Commercial building permit queue by ZIP
Ziplytica
Yes
PropStream
No
Competitive Comparison
One sharp difference: Ziplytica is built for desks that claim a ZIP and execute — daily municipal permits, Firston Sight distress Adds with contacts, and mail from one credit ledger. PropStream is built for nationwide search and CSV export. If you want another dump, stay on PropStream. If you want to Own the Zip. and act first, use Ziplytica.
Ziplytica combines commercial and residential building permit workflow, integrated skip tracing from the same credit ledger, postcard and handwritten letter outreach from the same credit ledger, and a field-ready PWA ZTM for rep execution and manager oversight.
This comparison reflects publicly visible product positioning and workflow fit. Features and pricing can change. Verify critical buying criteria directly with each vendor.

Permits refresh daily from municipal feeds—your queue updates while list vendors cycle bulk data.
Firston Sight pulls current distress filings (pre-foreclosure, tax delinquent, vacant, probate, liens) into Leads with contacts—Add, claim, and call without exporting.
Duel Signal flags permit + distress on the same property so your team works the highest-intent lead first.
Claim ZIP territory seats and reduce direct competitor overlap in the same lane.
Lists missing owner contacts? Instant Trace only burns credits on ZIPs you own — misses free.
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—for brokerages that care about speed, not another spreadsheet. PropStream excels at nationwide list search and export. Ziplytica is a territory-first speed platform: daily building-permit refresh on owned ZIPs, Firston Sight on-demand distress Adds with owner contacts, Duel Signal when permit and distress align, Instant Trace for lists missing contacts, and mail from one credit ledger.
Yes—through Firston Sight (Ziplytica’s distress / seller-motivation product). Pull pre-foreclosure, tax-delinquent, vacant, probate, REO, auction, and lien properties for ZIPs you own, with owner contacts included, and Add them straight to your team queue. It is on-demand execution inside your territory seat—not a county-wide list export every agent can buy. We do not claim deeper national distress coverage than PropStream; we claim faster, territory-scoped action.
List tools optimize for search and CSV export; speed dies in the spreadsheet. Ziplytica ingests municipal permits daily (sale, occupancy, tenants, construction), surfaces fresh Firston Sight filings on demand, and keeps claim → skip trace → mail inside one ZTM workflow—so the desk that covers the ZIP acts while competitors are still sorting last month’s dump.
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.
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.

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