PropertyRadar vs PropStream: when $20 more a month is worth paying
The short answerPick PropStream to trace, mail or work as a team: it was the smaller bill in three of the four months we priced, by $130 to $330. Pick PropertyRadar if you trace a few hundred owners a month or fewer and its county table shows deep records where you buy.

What each one is built for
PropertyRadar is built around a territory: you set criteria and it watches the properties that match for changes. PropStream is built around pulling lists from nationwide county property records at a desk. Both now watch properties, so what separates them is mostly price and what each tells you about its coverage.
PropertyRadar
Built to watch a territory
- Up to 10,000 monitored properties on Solo, 25,000 on Team and 50,000 on Business, with views and saves unlimited.
- A published coverage table for each state: every California county has foreclosure records from 2001 or 2002, while Arkansas has them in 42 of its 75 counties.
- 4.5 on G2 from 35 reviews and 4.40 on iOS from 52 ratings, but 3.6 on Google Play from 126.
PropStream
Built to pull lists at a desk
- Nationwide county data with 165+ search filters and 20 prebuilt lead lists, by its own count.
- The $30 Connect add-on watches up to 50,000 properties, alerts you on the changes you filter for and covers up to 25,000 traces.
- 3.07 on iOS from 179 ratings, and no reviews on G2.
The two share a weakness. A PropertyRadar reviewer on the App Store: "Their web app is pretty good, but the mobile app needs some help." PropStream’s reviewers say much the same about its app.
PropStream vs PropertyRadar pricing: what a month actually costs
PropStream opens at $99 and PropertyRadar at $119, and neither number is the bill. These four months are priced line by line from both pricing pages as they read in November 2026, on monthly billing and before tax.

PropStream lower by $330
- PropertyRadar prices emails separately from phone numbers, at the same 8¢ on Solo. These months count phone numbers.
- PropStream’s 57¢ is its lowest postcard price, and it labels that price limited time.
- One person, phone numbers only: PropStream’s 12¢ is lower under about 170 a month, PropertyRadar is lower from there to about 375, by $10 at most, and PropStream with Connect is lower from 375 up to 25,000.
- Billed yearly, PropertyRadar Solo is $99 a month and PropStream Essentials $81 a month, plus a one-time $100 credit.
So PropStream is the smaller bill for almost any month with real volume in it. PropertyRadar costs less in a narrow band, a few hundred contacts a month, and what its extra $20 buys beyond that is knowing your county’s coverage before you pay.

Data coverage: one of them publishes it
PropertyRadar publishes a coverage table for every state, county by county, with the year each county’s foreclosure records start. Every California county has them from 2001 or 2002, and all 58 have trustee sale tracking from 2006. Florida lists all 67 counties and Arizona all 15. The tables show the gaps too: Texas has foreclosure records in 202 of its 254 counties, with a typical start year of 2013, and Arkansas in 42 of 75.
PropStream says its data is nationwide, over 160 million public records, and its site has no coverage page at all. That is not evidence its coverage is thinner. Nobody has measured either one against county records, us included. It does mean you can check PropertyRadar’s coverage for your county before you pay, and PropStream’s by trying it, which its 7-day trial makes free.
What no table shows is freshness. Stale data is the most repeated complaint on PropertyRadar’s G2 page, 4 of the 10 reviews on its first page, one of them describing mortgage figures a year or two out of date.

Saves, exports and alerts
PropertyRadar does not count views, saves or imports. It counts exports, 10,000 a month on Solo and 2¢ each after that, and it counts contacts. PropStream counts saves and exports together, 25,000 a month on Essentials, and they do not roll over. More saves start at $30, and extra exports cost from 10¢ each.
Watching properties is less of a difference than it looks. PropertyRadar’s Solo plan watches 10,000 properties for changes. PropStream’s Lead Automator, part of the $30 Connect add-on, watches up to 50,000 and triggers alerts on the criteria you set. Under 10,000 properties PropertyRadar does it for $10 less. Past 25,000, PropStream does it for $129 where PropertyRadar needs Business at $599.
What PropertyRadar says about PropStream
PropertyRadar runs its own comparison page, and it makes two claims worth knowing about. It says it has 300+ search criteria against PropStream’s 165, and that PropStream is up to two weeks behind in 400 counties, citing its own test of data sources.
Both are PropertyRadar’s claims, and we have not been able to check either. Filter counts do not compare across tools, since nothing says the two count a criterion the same way. The data lag is the one worth testing yourself: pull the same county on both during the trials and compare the newest filings.

PropertyRadar vs PropStream questions people actually ask
Is PropertyRadar better than PropStream?
For watching a small territory and tracing a few hundred owners a month, PropertyRadar fits well, and its app and G2 ratings are higher: 4.40 on iOS against 3.07. For tracing, mailing or working as a team, PropStream was the smaller bill in every month we priced with real volume, by $130 to $330.
Which is cheaper, PropertyRadar or PropStream?
PropStream starts lower, $99 against $119, and stays lower for most months. PropertyRadar is the smaller bill for one person pulling about 170 to 375 contacts a month, by up to $10. Past that, PropStream with Connect is $129 up to 25,000 traces, while PropertyRadar adds 8¢ for each contact past 250.
Which has better coverage?
Nobody has measured that, us included. What differs is what each publishes. PropertyRadar has a coverage table for every state with the year each county’s foreclosure records start. PropStream says nationwide and publishes no table. Check your county on PropertyRadar’s table, and run PropStream’s 7-day trial on the same county.
Does PropertyRadar have a free trial?
Yes, 5 days. Signing up asks for a mobile number and an SMS code, and there is a business details step before you pick a plan. PropStream’s trial is 7 days with 50 free leads.
Can PropStream alert me when a property changes?
Yes, through Lead Automator, part of the $30 Connect add-on on Essentials and included on Pro. It watches up to 50,000 properties and triggers alerts on the criteria you set. PropertyRadar’s Solo plan watches 10,000.
Which has the better app?
Neither is strong on a phone. PropertyRadar rates 4.40 on iOS from 52 ratings but 3.6 on Google Play from 126. PropStream rates 3.07 on iOS from 179 and 3.5 on Google Play, and calls its app a companion to the website.
Can I use PropertyRadar and PropStream together?
Yes. The two entry plans together cost $218 a month before any usage.

We have not subscribed to either tool, and we have not measured either one’s coverage against county records. Every price here is a list price and every month is arithmetic on published rates. Sales tax and negotiated discounts are left out.
