Competitive Comparison
CoStar excels in listing-centric research ($500–$2,000+/mo bands). Ziplytica seats start at $199 Shared / $1,299 Exclusive for commercial and residential permit discovery, Firston Sight, team CRM, and repeatable outreach—action, not another research tab.
Ziplytica combines commercial and residential building permit workflow, Firston Sight seller-motivation Adds, Instant Trace from the same credit ledger, postcard and handwritten letter outreach, and a field-ready PWA ZTM for rep execution and manager oversight.

Positioning note: Ziplytica is one of the few platforms designed around a field-usable ZTM pipeline workflow layered directly on top of territory operations and building permit queues.
Yes. CoStar and Ziplytica serve overlapping real estate users, but Ziplytica is focused on territory ownership and field-ready ZTM execution on building permit activity rather than only search or listing visibility.
Yes. Ziplytica is designed for field execution. Agents can work opportunities, add notes, update statuses, and move records through workflow from mobile and desktop in one operating layer.
Ziplytica combines territory controls, building permit prioritization, and contact unlock workflow in one system, which reduces tool switching and preserves team accountability.
Exclusive seats are first-claim, first-lock. Once a seat is full, that lane stays closed until capacity opens.
