2. Plans and the skip tracing price
| Topic | DealMachine, read October 22, 2026 | Locate Next, read October 22, 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Plan price | Pricing page: “Plans start at $99/mo.” “Cancel anytime.” The Scale card lists “$599 / package / mo,” with 100K records and 10 workspace seats in that package. | Pricing page: “We’re opening access in stages. When it opens for you, each qualifying search is paid from a prepaid balance.” No subscription plan is named on that page. |
| Skip tracing price | The pricing page checked does not list a per-record skip tracing price. | “$0.17 per qualifying search.” “the maximum cost shown before every search.” |
| What DealMachine lists on the plan cards | The plan cards include “API, CLI & webhook access,” a driving-for-dollars app, and mail priced per postcard. | The pricing page states the charge rule for a qualifying search. See that page for the full definition. |
| How contacts are checked | Skip tracing page: “We cross-reference multiple data providers to verify each phone number and email.” | Pricing page: “Everyone else at the address is free to review.” You pick who is exported. |
| Do Not Call label | The skip tracing page sample shows a “DNC: not checked” label. The text around that sample does not describe a Do Not Call service. | Pricing page: “Planned for Export at no extra charge, subject to provider access. Unanswered numbers stay Not checked.” |
| Export | “Export skip traced contacts directly into your CRM, calling platform, or marketing tool.” | CRM export page: “Your record IDs and custom columns stay with each contact.” |
| LLC filings | Not addressed on the two pages checked. | LLC page: “Not a beneficial ownership report.” |
3. A data platform and a list tool
DealMachine’s pricing page describes nationwide property and owner data, saved searches, driving for dollars, pay-as-you-go postcards, and the plan line quoted above. Locate Next’s pages describe an uploaded list, a review of name matches, company filings, and a CRM file. The workflow pages are bulk skip tracing, LLC owner lookup and CRM export. Filing contacts are people the company named. They are not proof of who owns the company.
DealMachine’s plan cards include the developer line quoted in the table. This comparison does not add a Locate Next claim on that topic. Use DealMachine’s pricing page for what it offers, and Locate Next’s pricing page for the $0.17 rule.
4. Credits inside a plan
DealMachine’s pricing page talks about data credits and a Scale package of 100K records. It does not, on the page checked, say how many of those credits a skip trace uses or what one skip trace costs. Before a test, ask DealMachine how a skip trace draws on the plan. Locate Next’s rule is published: a qualifying search is $0.17, shared rows are charged once, and searches with no result, failed searches, and results reused from the last 30 days are not charged.
5. Try both on confirmed owners
Trace a set of owners you have already confirmed in county records. Import each export and check that your record IDs survived. The CRM CSV checker flags import problems in the browser before you load a file. Then compare who was matched, not only how many numbers came back. What a skip trace match proves is the check.
