PropStream alternatives
PropStream alternatives, ranked by who they actually suit
PropStream publishes its prices, which is more than most of this category does: $99 a month for Essentials, $199 for Pro, $699 for Elite, with skip tracing at 12 cents a contact and postcards from 57 cents. This page gives you that rate card in full, the reasons people go looking for something else, and five alternatives with an honest note on who each one is for. We make one of the five. It is fifth, because for most people arriving here it is the wrong answer and we would rather say so than waste your afternoon.
Pricing and product details checked August 2026. Every PropStream figure on this page is quoted from propstream.com/pricing, read in August 2026, not estimated. BatchLeads and DealMachine figures come from their own published pricing pages, read the same day. Propwire does not serve its pages to automated requests, so its figures are third-party reported and labelled as such. PropertyRadar publishes no rate card we have been able to verify, so this page prints no price for it rather than guessing. Vendor pricing moves; check theirs before deciding anything on the strength of ours. Check the official PropStream pricing page. Plotbook is one of the products listed below, so read this as an interested party’s survey and check it against theirs.
The short version
If you only read one box
PropStream is a good product and most people looking for an alternative are really looking for a lower bill. If that is you, the honest first stop is a free database rather than a cheaper paid one. If you are leaving because the product does not answer your question rather than because of the price, the right replacement depends entirely on what the question became.
- You want to stop paying and keep the property data
- Propwire. Core search is reported free, no card, around 157 million records.
- You need mail and calling attached to the list
- BatchLeads, from $119 a month for 10,000 leads, with a dialer add-on at $89.
- You work in the field and need real integrations
- DealMachine, from $99 per seat with 10,000 data credits, plus API, webhook and Zapier on every tier.
- You stopped caring about the property and started caring about the owner
- Plotbook, from $79 a month. This is a different job, not a cheaper PropStream.
The actual numbers
What PropStream costs
Quoted from their published pricing page in August 2026. Annual billing is cheaper per month on every tier, and the saves and exports allowance is the number that usually decides which plan you are on.
Essentials
$99/mo, or $81/mo billed annually ($972/yr)
25,000 monthly saves and exports
Pro
$199/mo, or $165/mo billed annually ($1,980/yr)
50,000 monthly saves and exports, 2 team members
Elite
$699/mo, or $583/mo billed annually ($6,996/yr)
100,000 monthly saves and exports, 9 team members
- Property records
- Over 160 million public records, plus MLS listings
- Skip tracing
- $0.12 per contact as an add-on on Essentials and Pro
- Direct mail
- From 57 cents per postcard on all tiers
- Analysis tools
- Comps, fix and flip analyzer, rental ROI calculator, all tiers
- Free trial
- 7 days with 50 free leads
- Rollover
- None. Unused saves and exports reset each month.
The rollover line is the one that catches people out, and it is PropStream's own wording: unused saves and exports do not carry over, so a quiet month is money spent on nothing. If your usage is uneven rather than low, that alone can be the reason a plan feels expensive without your volume ever justifying a downgrade.
Why people look
The four reasons people go looking
Worth being precise about which one is yours, because three of the four are solved by a different product and one of them is not solved by switching at all.
- 01
The bill outgrew the usage
Far and away the most common. The plan was sized for a busy quarter, the volume dropped, and nothing rolls over. Before switching, check whether a downgrade to Essentials at $99 fixes it, because a smaller plan on a product you already know beats a lateral move to something you do not.
- 02
You want to test whether property data helps at all
If you are not sure the data is worth any monthly fee, do not pay one. A free database answers that question for nothing, and you can come back to a paid tool once you know what you actually need from it.
- 03
You need the contacting attached to the list
PropStream includes direct mail from 57 cents and skip tracing at 12 cents, but no dialer. If calling at volume is the workflow, a platform built around mail and dialing together removes a step and usually a second subscription.
- 04
The question changed from property to person
The one that is not a pricing problem. If you have started asking who the owner is, what they do, and what they are worth, no amount of property data answers it, because none of these platforms model the owner as a person. That is a different category and it is the only reason Plotbook belongs on this page at all.
The options
Five alternatives, and who each one is for
Ordered by how well each replaces PropStream for the job PropStream is usually bought to do, which is sourcing property. Every entry names its own drawbacks, including ours, and ours is last for a reason we explain below.
- 01
Propwire
A free nationwide property search built for investors, reported at around 157 million records including MLS and off-market listings.
- Best for
- Anyone whose real problem is the monthly bill, and anyone testing whether property data is useful to them at all.
- Price
- Core search reported free, no card. Skip tracing reported at around $0.10 per trace.
Strengths
- Costs nothing for the core search, which no paid alternative can answer
- Reported record count is in the same range as PropStream's
- Includes comps, lead alerts, and deal signals such as pre-foreclosure and vacancy
- Cheaper skip tracing than PropStream's 12 cents, as reported
Where it stops
- Nothing here is first-party: Propwire does not serve its pages to automated requests
- Third-party reviews disagree on whether free downloads are capped at 10,000 a month
- Reviews consistently report data being less current than established paid platforms
- A free product carries no commitment to stay free
- 02
DealMachine
A driving for dollars and acquisition platform priced per seat, with a large data credit allowance and published developer access.
- Best for
- Teams that work in the field, and anyone who needs this data inside another system rather than in a browser tab.
- Price
- Basic $99 per seat per month with 10,000 data credits; Pro $149 per seat with 20,000; Scale $599 for 100k records and 10 seats.
Strengths
- API, CLI, webhook and Zapier access published on every tier
- 10,000 data credits per seat at the entry price
- Mature driving for dollars app, and it runs on Android as well as iPhone
- Mail app with pay-as-you-go postcards on all plans
- SSO, SAML, custom SLAs and a security review on the Scale plan
Where it stops
- Priced per seat, so a small team costs more than a single flat subscription
- No wealth or owner-profile layer, same as every option here except the last
- Their published pricing page does not itemise skip tracing, so per-trace cost is unclear
- 03
BatchLeads
List building, skip tracing, direct mail and an AI dialer in one platform, sold in monthly lead allowances.
- Best for
- High-volume outreach operations that want the list and the contacting in the same product.
- Price
- Growth $119/mo for 10,000 leads and 20,000 exports; Professional $349; Scale $749. Dialer AI add-on $89/mo. Annual billing advertised at 40% less.
Strengths
- 10,000 leads and 20,000 exports at the entry price
- MLS data and comparables included on all plans
- Dialer and direct mail available in the same product
- 3 users on the entry plan, 8 on Professional
Where it stops
- Entry price is higher than PropStream Essentials, so this is not a way to spend less
- The dialer is an $89 add-on rather than included
- Built for outreach volume, which makes it a poor fit in regulated contexts
- 04
PropertyRadar
Property and owner data with list monitoring, long established and strongest in its original California market.
- Best for
- People who want saved lists that alert them when a property's status changes, rather than one-off searches.
- Price
- No published rate card we have been able to verify. We print no figure rather than estimate one.
Strengths
- List monitoring and alerting rather than manual re-searching
- Long track record in the category
- Property and owner data in one place
Where it stops
- We hold no sourced pricing, feature list, or record count for this vendor
- Everything above is at the level the vendor publicly presents about itself
- Treat this entry as a pointer to go and look, not as a comparison
- 05
Plotbook
This is usA map of US property colored by assessed value, with an AI agent that names the person behind an entity-held deed and estimates their wealth in ranges.
- Best for
- Advisors, fundraisers and luxury agents who stopped asking what the property is and started asking who owns it. Not a replacement for deal sourcing.
- Price
- Starter $79/mo with 750 credits; Professional $199/mo with 2,500; Enterprise $499/mo with 8,000. 7-day trial with 100 credits.
Strengths
- Names the human behind an LLC, trust, or estate deed, with anonymity-state handling
- Four-band wealth estimate on the owner, as ranges with a confidence score
- A visible research timeline showing every source, which survives a reload
- Research charged only when it succeeds; institutional owners never charged
- Map shaded by assessed value, free to browse on every plan
Where it stops
- No MLS data, no comparables, no equity, mortgage, lien or distress data, and no filter for any of it
- No direct mail, no dialer, no sequences, and no API or CRM integration of any kind
- Far worse per-record economics than anything else on this list
- US only, and the field app is iPhone only on iOS 16.4 or later
Why Plotbook is number 5 on a list we wrote. Someone searching for a PropStream alternative is nearly always sourcing property, and for that job Propwire, DealMachine, BatchLeads and PropertyRadar are all closer replacements than Plotbook. Plotbook has no MLS data, no comps, no distress signals, and per-record economics an order of magnitude worse. It belongs on the page because one of the four reasons people leave is that their question changed from property to owner, and it belongs last because the other three reasons are far more common.
Should you stay
Is PropStream still worth it
For sourcing property, yes, and it is worth saying that plainly on a page like this. Over 160 million public records with MLS, comps, a fix and flip analyzer, a rental ROI calculator, and a map with parcel boundaries is a lot of product for $99 a month, and the rate card being published at all puts it ahead of most of the wealth-data category, where five-figure contracts are quoted only on a call.
The case against is almost always shape rather than quality. Saves and exports do not roll over, so uneven usage is punished. Skip tracing and mail are billed on top of the subscription, so the real monthly figure is higher than the plan price. And the whole product is built around finding property, which means that if your question has quietly become who the owner is, more filters will not get you there.
The switch worth making carefully is the last one, because it is the only one where a cheaper or a richer property database does not help. Everything else on this page is a lateral move, and a lateral move you regret costs more than the subscription you were trying to escape.
Stay with PropStream if
- You are sourcing property and the plan roughly matches your monthly volume
- You use the comps, the flip analyzer, or the rental ROI tooling
- You need MLS data, which two of the alternatives here do not carry
- Your usage is high and steady, which is exactly what the pricing rewards
Look elsewhere if
- You are on Pro or Elite and consistently use a fraction of the allowance
- You want to find out whether property data helps before paying anything
- You need a dialer and are paying for a second subscription to get one
- You have started asking who the owner is rather than what the property is
