A Mashvisor alternative built on market fundamentals
Mashvisor is a rental-analytics tool: it is strongest when you already know roughly where you want to buy and you want per-property rental math, especially for short-term rentals. Curb Report answers the question one step earlier, which market, using 100+ housing metrics across 3,000+ counties and 26,000+ ZIP codes.
Where the two overlap is cap rate and cash flow. Where Curb Report goes further is risk: a dedicated crash-risk score, a 12-month price forecast, climate and hazard exposure, and the true carrying cost of owning in that market. Free to start, $19.99/mo for the paid tier.
Market-first, not property-first
Screen all 3,000+ counties by cash flow, cap rate, crash risk or forecast before you commit to a market. Rental tools generally start after that decision is made.
Risk you can actually see
Crash risk, climate and hazard exposure, property tax and carrying cost sit next to the yield number, so a high cap rate that comes with high downside is visible rather than hidden.
A real free tier
65 metrics across every county and ZIP with no card and no trial clock. You can evaluate the data before deciding whether it is worth paying for.

Where Mashvisor is the better choice
We wrote this page, so treat the table above accordingly. Here is where Mashvisor genuinely wins, and where you should pick it over us.
Short-term rental and Airbnb revenue
Mashvisor models Airbnb occupancy, nightly rate and STR revenue at the property level. Curb Report does not carry short-term-rental data at all. If your strategy is STR, Mashvisor answers a question we do not.
Address-level rental comps
Mashvisor produces per-property rental comps. Curb Report's rent data is market-level (ZIP and county), so for underwriting one specific door you will still want a comps source.
Questions
Is Curb Report a good Mashvisor alternative?
For choosing a market, yes. Curb Report covers 3,000+ counties and 26,000+ ZIPs with 100+ metrics including cap rate, cash flow, a 12-month price forecast and a crash-risk score, starting free and $19.99/month paid. For short-term-rental revenue modelling on a specific property, Mashvisor does something Curb Report does not do at all.
Does Curb Report do Airbnb or short-term rental analysis?
No. Curb Report has no short-term-rental data. Our rental metrics are long-term and market-level, drawn from Zillow's rent index and HUD fair market rents. If STR is your strategy, use a tool built for it.
Can Curb Report analyze a specific property?
Yes, through Curb Check: paste a Zillow or Redfin listing URL and it returns gross yield, cap rate and cash-on-cash, grounded in that county's cost data including property tax, insurance estimate and crash risk. It is market-contextualized property math rather than a full rental comp set.
How much does Curb Report cost?
There is a genuinely free tier covering 65 metrics across every U.S. county and ZIP with no card required. Starter is $19.99/month and Pro is $39.99/month. Check Mashvisor's site for their current pricing, since plans change on both sides.
Is this comparison biased?
Curb Report wrote it, so yes, read it with that in mind. We have tried to describe Mashvisor accurately from public information and we have said plainly above where it beats us. If anything here is wrong or out of date, tell us and we will correct it.
