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 workflows and researched owner-contact tools enter the plan.

PlanMonthly priceProperty reportsWhat materially changes
Pro$59.95/month175/monthCore property reports, ownership information, downloadable lists, sales, liens/title documents, zoning, permits and value research.
Elite$79.95/month200/monthAdds foreclosure, pre-foreclosure, REO, auction details and advanced mortgage data.
Platinum$169.95/month250/monthAdds researched real owners behind LLCs, owner phone numbers, owner-list exports and people search.
GroupCustomCustomDiscounted/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 decision point

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.

PropertyShark versus Watchdog

Similar entry price, different job.

Watchdog currently lists Agent at $59/month, Pro at $129/month and Pro+ at $399/month. Watchdog is intentionally New Jersey-specific, organizing tax, assessment, Chapter 123, municipal, permit and governed property evidence into professional workflows. PropertyShark is broader and stronger for ownership research, title/lien history, comparables, foreclosure prospecting and owner-contact discovery.

Before you subscribe

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.

Compare the workflow, not just the sticker price
