Is Plotbook a Wealth-X alternative?

For finding people, yes. For researching people who are already documented, no. Wealth-X is a curated library of dossiers on the global ultra-wealthy, built by human analysts, and nothing we do approaches that depth on a person who is already in it. Plotbook is a way to produce a name from a property when no dossier exists, which is most of the time in most American markets.

Why does the wealth tier matter so much in this comparison?

Because it decides whether the people you want are in the product at all. Wealth-X concentrates on the very top of the wealth distribution, where a curated global library is feasible. Most independent advisory practices are prospecting households between one and thirty million dollars, a tier that is far too large and far too undocumented to curate. Property data covers that tier because the county already records every parcel, regardless of whether the owner is notable.

Does Plotbook work outside the United States?

No. Plotbook is US-only and parcel-bound. The parcel data is nationwide coverage from Regrid across 150M+ parcels, and there is no international equivalent in the product. If your prospects hold property abroad, Wealth-X covers ground we simply do not.

How does Plotbook estimate wealth without human analysts?

It combines what the research run found with the property record: the parcel's assessed value and use type, other properties the person is recorded as owning, their employer and role, and residential records. An AI model turns that into four ranges, net worth, income, investible assets, and total assets. They are always ranges rather than a figure, and they carry a confidence score about the identification itself. There is no account, holdings, or filing data behind them, and no analyst reviewing them. That is a real difference from a Wealth-X assessment and we would rather state it than blur it.

What does Wealth-X cost?

They do not publish pricing. It is sold on enterprise contracts with a dossier credit system, and we are not going to print a number we cannot source. Plotbook publishes its own: $79 per month for Starter, $199 for Professional, $499 for Enterprise, with 750, 2,500, and 8,000 credits, and roughly 20% off annually. A 7 day trial with 100 credits is enough to test the whole workflow.

Can Plotbook find people Wealth-X does not have?

Routinely, and that is the reason to look at it. Any owner of any US parcel is reachable, whether or not they have ever appeared in press, filings, or a research library. The research agent starts from the deed. What Plotbook cannot do is match a Wealth-X dossier on someone who already has one.

Plotbook vs Wealth-X

Wealth-X knows who is already famous

Wealth-X employs a large team of research analysts to hand-build dossiers on the global ultra-high-net-worth: source of wealth, philanthropic history, interests, family, board seats. For a named billionaire it is the best product on earth. But it is a closed library. If the person you are looking at has never been researched by an analyst, Wealth-X has nothing, and most of the wealth in your county has never been researched by anyone. Plotbook starts from the opposite end: it does not know who matters, it knows who owns this.

The short answer

This is a question of altitude

Wealth-X is built around individuals with reported fortunes at the very top of the distribution, curated globally. Plotbook is built around US residential property, which means it reaches people whose wealth is real, local, and completely undocumented by any analyst. Most independent advisors serve households well below the threshold Wealth-X is designed for, which makes the choice less about quality than about whether the people you want are inside the library at all.

Plotbook

Pick Plotbook if your prospects are local and unlisted

The households you serve hold between one and thirty million dollars, which is below the altitude Wealth-X is built for.
Your prospects are business owners, developers, and long-tenured property holders that no research analyst has ever profiled.
You work a defined US geography and want to see it, parcel by parcel.
You need the owner behind an LLC-held deed, which is a property question rather than a biography question.
You want to start on a card this week rather than negotiate an annual contract.

Wealth-X

Pick Wealth-X if you are researching named individuals

You already have a name and need depth on them: source of wealth, philanthropy, family, affiliations, interests.
Your work is genuinely global rather than confined to US property.
You are a private bank, a family office, or a luxury brand where a small number of very large relationships is the whole business.
You want a dossier assembled by human analysts rather than an automated research run.
Relationship and affiliation context matters more to you than finding new names.

Neutral ground

Side by side

Capability by capability, including where we lose

Every cell is a phrase rather than a checkmark, because a cross against a named vendor is usually a claim we cannot defend. Rows where the honest answer favours Wealth-X are set in darker type on their side.

The closed set

A library can only return what someone already wrote

Curation is Wealth-X's strength and its boundary in the same breath. Analysts build dossiers on people who are findable: public company executives, founders with press coverage, documented philanthropists, names that appear in filings and profiles. That work is careful and it is genuinely hard to replicate.

But the wealthy person three streets over who has owned a commercial portfolio quietly since 1994 has no dossier, because nobody has written about them. Neither does the family that sold a regional distribution business to a private buyer. Neither does most of the wealth in most American counties. A search returns nothing, and nothing is indistinguishable from not wealthy.

Plotbook has no opinion about who is notable. It reads the county record. A parcel assessed above five million dollars is visible on the map whether or not its owner has ever been written up, and the research agent starts from that deed rather than from a reputation. That is the only method that surfaces someone no analyst has reached, and it is the entire reason to consider it alongside a curated database.

The missing tier

Most advisors do not serve the people in the book

Wealth-X is built for the very top of the distribution, and its buyers are private banks, family offices, and luxury brands where a handful of enormous relationships is the entire business. That is a coherent product for a coherent buyer.

It is also not the shape of most independent advisory practices. A firm managing a few hundred million dollars is looking for households in the one to thirty million range: a business owner nearing an exit, a retiring physician, a family holding four rental properties and a lake house. That tier is enormous, local, and largely undocumented, which is exactly the tier a curated global library is not designed to enumerate.

Plotbook works that tier because property does. Assessed value at parcel level is a direct, public, current signal about a household, available for every parcel in the country rather than for the few thousand people someone has chosen to profile. The research that follows produces four ranges, net worth, income, investible assets, and total assets, each generated by an AI model from what the run actually found, always shown as ranges with a confidence score rather than as a figure.

The other side

What Wealth-X does better than us

On its own ground Wealth-X is not close to being matched, by us or by anyone. Here is where it is the correct purchase.

Human analysts, at scale

A large research team maintaining curated dossiers is a different kind of asset from an automated agent, and it shows in the depth and the reliability of the narrative. Plotbook has no analysts. Our corroboration is automated and we say so.

Source-of-wealth narrative

How a fortune was actually made, told properly. Plotbook can identify an employer, a role, and a history, but it does not write the story of how someone got rich, and it should not pretend to.

Global coverage

Wealth-X is genuinely worldwide. Plotbook is US-only and parcel-bound. If your prospects hold property in London, Singapore, or Dubai, we cannot see any of it.

Philanthropic and affiliation depth

Giving history, foundation involvement, board seats, and interests are core dossier fields. Plotbook has federal campaign-finance records, which it uses mainly to confirm an identity, and nothing else in this category.

True ultra-high-net-worth altitude

For individuals at the very top, their assessment is grounded in far more than a property record. Our wealth ranges get wider and less useful the further above the residential property signal a fortune sits.

Institutional standing

Altrata is an established vendor with the security review and procurement paperwork large institutions require. Plotbook is a small company, which for some buyers settles the question by itself.

If your job is depth on people who are already known, buy Wealth-X. Plotbook is for the opposite problem: the wealthy household in your own market that no analyst has ever had a reason to write about.

Running both

Discovery first, then depth

The two do compose, in one direction. Plotbook surfaces a name from a property, which is the step a curated library cannot perform. If that name turns out to sit high enough in the distribution to be in Wealth-X, their dossier is a far richer read on the person than anything we produce.

In practice the overlap is smaller than it sounds, because most names a parcel map produces are not in a global UHNW library at all. That is the point of using the map. When one is, treat Plotbook as the finder and Wealth-X as the file.

Plotbook exports researched prospects to CSV with the parcel, the four wealth ranges, the confidence score, and the research summary attached. There is no direct integration with Wealth-X or with any CRM, and CSV export requires Professional or Enterprise.

What it costs

Priced for a practice, not a private bank

Plotbook bills a subscription plus credits, and credits are spent only when a paid source is called for you. The entry point is a card rather than a contract.

Browsing the map and filtering by value band: included
Opening a parcel Plotbook has not seen before: 1 credits
Instant owner lookup on a residential address: 15 credits
Full research run on an entity-held deed: 25 credits
Keeping the result as a profile: 10 credits
Exporting to CSV: 5 credits

Starter is $79 per month for 750 credits, Professional $199 for 2,500, Enterprise $499 for 8,000, with roughly 20% off when billed annually. New subscribers get 7 days and 100 credits. The trial takes a card and converts on day 8, and we email you before it does.
