Key Takeaways
- Flipster is a $97/mo month-to-month toolkit for flippers and wholesalers with 10,000 leads a month, deal analysis, contracts and funding introductions.
- PropStream starts at $99/mo with 25,000 saves and exports, and goes deeper on data, plan limits and calling; its Tax Delinquency list is the more direct fit for tax-delinquent sellers.
- Goliath starts at $1,499/mo, with no free trial and no cheaper solo plan, and bundles signals, CRM, dialer, texting and the David AI voice agent in one plan.
- Flipster has discontinued SMS per a notice on its home page, and PropStream does not list texting on its Connect page.
- Flipster, PropStream and Goliath count volume in different units (leads, saves and exports, skip traces), so their monthly numbers do not compare one to one.

Flipster vs PropStream is mostly a question of what you want the software to do after it finds a house. Flipster is a one-price toolkit for flippers and wholesalers, with deal analysis, contracts and funding introductions on board. PropStream costs about the same to start but goes deeper on data, plan limits and calling. Investors who want more data per dollar will lean PropStream. Those who want a single flat bill and flipping tools will lean Flipster.

How do Flipster, PropStream and Goliath compare side by side?
Goliath is listed first on the neutral criteria here: signal coverage, source on each record and outreach built in, all under one plan. It is also many times the price, so read the price row first.
What to compare | Goliath | Flipster | PropStream |
|---|---|---|---|
Published price | From $1,499/mo | $97/mo | From $99/mo |
Monthly volume at that price | 5,000 skip traces | 10,000 leads | 25,000 saves and exports |
Commitment | Monthly billing shown | Month to month | Monthly or annual ($81/mo billed yearly) |
Tax-related data | Tax delinquency signal | "Specialty liens," including tax liens | Tax Delinquency list, involuntary liens |
Probate | Yes | Yes | Pre-Probate list |
Calling | Dialer, AI voice agent | Auto dialer | Click-to-Dial, Dialer Campaigns |
Texting | Built in | Discontinued, per a site notice | Not listed on its Connect page |
Trial | None | None shown at checkout | 7 days with 50 free leads |
Read the fine print on units: a Flipster "lead," a PropStream "save or export" and a Goliath "skip trace" are not the same thing, so these numbers do not compare one to one.
What does Flipster include?
Flipster's site promises access to 150 million properties nationwide, sorted into motivation categories: absentee and out-of-state owners, pre-foreclosures, probate, REOs, free and clear, tired landlords, vacant houses and auctions. It also lists cash buyers and private lenders, which many data tools treat as an afterthought.
The appeal is how much deal work sits beside the data:
- Flipper Score, its own ranking of discounted MLS properties
- Instant Deal Analyzer and Offer Generator Pro for running numbers and writing offers
- Assignment Generator Pro and a contract library for wholesalers
- Funding Network, which Flipster describes as over 100 lenders competing to fund a deal
- Rehabbing tools, including a budget tracker and contractor center
- Deep skip tracing, advertised as over a dozen data points per person
- Training center for people new to flipping
Checkout shows a $97 monthly charge, 10,000 leads a month and the ability to cancel anytime.
Three things to check before you pay. The checkout still lists SMS marketing, but a note on the home page says Flipster has discontinued SMS because of new regulations, so assume no texting until support tells you otherwise. Its refund policy says subscription fees are non-refundable and mentions Basic, Pro and Prime plans, while $97 is the only price we saw. And its own disclaimer says the success stories on the site are not typical, which is honest of them and worth remembering.
What does PropStream include?
PropStream's strength is sheer data and filtering. Its site counts 160+ million property records, 308+ million deeds and sales, 185+ million mortgages and 41+ million pre-foreclosures, with 165+ filters and 20 lead lists.
Plans step up cleanly: Essentials at $99 a month (25,000 saves and exports), Pro at $199 (50,000, two team members) and Elite at $699 (100,000, nine team members). Annual billing brings those to $81, $165 and $583 a month.
Unused saves and exports reset each month, and they do not roll over. Pro and Elite include the Connect bundle of skip tracing, click-to-dial, dialer campaigns and Lead Automator. On Essentials it is a $30 monthly add-on. Without it, traces cost 12¢ each.
Where Flipster leans into flipping, PropStream adds calculators (rehab, rental ROI, fix and flip, ADU), MLS and public record comps, and a mobile app with driving for dollars. If you want to read more on the plan value, we looked at whether PropStream is worth it.
Which finds tax delinquent sellers faster, Flipster or PropStream?
Neither Flipster nor PropStream publishes a speed figure for finding tax delinquent sellers that we could verify, so this page compares what each offers for the search.
PropStream's Tax Delinquency list shows properties where the county assessor noted a missed payment, which is exactly the search you want, ready-made. Flipster's page offers "specialty liens," which it says includes vendor and tax liens, plus lead stacking to combine motivations. A lien and a missed payment are different stages of the same story, so PropStream's list is the more direct fit if tax delinquency is your main play.
Any list only moves as fast as the county publishing behind it, so ask a vendor how often your specific county refreshes.
Where does Goliath fit against Flipster and PropStream?
Flipster and PropStream both start under $100, and Goliath does not. Ramp is $1,499 a month, Growth $2,999 and Scale $7,499, with no free trial and no cheaper solo plan today. See current pricing.
What the money buys is one system for the whole outreach step. Tax delinquency, pre-foreclosure, probate, absentee and expired-listing signals feed the lists, with the source kept on each record. Records update hourly, although refresh timing varies by source and market. Skip tracing carries published figures of 99% match and 85% accuracy, and misses cost nothing.
The CRM, dialer and texting are native. David, the AI voice agent, takes calls and configured follow-up, then hands the seller to your team with the conversation history. There is also an iPhone app that can show the owner and estimated equity from a camera pointed at a house. For the head-to-head with one of today's contenders, see Goliath vs PropStream.
This is data and software, by the way. Goliath does not sell leads.
Who should pick Goliath, Flipster or PropStream?
Goliath suits a team making calls every week across several signals, with the budget to match.
Flipster suits a flipper or wholesaler who wants analyzers, assignment contracts and lender introductions on one flat bill and does not need texting.
PropStream suits an investor who wants tighter tax and probate lists, more monthly volume and a trial before paying.
Run the same county and buy box through any tool you shortlist, and spot-check 25 records against the county site. A cheap afternoon beats an expensive year.

What rules apply before you dial or text owners?
Flipster's notice is a good reminder that outreach comes with rules. Treat your calls and texts to owners as covered by telemarketing rules unless your lawyer tells you otherwise, because whether an offer on a house counts is their call to make. The FTC publishes a business guide to get you oriented. Nothing here is legal advice.
