Where Ziplytica wins for operators

Lists missing owner contacts? Instant Trace only burns credits on ZIPs you own — misses free.

Claim ZIP territory seats and reduce direct competitor overlap in the same lane.

Add Firston Sight properties + contacts, then mail—without bouncing between exports and call tools.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Is Ziplytica a PropStream alternative?

Yes. PropStream is a broad property search and list-export platform. Ziplytica is a territory-first execution platform: Own the Zip seats, building permit queues, Firston Sight Adds, private-list Instant Trace on ZIPs you own, and mail inside one Ziplytica credit ledger—so desks jump ship from stale dumps.

Can agents use Ziplytica in the field through the ZTM?

Yes. Ziplytica is designed as a field-ready ZTM pipeline where reps can claim, update, note, and progress opportunities from mobile or desktop. It is built for execution, not only data lookup.

Can I bring my PropStream or CoStar lists?

Yes when rows are missing owner contacts or contacts are stale. Private list Instant Trace only runs on addresses in ZIPs your brokerage owns — out-of-territory rows are blocked and never billed. If the export already has fresh phones/emails, you usually skip re-trace and use Ziplytica for permits + Firston Sight + mail instead. Preview ZIP density free with List Inspector at /tools/list-inspector.

Does Ziplytica include skip tracing and Firston Sight?

Yes. Instant Trace and Firston Sight Add run inside the Ziplytica credit workflow (2 credits per FoS Add on Shared/Premier; Exclusive FoS Add is Free under the monthly COGS cap). Teams unlock phone and email without a separate vendor login.

Your ZIP can be claimed while you compare tools.

Exclusive seats are first-claim, first-lock. Once a seat is full, that lane stays closed until capacity opens.
