomeStats updates weekly off Redfin data, so it can show a market turning before our monthly feeds do.
Free and frictionless
Completely free with no signup, no account, and no tracking. For a quick check with no login, it beats us on pure access.
Open data and listings
Bulk CSV/HTML/text export, a public JSON API, and a listing analyzer with upkeep and PITI estimates, things we do not offer.
The bottom line
HomeStats is a great free weekly snapshot with open data and a listing analyzer. Curb Report is the deeper workbench: far more metrics, 8 Insight Scores, saved and shareable charts, a Chrome extension, and an AI advisor, with a free tier so you can compare them side by side in minutes.
Frequently asked questions
Is HomeStats free?
Yes. Based on their site, HomeStats is fully free with no signup and no paid tier. Curb Report also has a free tier, plus optional Starter ($19.99/mo) and Pro ($39.99/mo) plans that unlock deeper tooling.
How often is HomeStats updated versus Curb Report?
HomeStats refreshes weekly, drawing on Redfin's weekly market data. Curb Report updates monthly from free public feeds (Redfin, Zillow, Realtor.com, Census, FHFA, HUD, FRED). If weekly cadence matters most, HomeStats leads there; if metric breadth and tooling matter more, Curb Report leads.
What does Curb Report offer that HomeStats does not?
Curb Report tracks 264+ time-series metrics plus 100+ headline metrics, 8 Insight Scores, a custom chart composer with shareable links, a Chrome extension, a built-in AI Market Advisor, rankings, and per-metric per-place pages. HomeStats focuses on a leaner headline set with a single Market Score and a crash-risk composite.
Do both cover my ZIP code?
Both go below the metro level. HomeStats advertises all 50 states, 3,000+ counties, and 18,000+ cities, and Curb Report covers state, county, and ZIP with a metro rollup and national view. Neither offers sub-ZIP or property-level market data.
Is this comparison fair to HomeStats?
We wrote this comparison ourselves from HomeStats' public site, so it reflects our reading of their product, not theirs. We concede honestly where HomeStats is the better tool: its weekly cadence, its fully free no-signup access, and its open export and API. If anything here is out of date, email us and we will correct it.
