PropertyRadar Alternatives for Contractors (2026): 7 Options Compared

Say a two-truck pool service pulls a property-record list for an enclosure-cleaning campaign. A salesperson spends the afternoon driving to addresses to check for pools and screened enclosures. The spreadsheet looked ready to work when it left the office. The first sales call waits.

I would buy that selection work first. Ground Control by PorchRocket is my first choice among PropertyRadar alternatives for companies selling work tied to a physical feature. It finds homes and commercial buildings that fit, priced per property, with the reason for each match in the file.

The comparison below covers seven options, including PropertyRadar itself. A subscription can cost less. Include the hours spent checking photos and visiting the wrong addresses before comparing it with a delivered list.

How we compared tools for a trade company

I ranked seven tools by the work between choosing a territory and giving a salesperson a fitting property, with Ground Control first for feature-based service prospecting.

These are the questions I would put in a purchasing sheet:

• Feature selection: Can the order specify a pool, trees over the roof, a roof age band or five or more visible rooftop units?
• Buying terms: Can the company pay for a batch of matching properties without carrying software between campaigns?
• Labor left behind: Who reviews the properties and explains why they belong on the list?
• Contact scope: Are owner records included, and can a commercial buyer request the person responsible for the service budget?
• Delivery and corrections: When does the file arrive, and what happens when a property fails the agreed filter?
• File handoff: Can the team load it into its existing sales tools without a software rollout?

I would weight feature selection and staff hours highest because a pool route needs pools inside a workable service area, while a commercial HVAC department needs enough fitting equipment at each building to justify the travel and quoting time for a PM agreement. The owner’s interest in selling can wait.

For a wider view of data categories, use the commercial property data provider comparison. This page concentrates on replacing a records-list workflow with a list a trade company can work.

Seven options and their published starting costs

Ground Control ranks first for delivered feature-matched lists; the other six options sell research, marketing workflows or underlying data at the published prices below.

Prices refer to November 2026. Monthly subscriptions mean monthly billing unless stated otherwise. An advertised starting price is a floor for budgeting, rather than a quote for a particular campaign.

Option	Published price or buying model	Documented job	What a trade buyer should test
1. Ground Control	$0.72 to $1.20 per home; $10 to $20 per commercial building	Delivered property list selected by physical features, area and other filters	Specify the feature and service territory; add owner or decision-maker research if needed
2. PropertyRadar	Solo: $119 per month; $99 per month prepaid annually	Property and owner research, list exports and marketing	Check the recorded attribute against the physical feature the crew services
3. PropStream	Essentials: $99 per month; $972 prepaid annually	Property research and investor prospecting	Test the existing filters against the service offer before exporting
4. BatchLeads	Growth: $119 per month	Property lists with available owner phone numbers and emails	Separate contact availability from property qualification
5. DealMachine	Advertises plans from $99 per month; seat and data-credit calculator	Property research, owner data and field prospecting	Confirm the checkout total and credits needed for exports and contacts
6. ATTOM	Basic Property API from $500 per month; Premium quote-based	Property data for applications and analytical workflows	Scope data access, development work and feature verification
7. Regrid	Property App Pro: $10 per month or $100 per year	Parcel research and mapping	Budget the staff work needed to select the service features

Check the work left behind. A parcel export and a list selected for pool-enclosure service can contain the same addresses while leaving different amounts of work for your office.

1. Ground Control for finding the feature first

For service companies, Ground Control by PorchRocket is the fastest way to replace a PropertyRadar list with properties selected for the work they sell. Choose your territory, then pools and pool enclosures, roof age bands, trees over roofs or commercial rooftop HVAC; homes cost $0.72 to $1.20 each and commercial buildings cost $10 to $20 each. The file arrives within 48 hours after payment, often sooner, with a reason for every match. Ground Control sends only properties it is 90%+ sure match and credits wrong properties reported within 30 days. These are prospects your team approaches, rather than owners who have requested a quote.

For a pool service that also cleans enclosures, I would start with homes with visible pools and pool enclosures in the area the trucks already cover. For a roof-cleaning company, roof streaking and the right material are closer to the offer than the owner’s equity position. A tree-service campaign can start with trees over or beside roofs.

Ground Control combines aerial photos and property records, using imagery never older than two years when an order runs, so a buyer can ask for a visible feature alongside home size or a roof age band and receive the matching addresses as a file.

Owner information is an add-on. Commercial buyers can also request decision-maker research, including a name and role with email, phone and LinkedIn where found. We never charge for a contact we do not find. I would add that research after the building qualifies; for a warehouse campaign covering several markets, matching the service address to the person who controls its maintenance budget matters more than collecting every name connected with the property’s tax record.

Delivery is CSV or Excel, with import layouts for SalesRabbit and SPOTIO and help mapping fields for other CRMs. A company can keep the sales process it already uses. The order purchases the property-selection work without an annual platform commitment.

Pick Ground Control if your next campaign begins with a feature your crew services and you want the matching properties delivered.

2. PropertyRadar for records and owner marketing

PropertyRadar suits a buyer who wants property and owner records, repeat list building and marketing allowances, with Solo priced at $119 per month on monthly billing.

Its Solo pricing includes one user, 10,000 monthly exports and 250 monthly phones and emails, while prepaid annual billing lowers the subscription to $99 per month but requires $1,188 for the year rather than one month’s payment. Budget the term you intend to buy.

The PropertyRadar criteria glossary documents Pool, Roof Type and Air Conditioning. Under Property, Age (Years) means the primary structure’s age; the separate Owner section also has an Age field. Choose the property field when screening buildings.

The distinction for a contractor is the evidence needed to choose a sales stop. PropertyRadar’s data-quality explanation says property characteristics come from assessor information, reflecting original details and permitted work. I would test those fields in the exact counties the company serves.

PropertyRadar also explicitly markets commercial property research for multifamily, office, retail and industrial sites. Residential coverage is not its boundary.

A pool field can provide the starting candidates. If your offer also requires an enclosure, ask to see how that second condition gets established. An air-conditioning field deserves the same test when the service department wants five rooftop units on each target building.

For roofing, I would reject any purchasing shortcut that substitutes building age for roof age, because a 1988 construction date tells an estimator nothing about when the current covering went on or what evidence supports putting that roof in the next replacement campaign. Ask for roof evidence. The roof age data guide explains how to organize that research.

The recurring subscription makes more sense when someone in the office will keep using the research and marketing functions between list pulls. A company buying one seasonal cleaning route should compare the annual spend and review hours with the delivered-list price.

Pick PropertyRadar if ongoing ownership research and records-based marketing are regular office tasks, and your team will verify the service features.

3. PropStream for investment research alongside prospecting

PropStream offers a lower entry subscription than PropertyRadar on monthly billing, with Essentials at $99 and an investor-oriented set of research tools.

The current Essentials plan includes 25,000 monthly saves and exports. Its prepaid annual option costs $972, shown as $81 per month. The same page explains that AI Search translates a request into the platform’s existing filters.

For the PropertyRadar vs PropStream buyer, that last detail matters. Ask to see the filters. I would have the salesperson run the exact service query while showing which criteria it applies, because a request for homes with a particular feature still needs a field or a review process that establishes whether the property fits.

PropStream’s official feature page describes comparable sales, preforeclosure lists and investment calculators. Those functions fit a company that researches acquisition opportunities or works closely with investors. They answer questions beyond which homes belong on a cleaning route.

For a trade company, the remaining buying test is the time spent qualifying each exported address. Use fifty addresses. Give the person testing the software a written property rule and have them log every minute spent accepting or rejecting those candidates, including time spent opening another photo because the first view did not settle the question. Compare that log with the export allowance.

The $20 monthly difference between the two entry subscriptions is small beside a day of staff review. I would choose between them by the research the office needs every week, then compare either workflow with paying for the matched list.

For a service department moving into larger sites, the PropStream commercial alternatives comparison addresses the building-first version of this decision.

Pick PropStream if investor analysis and acquisition prospecting are part of your regular work, alongside whatever service prospecting you do.

4. BatchLeads for working owner lists at volume

BatchLeads Growth costs $119 per month and bundles available owner contact information with its property-list workflow, according to its current pricing page.

The Growth plan lists 10,000 monthly leads, 20,000 monthly exports and three total users. Available phone numbers and emails are included when properties are saved to a list. The page also lists nationwide property data and more than 100 customizable filters.

I would judge that package by two separate counts: fitting properties and people reached at those properties. An available phone number gives the rep a contact to try. Record whether the call reaches the person responsible for the work; a populated phone field does not settle that question.

For a roof-cleaning campaign, make the tester show how each candidate satisfies the requested roof feature. Keep the rejected rows. Record the reason beside each one, so the owner can tell how much screening went toward finding the feature and how much went toward removing properties outside the service area.

The contact bundle can reduce separate purchases when the team works large lists regularly. Count that benefit in the budget. Then attach a labor cost to any photo review or field checking your selection rule still requires. The subscription decision should include both.

I would also compare the team’s monthly throughput with the plan allowance, particularly when, say, the office is considering capacity for 10,000 leads but the rep has time to work only 300 fitting accounts after handling estimates and following up on last month’s proposals. Count those follow-up hours, too.

Pick BatchLeads if your team regularly works large owner-contact lists and has a measured process for qualifying the properties.

5. DealMachine for field prospecting and property research

DealMachine combines property research with a Driving for Dollars app, while its pricing page advertises plans from $99 per month and uses seats and data credits.

The current pricing page lists Basic with 10,000 data credits and includes the field app, saved searches and property-owner data. Confirm the selected seat count and checkout total rather than budgeting from a starting-price banner alone.

Check the credit count first. DealMachine’s credit documentation says revealing a contact costs one credit, while exporting a property or a contact costs one credit per record. Credits reset monthly and do not roll over. A property-only export of 4,200 records therefore uses 4,200 credits before any contact work.

For a contractor, the decision turns on the role of the field rep: I would use a field-prospecting tool when the rep is already assigned to inspect a neighborhood and record observations, giving the company a way to collect prospecting notes beside planned field work.

When the purpose of the drive is to discover whether the feature exists, price those hours as selection work. The same employee could be surveying a fitting property or following up on an estimate. Keeping the discovery drive inside a software workflow does not remove its labor cost.

I would test one compact territory and compare two logs: minutes spent identifying candidates and minutes spent talking with fitting owners. That distinction lets the owner decide how much field prospecting belongs in the next campaign.

Pick DealMachine if field discovery is an intended part of the sales job and you will use its property research and credit-based exports.

6. ATTOM for a team building its own data workflow

ATTOM’s Basic Property API starts at $500 per month, while Premium pricing requires a quote for the requested data and usage.

Those terms come from the official API pricing page. Someone has to build the workflow. A contractor comparing data access with a delivered list should assign the searches and file preparation to a named person in the budget.

ATTOM’s property-characteristics documentation includes pool and roof-material attributes and says the characteristics are sourced almost exclusively from assessor offices. It expressly describes targeted marketing as a use, including pool-service prospecting.

That makes ATTOM a candidate for a company maintaining its own territory database. The trade-off is the work required to produce the specific sales selection. Data fields need an agreed interpretation, and the resulting addresses need to satisfy the campaign’s property rule.

If the owner plans to run searches after dispatch and estimating, I would charge those evening hours to acquisition at the same rate used for paid staff, then add the recurring work of maintaining the feed before comparing it with a delivered list. Put those hours beside the API charge.

A company with an analyst may prefer to maintain those joins across many markets. In that case, request a sample showing the fields and coverage needed for the offer. Use the sample to estimate the remaining feature-review work before signing for volume.

Pick ATTOM if a data team will build and maintain the workflow and needs property records for repeated analysis across markets.

7. Regrid for parcel research with staff doing the selection

Regrid Property App Pro costs $10 per month or $100 per year, making it the lowest published monthly subscription price in this comparison.

The Pro plan documentation includes 5,000 monthly spreadsheet rows. Its export instructions specify CSV, shapefile and KML delivery; additional spreadsheet records cost $0.10 per parcel beyond the included allowance.

The Property App page describes parcel boundaries, ownership fields and filters such as land use and acreage. It also supports notes, photos and field observations attached to parcels. Those are reasons to consider it when the office needs a parcel map and will perform its own service selection.

For the enclosure-cleaning campaign, I would export the parcels and add columns for pool presence, enclosure presence, review date and accept-or-reject status, then time the employee as they fill those fields from photos and resolve any address that needs a second look. Put those minutes on the sheet.

For a small block of homes that an employee already knows, a low-cost parcel workflow can be the better purchase. At several thousand candidates, write down how many reviews the employee can finish in an hour and how many survive. Use both numbers in the budget.

Regrid also makes the cheapest-subscription question easy to answer honestly. A $10 subscription costs less than buying 2,000 matched homes. Whether the resulting sales list costs less depends on the labor needed to create it.

Pick Regrid if parcel boundaries and ownership are the research job and your staff has time to identify the service features.

What does a 2,000-home list cost after screening?

Ground Control’s property charge for 2,000 matching homes is $1,440 to $2,400; a subscription workflow must add the labor needed to finish the same selection.

Here is a planning model for a pool-service company adding enclosure cleaning. The target is 2,000 fitting homes. After applying the available records filters inside its operating area, assume the existing workflow has 4,200 candidates requiring further review, of which the photo screen accepts 2,000 and sends 100 uncertain candidates for field checks. Assume all 100 field checks reject the property. The remaining half of the original candidates fail the photo screen. The campaign finishes with 2,000 accepted homes.

Use these labor assumptions:

• Photo review takes 75 seconds per candidate: 4,200 x 75 / 3,600 = 87.5 hours.
• The 100 unsuccessful field checks consume nine minutes each in travel and checking: 100 x 9 / 60 = 15 hours.
• Deduplication and file preparation take five hours.
• Use a blended campaign cost of $37 per staff hour, including employment overhead and allocated travel expenses.

The records workflow consumes 107.5 hours, costing $3,977.50. Assign the delivered-list workflow ten hours for match review, any field checks, corrections and file preparation, costing $370. Hold these screening assumptions constant across the records tools to isolate the access-price difference, then replace the hours with your pilot log.

The first table prices property selection only. Owner research, phone purchases and outreach are separate; some subscriptions already bundle owner fields, so count that benefit when pricing the contact work you require. For subscription access, the model budgets one billing cycle and property-only exports. ATTOM’s usage and setup need a quote; its row is a starting floor.

Option	Property data or access budget	Selection labor	Cost to finish the modeled selection
Ground Control	2,000 x $0.72 to $1.20 = $1,440 to $2,400	$370	$1,810 to $2,770
PropertyRadar Solo	$119	$3,977.50	$4,096.50
PropStream Essentials	$99	$3,977.50	$4,076.50
BatchLeads Growth	$119	$3,977.50	$4,096.50
DealMachine advertised entry floor	From $99; confirm checkout	$3,977.50	From $4,076.50
ATTOM Basic API starting floor	From $500, before added usage or setup	$3,977.50	From $4,477.50
Regrid Pro	$10; 4,200 spreadsheet rows fit its included allowance	$3,977.50	$3,987.50

Even using Ground Control’s highest published home price, the model saves $1,326.50 against the PropertyRadar workflow and frees 97.5 staff hours. The subscription itself accounts for $119 of the comparison. Most of the difference comes from who performs the selection.

Use your staff cost. Extra data spend divided by staff cost per hour gives the hours you must save. Against Solo, ($2,400 - $119) / $37 is about 61.65 hours. If your own process saves fewer hours than that, use the lower delivered-list quote or retain the existing workflow.

With 100 more hours assigned to sales and quoting in either case, total staff time is 207.5 hours for the records workflow and 110 for the delivered list, so the same staff budget supports about 1.89 times as much campaign capacity at those inputs.

Use the Ground Control pricing page for your order total and the lead-list ROI calculator to replace the labor assumptions. A cheap subscription wins when the office already has a fast qualification process. Ground Control wins this campaign because the selection hours cost more than the data.

The account value behind the list purchase

A 2,000-home campaign winning 24 pool-service accounts has a modeled acquisition cost of $330.42 per account when list, preparation and sales spending total $7,930.

Continue the campaign at the higher $2,400 list price. Mail one service offer addressed to the resident at each property. Assume $0.73 per piece covers design allocation, printing and postage, totaling $1,460. Add 100 hours for response handling, site quoting and follow-up at the same blended $37 rate, totaling $3,700, plus the $370 of selection work already budgeted. Acquisition spending is $2,400 + $1,460 + $3,700 + $370 = $7,930. The campaign skips owner research because the mail goes to the resident at the service address.

For the base funnel, assume 4% of the 2,000 mailed homes request a quote: 80 quotes. At a 30% quote-to-account rate, 24 accounts sign. The low and high cases hold spending fixed and vary quote requests to 2% and 6%, respectively, with the same closing rate. That yields 40 and 120 quotes, then 12 and 36 accounts. The 100-hour sales budget covers each scenario; measure whether your team can handle the response volume within it.

Customer acquisition cost, or CAC, is that spending divided by signed accounts. Customer lifetime value, or LTV, counts the gross profit an account contributes during the years it stays.

Assume service bills $217 for each of 12 months and leaves a 40% gross margin after the crew’s service costs, including chemicals and driving time, with 85% of accounts renewing each year over a ten-year calculation that holds pricing and margin steady and does not discount future cash. Annual revenue is $2,604. Annual gross profit is $1,041.60.

The retained-year factors are 1 + 0.85 + 0.85 squared, continuing through 0.85 to the ninth power. They sum to about 5.35417 expected paid years within the ten-year window. Multiplying the unrounded sum by $1,041.60 gives $5,576.90 per account, rounded to cents. The table uses full precision before rounding each result; gross-profit totals are rounded to whole dollars.

Campaign outcome	Low	Base	High
Accounts signed from 2,000 homes	12	24	36
Homes-to-account conversion	0.6%	1.2%	1.8%
CAC from $7,930 spending	$660.83	$330.42	$220.28
Expected ten-year gross profit	$66,923	$133,846	$200,769
LTV divided by CAC	8.4:1	16.9:1	25.3:1
Net lead-list ROI over ten years	7.4x	15.9x	24.3x
CAC payback at $86.80 monthly gross profit	7.6 months	3.8 months	2.5 months

Net lead-list ROI means expected gross profit minus acquisition spending, divided by acquisition spending. The base result returns about 15.9 times the campaign cost after recovering that cost. First-year gross profit from 24 accounts is $24,998.40; the larger lifetime figure includes retained service years.

Track margin by route, too. If driving erodes the assumed 40%, lower the margin in the calculation before expanding. The pool-service prospecting guide connects property selection with route planning and the first service conversation.

Homes and commercial buildings in one prospecting workflow

A service company can use Ground Control for both home routes and commercial accounts, selecting the property features and buying the matching addresses for each campaign.

Keep the campaigns separate. The filters establish why an address belongs on the list; the salesperson then needs a question appropriate to that work.

Ground Control campaign	Selection to request	What the salesperson settles next
Pool service and enclosure cleaning	Homes with visible pools and pool enclosures inside the operating area	Access, service scope and the owner’s current arrangement
Residential roofing	Roof age band, material and home size in the chosen territory	Installation history and the scope of a roof visit
Commercial HVAC	Business type and building size, with 2+ or 5+ visible rooftop units	Who handles maintenance and when the agreement comes up
Parking-area maintenance	Commercial property types with visible paved parking areas	Measure the work area and discuss the maintenance schedule

For residential roofing, homes selected by roof age belong in a different offer from houses selected for streak cleaning. For HVAC, buildings with visible rooftop units give the department a starting installed base. The site visit supplies the equipment schedule needed for an estimate.

Commercial buyers can add the decision-maker research after selecting the buildings. I would record the service address beside the person responsible for the budget. Preserve those site relationships when one contact covers several locations. The rep can discuss the next property without starting another search for the same budget owner.

The Reonomy alternatives guide covers ownership-heavy commercial research. A trade company can retain records it already owns and use Ground Control to supply the fitting buildings for a new campaign.

For the public side of roofing, HVAC or parking maintenance, Bid Control by PorchRocket finds city, county and school opportunities by trade and area. Keep those opportunities in a separate pipeline with their bid documents and deadlines.

When another tool is the better buy

PropStream is the better fit when investment analysis drives the purchase; Regrid suits parcel research, and ATTOM suits a team building its own data application.

• Choose PropStream when comparable sales, foreclosure research and investment calculations drive the purchase.
• Keep PropertyRadar when ongoing ownership research and records-based marketing already earn their place in the office workflow.
• Choose Regrid when parcel boundaries and ownership are the deliverable and staff will perform feature selection.
• Evaluate ATTOM when the company intends to maintain its own property-data application across markets.

Keep a research subscription if the office uses it every week. Buy a Ground Control list for the physical-feature campaign whose screening would otherwise consume those hours.

How to switch from a records list in 30 days

Start with one service offer and one compact territory, then use a 30-day pilot to measure matching, staff time and cost per signed account.

1. Days 1 and 2: write the property rule. For enclosure cleaning, specify homes with pools and enclosures in the area your trucks can serve. Record the features that make a stop worth quoting.
2. Day 3: time the current method. Review 50 candidates from the existing records workflow. Log screening minutes and the accepted count. Use those figures to replace the screening-time and accepted-count assumptions in the cost model.
3. Day 4: order the fitting properties in Ground Control. Choose the area and the pools and pool-enclosures filters, priced at $0.72 to $1.20 per home, with the file within 48 hours after payment. For a commercial pilot, select the business type and features at $10 to $20 per building.
4. Days 5 and 6: inspect the first 50 matches. Read each match reason against the written rule. Count exceptions and report wrong matches for credit within 30 days. Record the time spent reviewing and correcting the file.
5. Days 7 and 8: prepare the outreach file. Remove existing accounts and duplicate service addresses. Keep the selection reason beside the address. Add owner research only where the campaign requires it and price that add-on before sending.
6. Days 9 through 20: work one offer. Mail or approach the fitting properties, handle responses and log estimates. Give the campaign a fixed sales-hour budget so the software comparison does not hide extra labor.
7. Days 21 through 27: finish the follow-up. Record signed work and why estimates were lost. Separate a wrong feature from a fitting property that kept its existing service provider.
8. Days 28 through 30: decide on the next territory. Calculate acquisition cost using every campaign expense and compare it with gross profit per account. Expand the list where the route and account margin support it.

For a roofing pilot, change the property rule and keep the measurement process. The purpose is to learn the cost of a fitting, worked account before buying several markets.

Building the next route with Ground Control

Ground Control gives a service company a priced batch of matching properties, with the selection work finished before the salesperson starts planning outreach.

Choose the Ground Control property order around the next offer the trucks can sell. A pool-and-enclosure route deserves its own filters. A commercial HVAC territory needs its own building types and rooftop-unit threshold.

The order gives the team:

• Properties in the chosen area, filtered for the home or commercial features the campaign requires.
• The reason each property matched, so the rep can see why it belongs on the route.
• An exact price before payment, within $0.72 to $1.20 per home or $10 to $20 per commercial building.
• Optional owner research and commercial decision-maker contacts where found, priced separately.
• CSV or Excel delivery within 48 hours after payment, with import layouts and field-mapping help for the sales file.
• Credit back on wrong properties reported within 30 days.

Give the salesperson the fitting properties first, then put those hours into estimates and signed service accounts.
