Plotzy vs RE HQ: CRE Prospecting Platforms Compared (2026)
RE HQ bundles owner data with a dialer, SMS, drip campaigns, and a CRM. Plotzy pairs parcel and zoning search with owner contacts. Here is how the two compare on pricing, data, and workflow for brokers and developers.
RE HQ prices are from its published pricing widget as checked in July 2026 and re-confirmed against third-party listings on September 5, 2026. Plotzy prices are current. Email support@plotzy.ai if something has changed.
RE HQ and Plotzy both sell to brokers and investors who need to find property owners and reach them. They start from opposite ends of the workflow. RE HQ is an outreach machine with property data underneath: a dialer, SMS, email sequences, direct mail, and a pipeline board. Plotzy is a parcel and zoning search with owner contacts attached, and it hands the list off to whatever outreach tools you already use. We build Plotzy; the comparison below says where RE HQ is the better buy.
The short answer
Choose RE HQ if you want the calling, texting, and follow-up automation inside the same product as the owner data, and you are willing to pay by owner unlock. Choose Plotzy if your prospecting starts with the parcel (zoning, lot size, use, tenure), you want zoning intelligence the outreach tools do not have, and you already have a CRM or dialer you like.
What RE HQ is
RE HQ (getrehq.com) describes itself as an AI prospecting engine for CRE brokers and investors. It offers a nationwide property map (160M+ parcels, 3,200+ counties), verified owner phones and emails, and, on its Pro tier and above, multi-channel outreach: a power dialer, SMS, email, direct mail, and AI drip sequences, plus a kanban-style deal pipeline. Its target users are tenant-rep and investment-sales brokers, small brokerage teams, and CRE investors.
RE HQ pricing
| Plan | Monthly | Annual (effective monthly) | Owner unlocks | Notable inclusions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $175 | $125 ($1,500 per year) | 150 | Map, owner phones and emails, pipeline, CRM |
| Pro | $350 | $245 ($2,940 per year) | 500 | Multi-channel prospecting, drip campaigns, mortgage data, permit history, full export |
| Elite | $1,200 | $834 ($10,000 per year) | 1,500 | White-glove onboarding, accountability calls, landing pages, done-for-you lead magnets |
| Teams | Custom | Custom | Custom | Shared data, team dashboard, bulk export, integrations |
All plans offer a free trial. The pricing lever is the owner unlock: each owner's contact details count against the monthly allowance.
Where RE HQ is the better choice
- You want outreach in the product. Dialer, SMS, email sequences, and direct mail in one place, with the pipeline board to track it. Plotzy exports a CSV and stops.
- You unlock a lot of owners. 150, 500, or 1,500 unlocks a month versus Plotzy's 25 or 100 contact lookups.
- You want mortgage data and permit history on Pro without stepping up to a data platform like Reonomy.
- You want coaching and done-for-you marketing on the Elite tier.

Run your own comparison on a market you know
The honest test is twenty parcels in your own county: check the zoning, pull the owners, and see how much of the workflow one tool covers. The trial is seven days with no card.
- Starter $180 a month, Production $300 a month, monthly billing
- Parcel search, two-level zoning, Zoning AI, owner contacts, export
- Cancel anytime from Settings
7-day free trial
- Zoning drives your search. Plotzy attaches two levels of zoning to every parcel, filters by it and by permitted use, shows the zoning layer on the map, and answers zoning questions from the ordinance with citations. RE HQ has no zoning story.
- You work land and development sites, where the first question is what can be built, not who to text.
- You already run a CRM or dialer. Paying again for outreach tooling you have is wasted spend; Plotzy's export goes into whatever you use.
- Lower entry price with monthly terms. Starter $180 a month versus RE HQ's $175 a month is a wash on price, but Plotzy's Production plan at $300 includes Zoning AI and map layers, and both Plotzy plans are monthly with a seven-day no-card trial.
- Full export on every plan. RE HQ reserves full export for Pro and above.

Plotzy's limits, stated plainly
- No dialer, SMS, email sequences, or direct mail.
- No CRM beyond folders and notes.
- Fewer owner contact lookups per month, and the contacts are researched at lookup time from public sources rather than a licensed database.
- No mortgage data.
- Zoning AI is in beta.
Other alternatives to consider
- Reonomy for ownership and debt data depth; see our Reonomy pricing and alternatives page.
- PropertyRadar for county-records prospecting with built-in mail and calling integrations at a lower price.
- A CRM plus Plotzy: many teams pair Plotzy's list with the dialer and sequences they already pay for.
How to decide
Count your monthly outreach volume and check whether you already pay for a dialer or CRM. If you make hundreds of calls a month and have no outreach stack, RE HQ's bundle is efficient. If you make targeted calls to owners of specific parcels that fit a use, and zoning decides which parcels those are, Plotzy finds the parcels RE HQ cannot.
Frequently asked questions
How much does RE HQ cost?
RE HQ's published plans are Starter at $175 per month, Pro at $350 per month, and Elite at $1,200 per month, with roughly 30 percent off on annual billing. Each plan includes a monthly allowance of owner unlocks: 150, 500, and 1,500 respectively.
Does RE HQ have zoning data?
Not as a product feature. RE HQ is built around owner contacts and outreach. Plotzy carries zoning on every parcel and lets you search by it.
Does Plotzy have a dialer or SMS?
No. Plotzy exports your prospect list with owner contacts to CSV for use in your own dialer, CRM, or email tool.
Which has better owner contact data?
They are sourced differently. RE HQ licenses verified phone and email data and meters it by unlock. Plotzy's AI researches contacts per parcel from Secretary of State filings, business listings, and people-search sources and shows the source. Test both on twenty owners in your market; accuracy varies more by county than by vendor.
Can I use Plotzy and RE HQ together?
Some teams do: Plotzy to find the parcels by zoning and size, RE HQ or another outreach tool to run the campaign. Plotzy's CSV export carries the parcel data and any contacts found.
