The reviews

PropStream app: Comparable properties pinned on the map

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.

  • Best for Pulling nationwide county records from a desk
  • Not for Anyone whose workflow is mostly on a phone

DealMachine app: Driving for dollars: live route line and mileage

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.

  • Best for Driving for dollars, from a phone
  • Not for Anyone who wants to try before paying
From
$99/seat/mo

BatchLeads app: A list of properties marked skip traced

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.

  • Best for List stacking with skip tracing in the price
  • Not for Calling that depends on fresh numbers

Propwire app: Map search with 73,824 results

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.

  • Best for Free searches and list downloads
  • Not for Anyone who needs a CRM, or works from a phone

PropertyRadar app: Saved lists counted by signal: probates, tax delinquent, vacant, liens

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.

  • Best for California and the West Coast
  • Not for Volume calling, or counties its own tables show as thin
From
$119/mo, or $99/mo prepaid annually
Free trial
5 days, with an account and SMS verification

REsimpli app: Driving for dollars route with properties along it

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.

  • Best for Lists, calls and deals in one system
  • Not for Your first year, before the leads exist
From
$299/mo, or $249/mo paid annually
Free trial
14 days
Skip tracing
10,000 credits a month on Solo, pooled across the account

No app on the App Store or Google Play

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.

  • Best for Inbound leads from your own site
  • Not for Anyone who needs off-market data
From
$119/mo, or $99/mo paid annually
Free trial
None. A 30 day money-back guarantee instead

DealCheck app: Cash flow analysis: rent, vacancy, operating income and expenses

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.

  • Best for Analysing a deal you already found
  • Not for Finding deals in the first place

Free, then $14/mo or $10/mo annually
