A Skip Genie alternative — bulk files rather than one lookup at a time

Single-lookup tools and bulk files are aimed at two different ways of finding deals, and the wrong one feels like friction every single day.

What a lookup tool does

Skip Genie belongs to the search-one-owner category: you have an address or a name in front of you — a driving-for-dollars route, a handwritten sign, a probate filing — and you want the phone number now.

That immediacy is the product. For a wholesaler whose deal flow starts with a specific property, it is exactly the right shape.

Pricing and lookup credits are its own to publish; we are not restating them.

What we do instead

We are the other end: you name a county and a list type and get back everything in it that matched, as one file, priced per record.

That only makes sense if your deal flow starts with a market rather than a property. A thousand tax-delinquent owners in one county is a calling campaign, not an answer to "who owns this house".

We keep cell and wireless numbers only. Landlines and VoIP are dropped before you are billed, so the count you pay for is the count you can actually text.

If the county holds fewer records than you ordered, you get everything it holds and the difference goes back to your balance automatically. There is no topping the file up with a different list type to hit a promised number.

Which one you actually want

If you drive for dollars or work from a physical pipeline of specific houses, a lookup tool is the correct purchase and a bulk file would mostly sit unused.

If you run outbound — a dialer, a texting campaign, a mail drop — you need volume in one file, and paying per lookup to assemble it is the expensive way to get there.

The honest test is whether you can name the county you want to work this month. If you can, buy the file. If you cannot, buy the lookups.

Skip Genie is a product of its own company and is not affiliated with Skip Trace Lab. We deliberately do not publish its pricing, plan structure or match rates here — those change, and a stale figure on this page would be worse than none. Check its own site for anything specific.

Questions people ask

Is there a minimum order?

One hundred records. Below that the fixed work of running a pull outweighs the order, and a lookup tool serves you better anyway.

Can I order part of a county?

You order a number of records and we deliver up to that from the county and list type you chose. If the county holds fewer, the difference is credited back.

How current is the data?

Each file is pulled when you order it, not served from a stored copy. That is the reason we do not keep a per-county inventory to advertise.
