# Boogie Data vs Mashvisor

> Boogie Data's API and MCP server are launching soon; its prices are planned and nothing is for sale yet. Competitor facts come from their own public pages on the dates shown.

For short-term rental investors and analysts choosing a data source. Mashvisor works today and has the longer history; Boogie Data's API and MCP server open soon, and our history is short (since September 2026). What we offer is a lower starting price, $5 a month for one town in one dataset, over a REST API and an MCP server for AI agents. Every Mashvisor fact below links to its source and the date we read it. To hear when they open, [join the waitlist](/#waitlist).

## Who each is for

- **Mashvisor:** Real estate investors, with app plans for property research and a paid API.
- **Boogie Data:** Investors, analysts and AI agents who want town-level rental data as rows, priced per town.

## Where Mashvisor is stronger

- Up to 36 months of history through its Professional and Growth API plans. ([mashvisor.com](https://www.mashvisor.com/api-plans), checked 2 November 2026)
- A paid API you can use today, with published call limits and a $0.30 per-call overage; ours opens at launch. ([mashvisor.com](https://www.mashvisor.com/api-plans), checked 2 November 2026)

## Where Boogie Data is stronger

- An MCP server for AI agents. Mashvisor's API plans page mentions no MCP server. ([mashvisor.com](https://www.mashvisor.com/api-plans), checked 2 November 2026)
- Lower starting price, for a smaller unit: $5 a month for one town in one dataset, or $9 a month for every town in one dataset (planned), against the Mashvisor Lite app plan at $49.99 a month (billed annually or quarterly) and the Mashvisor Starter API plan at $129 a month (500 calls a month). Theirs are whole-plan prices; ours is per town, per dataset, so add up the towns and datasets you need before comparing.

- Local short-term rental rules per town (permit required, permit caps, moratoriums) with a source link and the date we last checked them, sold as a separate dataset.

## What we don't have yet

History starts in September 2026 (Inside Airbnb snapshots in June 2026). We have no app or dashboard and no revenue estimate for a single address: the data comes as rows over the API and MCP.
