Prop
$99/mo
Nationwide county data with 165+ search filters, let down by a mobile app its own maker calls a companion. Buy it for desk work, not for the car.

$119/seat/mo
Its phone app is the main product rather than a companion to one. You pay from the first day though, because the trial is gone, and the pricing page opens above the floor it advertises.

Batch
$119/mo
Phone numbers and emails are included on every plan rather than metered, which makes the sticker price close to the real one. Its most repeated complaint is that those numbers are stale.
List stacking with skip tracing in the price
Calling that depends on fresh numbers

Propwire
Free
Free to search, comp and download lists, with no card and no trial clock. Skip tracing is where it charges, at 10¢ per successful match or 10,000 a month on Gold for $119. What you give up is any review base worth reading.
Free searches and list downloads

Property
$119/mo
Strong foreclosure records in California and the West, sold behind a headline price that covers far less than it seems. The $119 buys 250 contacts a month. Everything past that is metered.

REsimpli
$299/mo
Every feature sits on every plan, so the tiers buy seats and skip tracing credits, never features. That makes it the highest entry price of the eight tools we review, by a wide margin, and it hands a new subscriber the entire product on day one.

Carrot
$119/mo
Websites and SEO rather than property data, so it makes sellers come to you instead of you going to county records. Its only third-party score is 3.1 on Trustpilot from twelve reviews, and almost all of that anger is about one repricing rather than the product.
Deal
Free
A calculator, not a lead source. It tells you whether a property works and does nothing at all to help you find one. The free tier is real and permanent, and the price the page shows you first is the annual rate.
On the App Store
Each listing’s rating as it showed in November 2026, highest first. A rating on fewer than 30 ratings is striped.
How these reviews are made
The same three rules on every review.
Every figure on every page traces to a source with the date it was read.
We have not subscribed to these tools, and we say so on each review rather than implying a hands-on test we did not run.
Ranking order is never influenced by what a tool pays.
