Locate Next and PropertyRadar are separate companies. Every PropertyRadar fact below comes from PropertyRadar’s own site, with the page linked in Sources.

What PropertyRadar is

PropertyRadar is a subscription for finding properties and owners and then reaching them. Its features page describes list building with “hundreds of criteria”, an event engine with more than 250 criteria, and an AI-Powered Search that turns a plain description of the deal you want into search criteria. The pricing page cites more than 300 criteria. That is a much wider set of list filters than Locate Next offers, and it is the main reason to choose PropertyRadar.

Around the lists sit monitoring of saved properties, owner phones and emails, email sends, postcards, online ads, a dialer and SMS packs. Its integrations page lists Zapier, CRMs such as Salesforce and Pipedrive, direct mail services such as Lob and Click2Mail, and phone and text tools.

How PropertyRadar pricing works

The subscription is the entry price. There is no minimum order beyond it, but the smallest plan is Solo at $99 a month billed yearly or $119 month to month. Each plan includes views, saves and imports without limit, a monthly export allowance and a monthly allowance of phones, emails and relatives.

PropertyRadar does not publish a separate skip trace price. Its pricing page presents phones and emails as “pre-matched”, so the per-contact charge takes the place of a trace fee. Once the included contacts are used, each extra phone or email costs 8 cents on Solo, 6 cents on Team or 4 cents on Business, and higher plans also get 25% or 50% off add-ons. Document images cost $4, $3 or $2 each. Unused allowances do not carry into the next month. Solo covers 1 user, Team 3 and Business 10, and an extra user costs $50, $37.50 or $25 a month by plan.

The API draws on the same allowances. PropertyRadar’s developer docs say each returned result counts as one export record or one phone or email purchase, with overage billed at the export rate. You can preview a count first at no charge, and asking only for RadarIDs is free.

One point to settle before you pay: the trial terms on the pricing page do not agree with each other. The FAQ says a card and mobile number are required and the card is charged when the 5 days end unless you cancel, while a button elsewhere on the same page says no card is required. Read the checkout screen carefully.

A worked month on each

Say you have 400 owners to trace in a month and nothing else to buy. On PropertyRadar Solo, 250 phones and emails are included. Because pricing is per contact, a single owner can use more than one: two phones and an email are three contacts. The pricing page does not say whether an owner with no number found uses any. Past 250, each contact is 8 cents, on top of $119 for the month. If every owner used one contact, that is 150 over the allowance, or $12, for $131 in total. At two contacts per owner it is 550 over, or $44, for $163.

On Locate Next, the same 400 owners cost $49 for the month plus $0.17 for each owner search that comes back with results, so at most $68 in searches plus the plan, or $117 if every search finds someone. A search with no results costs nothing. The two totals land close together, and PropertyRadar’s includes list building and exports as well. Run your own numbers with the cost calculator, and see skip tracing cost per record for why per-contact and per-search prices are hard to line up.

The comparison changes if you use the rest of what PropertyRadar includes. The subscription also buys list filters, monitoring, exports, email sends and an API. If you would pay for those anyway, the contact allowance is part of a bundle you were buying, not the whole price.

Where Locate Next is different

Locate Next is narrower. It takes the owner list you already have, as you have it, keeps your record IDs and columns on each row, and lets you review who was found before you export. For new lists, Find homeowners pulls owners of record by ZIP code, city or county, which you can save and then trace. It does not offer hundreds of filters, property monitoring, mail, a dialer or an API.

In AI apps you can connect Locate through its MCP server and ask in plain words for a homeowner list for a ZIP, to check a list, or the price of tracing it. PropertyRadar also describes an MCP server, so this is not unique to Locate. See skip tracing in Claude or ChatGPT.
