PropertyShark pricing in 2026
PropertyShark publishes three individual subscription tiers. The useful question is not simply which number is lowest. Each tier changes the kind of research you can do, especially once foreclosure tasks and researched owner-contact tools enter the plan.
| Plan | Monthly price | Property reports | What materially changes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pro | $59.95/month | 175/month | Core property reports, ownership information, downloadable lists, sales, liens/title documents, zoning, permits and value research. |
| Elite | $79.95/month | 200/month | Adds foreclosure, pre-foreclosure, REO, auction details and advanced mortgage data. |
| Platinum | $169.95/month | 250/month | Adds researched real owners behind LLCs, owner phone numbers, owner-list exports and people search. |
| Group | Custom | Custom | Discounted/custom subscriptions and training for teams. |
PropertyShark currently advertises a 17% savings for yearly subscriptions. Pricing, report allowances and regional data coverage can change; these figures were checked against PropertyShark's own subscription page on August 25, 2026.
The jump from $59.95 to $169.95 is mostly about prospecting depth, not just more reports.
The difference between Pro and Platinum is not simply 75 additional property reports. Platinum adds researched real-owner and contact capabilities that matter to investors, acquisition teams and prospectors. If you do not need owner-contact enrichment, paying for that tier may solve a problem you do not have.
Different pricing, different job.
Watchdog currently lists Agent at $99 one time and Professional at $299 one time. Watchdog is intentionally New Jersey-specific, organizing tax, assessment, Chapter 123, municipal, permit and checked property evidence into professional tasks. PropertyShark is broader and stronger for ownership research, title/lien history, comparables, foreclosure prospecting and owner-contact discovery.
| If your main need is… | Better fit | Why |
|---|---|---|
| NJ tax, assessment and appeal info | Watchdog | Built around New Jersey-specific evidence and professional decision tasks. |
| Owner identities and contact research | PropertyShark | Ownership and researched contact features are explicit parts of its higher tiers. |
| Foreclosure / pre-foreclosure prospecting | PropertyShark | Elite and Platinum add dedicated foreclosure-related research. |
| Municipal change and state-specific property info | Watchdog | The product is intentionally narrow to New Jersey rather than national. |
| Title, lien and broad record research | PropertyShark | These are established parts of its property-research stack. |
Check the New Jersey coverage for the exact fields you care about.
PropertyShark says report depth can vary by area. Before choosing a tier, open a representative New Jersey property and confirm that the ownership, lien, mortgage, permit, foreclosure or comparable fields you need are available in that market. A published plan feature is not the same thing as identical field depth everywhere.
