Two different kinds of product
Most comparison pages line up two tools that do the same job. This one does not, and it is worth saying that first. REsimpli is where an investor team works its leads every day: it stores the seller records, places the calls, sends the texts and mail, and runs eleven AI agents for jobs such as answering inbound calls, scoring leads and reviewing calls. Skip tracing is one feature inside that system.
Locate Next does a narrower job. You search one property address or upload an owner list you already have, see the maximum cost before anything runs, review who was found, and export the result. It also pulls homeowner lists by ZIP code, city or county through Find homeowners. It has no dialer, no texting, no pipeline stages and no mail. When you finish, the file goes to your CRM.
So the real question is not which one is better. It is whether you need a CRM at all, and if you already have one, whether its built-in tracing covers your lists.
Side by side
| Question | REsimpli, its own pages, read November 5, 2026 | Locate Next |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | An all-in-one investor CRM with calling, SMS, list pulling, list stacking, AI agents and skip tracing. | Skip tracing and homeowner lists for US real estate teams. Not a CRM. |
| Plans | Solo, Team and Business. The pricing page shows only Solo at $249 a month billed yearly. The LLM info file lists Solo at $299 monthly or $249 yearly, Team at $899 or $699, Business at $2,199 or $1,799. | One plan: $49 a month, plus $0.17 per search with results from a prepaid balance. |
| Users | The pricing page shows Solo for 1 user, Team for 5 and Business for 15. The LLM info file gives different seat counts. Extra users are $125 a month each, or $99 billed yearly. | One monthly plan. Ask about team seats when you get started. |
| Skip tracing cost | Included as monthly credits: 10,000 on Solo, 20,000 on Team, 50,000 on Business. What one credit counts, and the price after credits run out, were not stated. | $0.17 per search with results. No results, no charge. |
| What a trace returns | Up to 10 phone numbers, 3 emails and company names per lead, in seconds. | Contacts added beside your own columns and record IDs, exported in a layout you choose, Phone 1 to 10 included. |
| Do Not Call | DNC numbers are scrubbed and tagged automatically during skip tracing. Litigator scrubbing was not mentioned. | Checks run in Export. Each number keeps its own result; one without a current answer stays Not checked. |
| Building lists | List Pulling with nationwide property data and hundreds of filters, including equity, occupancy, mortgage and pre-foreclosure. Unlimited list stacking and cash buyer searches. | Owner-of-record lists by ZIP, city or county, with property and mailing addresses. Each account can pull up to 5,000 owners per ZIP per day. Far fewer filters. |
| Calling and texting | Unlimited standard minutes and SMS under a fair use policy. AI calling billed separately per use; no rate was shown. | None. |
| API and AI apps | An Open API with no usage fees, plus webhooks and Zapier. An image caption on the Open API page mentions ChatGPT and Gemini through API tokens. No MCP server or Claude connector was mentioned on the pages read. | No public API. An MCP server lets you use Locate from Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex or Cursor. |
| Trying it and leaving | A 14-day trial. No long-term contract; cancel anytime. | Locate is $49 a month to get started. |
How the money compares
The two pricing models answer different questions. REsimpli charges a fixed monthly amount for the whole CRM, and the skip trace credits come with it. Locate Next charges a small monthly fee and then only for searches that return something.
Where REsimpli is cheaper: if one credit covers one record, the 10,000 credits on the yearly Solo plan work out to about two and a half cents a record, and that is before counting the dialer, texting and AI agents you also get. If you would use those tools anyway and trace thousands of owners each month, the bundle is hard to beat on tracing cost alone. REsimpli did not say on the pages read whether a credit is spent per record or per hit, or what extra tracing costs past the allowance, so check that in the trial.
Where Locate Next is cheaper: if you trace a few hundred owners a month, or in bursts, a REsimpli floor of $249 a month (Solo, billed yearly) is a lot to carry for tracing alone. With Locate Next a slow month costs $49 plus whatever came back with results. The cost calculator lets you price your own volume, and the cost per record guide explains the per-record and per-hit models.
Using them together
You do not have to choose. A team that already runs REsimpli can still trace a list in Locate Next and load the result back in. That makes sense when you want to:
- trace an owner list you bought or exported elsewhere, keeping its record IDs and every original column;
- pull a quick homeowner list for one ZIP code and trace it in the same place;
- ask for a list or a price in plain words from Claude or ChatGPT, where searches that cost money run only after you say yes;
- save your monthly CRM credits for lists you build inside REsimpli.
Locate Next exports a Contacts CSV, your sheet plus contacts, numbered Phone 1 to 10 fields, or numbered phones with DNC results. The CRM export page lists the layouts, and the CRM CSV checker reads a file in your browser and reports what might break on import. We have not tested an import into REsimpli ourselves, so map the columns on a small file first.
Which fits which job
- If you need one place to call, text, mail and track every seller, REsimpli fits. Locate Next has no CRM features.
- If you need lists built from equity, mortgage, occupancy or pre-foreclosure filters, REsimpli fits better. Locate Next pulls owner-of-record lists by place, not by those signals. The list stacking guide covers that approach.
- If you need an API for your own code, REsimpli has an Open API. Locate Next has none.
- If you only need owner contacts for lists you already have, and your volume is small or uneven, Locate Next fits.
- If you want to run skip tracing from an AI app over MCP, Locate Next offers that; see skip tracing in Claude or ChatGPT.
Before you commit to either, run the same twenty owners you have already confirmed through both and compare the files: which person was tied to each owner name, how each number was labelled, and whether your record IDs survived. What a skip trace match proves explains what those results can and cannot tell you.
