Shared, Premier, Exclusive: How ZIP Seat Caps Actually Work

product guide3 min readJun 22, 2026

Three tiers, three competitive postures. Here is how seat caps, lead priority, and credit allocations differ — and why the first brokerage to claim a ZIP sets the tier model for everyone who follows.

Three tiers, one map

Every open ZIP on Ziplytica can be claimed under one of three models:

Shared — disciplined market entry

Up to six brokerages per ZIP. Included CRM, permit leads, and 40 monthly credits for skip traces and mail. Built for teams establishing position without a full buyout.

Premier — scaled outreach with tighter caps

Maximum three brokerages per ZIP. 120 monthly credits and priority lead delivery ahead of Shared seats. Designed for acquisition teams running higher outbound volume.

Exclusive — single-firm ownership

Only one brokerage per ZIP while active. 300 monthly credits, custom handwritten letter copy, and 100% of qualified leads routed to your Manager Command Center. Competing brokerages are barred from entry.

First mover sets the tier

This is the rule most brokerages miss: the first claim locks the tier model. You cannot upgrade a ZIP to Exclusive after a competitor has taken Shared. Speed and market selection are strategic decisions, not checkout details.

Month-to-month, no long contracts

All tiers run on a monthly ledger. Surrender a seat and it returns to the open market at the current accelerated rate — another reason to treat territory timing as operational discipline, not a side project.
