Skip Genie Pricing and Plans Explained (2026)

Skip Genie is worth it if you trace names steadily, by hand, and want up to 10 ranked phone numbers per person with no contract: it’s one $58/mo plan with 100 searches, then 17¢ per extra search or bulk record. It’s a poor deal for occasional use, because there’s no free trial for investors, no refunds, and the DNC scrub costs extra at a price it doesn’t publish. If you trace a list every few weeks, REISkip (15¢ per match, no subscription listed) usually costs less. PropStream (12¢ per contact, DNC flags included) is only the cheaper route if you already pay for its $99/mo plan to pull lists, because the per-contact price sits on top of that plan.

Disclosure: Deal Run is our product. It appears in the alternatives below at the position we think it deserves, and we say plainly where it fits: it traces buyers for one deal at a time, not seller lists.

This review covers what Skip Genie returns, what it really costs per search at different volumes, where it’s weak, and what to use instead. If you’re still choosing a service from scratch, start with our main guide to skip tracing for real estate investors, which walks through the whole buyer workflow and compares every major service.

What Skip Genie Is

Skip Genie is a standalone skip tracing service that says it has been finding owners since 2014. It markets to two groups: real estate investors and oil and gas land professionals tracing mineral and royalty owners. It has no property search or list builder. You bring the names; it finds the phone numbers.

There are two ways to use it, both in a web login at web.skipgenie.com (the site doesn’t mention a mobile app or an API):

• The Tracer: search names and addresses one at a time.
• Bulk Search: download a template from your dashboard, fill in the names, and upload the spreadsheet. Skip Genie says results come back within minutes.

That name-first design matters for wholesalers. If the owner on a deed is “Maple Street Holdings LLC,” Skip Genie isn’t built to trace the company. Its own advice for a dissolved LLC is to search the people who signed for it, named in the recorded document. So you’ll do the entity lookup yourself first; our guide to skip tracing an LLC shows how.

What a Skip Genie Search Returns

According to Skip Genie’s homepage and FAQ, each search can return:

• Up to 10 phone numbers, ranked by likelihood, each labeled mobile or landline.
• Possible emails.
• Address history, including addresses the person was “substantially associated with.”
• Possible relatives and their ages, and possible associates.
• Age and a deceased indicator.

Optional add-ons are a do-not-call scrub, a caller ID check and a connection-status check. None has a published price. The FAQ says the DNC scrub covers state, national and litigation DNC lists.

Ten ranked numbers plus relatives is a deep result. It’s most useful when the owner is hard to find: an heir to a probate property, an out-of-state landlord, or a mineral owner. For an active local flipper, you usually only need the top one or two mobile numbers, so you won’t use most of what you’re paying for.

Skip Genie Pricing

There’s one plan, and Skip Genie says there are no hidden fees and no long-term contract:

• $58 a month with 100 search credits included every month.
• 17¢ for each additional search credit.
• Bulk Search: 17¢ per record. The FAQ calls this “the standard 17¢” and doesn’t say whether bulk records draw down the 100 included credits.
• Free trial: “Not at this time,” except a limited 7-day trial for oil and gas professionals (25 search credits).
• Refunds: none. The FAQ says membership fees and credits are non-refundable.
• Cancel: from the Subscription page in your account; you keep access until the end of the billing cycle.

The FAQ doesn’t say whether unused credits roll over or whether a search that finds nothing still uses a credit. Ask before you buy if either matters to you.

What it costs per search

Because the $58 is charged whether you use the credits or not, the real price per search depends on your volume. Using Skip Genie’s published prices (our arithmetic, assuming you use the Tracer):

Compare that with a service that bills only for what you trace: REISkip lists 15¢ per match with no subscription, so 300 matches cost $45 there against $92 on Skip Genie. Skip Genie gets closer only at high, steady volume, and it never quite gets there. PropStream works differently: its 12¢ per contact is charged on top of the $99/mo Essentials plan, so 250 traces cost about $129 there ($99 + 250 × 12¢) against $83.50 on Skip Genie ($58 + 150 × 17¢). PropStream comes out cheaper only above roughly 1,160 traces a month, or when you’re already paying for it to pull lists. For a fuller per-record breakdown across vendors, see our skip tracing cost guide.

What Skip Genie Does Well

• Simple, published pricing. One plan, a public per-record price and no contract. Many tracing vendors make you call sales.
• Deep results. Up to 10 numbers ranked by likelihood with mobile/landline labels, plus relatives, associates and address history.
• Honest about accuracy. It doesn’t claim a hit rate. The FAQ says “We don’t quote a percentage” and that even the best data has gaps. That’s more candid than vendors who quote numbers you can’t check.
• Long track record. It says it has been tracing owners since 2014.

Where Skip Genie Falls Short

• No trial and no refunds for real estate investors, so your first month is the test.
• DNC scrub costs extra and the price isn’t published. PropStream and BatchData include DNC and litigator flags.
• A monthly fee for light users. If you trace 30 buyers a month, you’re paying almost $2 a name.
• Names in, not properties in. There’s no property search, so you build the list elsewhere and resolve LLCs yourself.
• No list building, CRM or outreach. You export results and call, text or email from other tools.

Is Skip Genie Worth It?

Verdict: Skip Genie is a solid pick for someone who traces 100 or more hard-to-find people every month, wants deep results with relatives and address history, and is fine adding the DNC scrub. That describes probate and heir work and oil and gas land work better than it describes most wholesalers. If you trace a buyer list once or twice a month, or you need DNC flags on every number without an add-on, a pay-per-match service costs less.

Skip Genie Alternatives, Ranked

Ranked for the typical Skip Genie shopper: a wholesaler or small investor tracing a few dozen to a few hundred names a month.

1. PropStream — best if you also build your lists

PropStream is a property data platform with tracing built in: 12¢ per contact on Essentials ($99/mo, or $81/mo billed annually) and 10¢ on Pro and Elite, which also include free tracing through its Connect add-on. Its skip tracing page says you only pay for traces that return information, each match returns up to four phone numbers and emails, and every result includes DNC flagging and litigator scrubbing at no extra cost. Since November 2025 it also traces company-owned properties, though PropStream says those results give a company name, mostly landlines, and no person’s name. On October 22, 2026 it launched Investor Outreach, a $70/mo add-on (requires Connect) that lists investors buying near a property and gets their contacts. If you pull lists anyway, this replaces Skip Genie and your list source in one bill. More in our PropStream review.

2. REISkip — best with no monthly fee

REISkip lists 15¢ per match, labeled introductory pricing, with a 50-match minimum on its Bulk tier and 1,001 on Volume; larger accounts get custom pricing. You pay for matches, not rows uploaded, and there’s no subscription on the pricing page. That suits the wholesaler who traces a list every few weeks and doesn’t want $58 sitting idle. The pricing page doesn’t mention a DNC scrub or a hit rate, so plan to scrub elsewhere.

3. Propelio — lowest entry price

Propelio’s Free plan charges 10¢ per skip trace. Paid plans start at $29/mo ($21/mo billed annually) and list “Unlimited” single skip traces plus 500 free bulk traces, rising to 1,500 and 5,000 on the $49 and $98 plans. The pricing page doesn’t say whether the bulk allowance resets monthly, what a trace returns, or whether DNC flags are included, so check those before you move a big list. See our Propelio review.

4. BatchData — for API and enterprise volume

BatchData (which absorbed the old BatchSkipTracing) sells skip tracing plans from $2,000/mo for up to 100,000 traces, with DNC verification and a litigator scrub on every tier. It also offers pay-as-you-go per match, but its pricing page doesn’t publish that rate. It’s built for software companies and large teams, not someone replacing a $58 plan. Our BatchSkipTracing review covers what changed.

5. Deal Run (our product) — for tracing the buyers near one deal

Deal Run doesn’t trace lists you upload. You enter a property you have under contract, and it builds a ranked list of local landlords and flippers who recently bought near it, from public records, then skip traces their phones and emails. You can send the deal from your own Gmail or push the contacts to your CRM through Zapier; text blasts go out from your own number. Analyze ($29/mo) includes one disposition deal (lifetime, not monthly) with up to 100 buyers. Analyze + Sell ($99/mo, or $83/mo billed annually) covers 15 disposition deals a month with 100 skip-traced buyers per deal, skip tracing free; more buyers are $20 per extra 100. Or pay per deal: $2 to analyze, $20 with 100 buyers. Deal Run shows DNC and TCPA-litigator flags on traced contacts; see how skip tracing works in Deal Run.

Verdict: Pick Deal Run if what you’re tracing is cash buyers for a property you need to sell, and you’d rather not pull deed records and run the trace yourself; start on the Find Buyers page. Don’t pick it for seller lists, probate, heirs or anything you want to upload as a spreadsheet; Skip Genie, REISkip or PropStream do that and Deal Run doesn’t.

If You’re Tracing Cash Buyers: Do This Before Any Service

Most wholesalers who search for Skip Genie are trying to reach buyers for a deal. The service is the easy part. The steps around it decide whether you get usable numbers:

1. Pull recent investor purchases near the property, roughly the last 6–12 months, from county deed records or a data tool. Our guide to finding cash buyers for wholesaling covers where to look.
2. Use the owner’s mailing address, not the property address. Investors rarely live in the houses they buy.
3. Resolve LLCs to a person through the state’s business entity search before you trace, especially with a name-first tool like Skip Genie.
4. Remove duplicates. Active buyers show up several times, and duplicates get billed.
5. Scrub for Do Not Call and litigators before you call or text. Our guide to verifying skip trace data covers the checks; it’s practical guidance, not legal advice.

Does Skip Genie scrub numbers for Do Not Call?

Yes, as an optional add-on. Skip Genie can scrub numbers against state, national and litigation DNC lists, but it doesn't publish the price of the scrub. PropStream and BatchData include DNC and litigator flags at no extra charge.

How accurate is Skip Genie?

Skip Genie doesn't publish a hit rate. Its FAQ says "We don't quote a percentage" and warns that numbers can be outdated or belong to an associate. Test it yourself: trace 50 people whose numbers you already know and count how many come back right.

If you trace a list every few weeks, REISkip charges 15 cents per match with no subscription listed (50-match minimum).

Can Skip Genie find cash buyers for my wholesale deal?

Not by itself. Skip Genie traces names you already have.

Tools such as PropStream's Investor Outreach add-on and Deal Run (our product) find nearby investors and trace them in one step.
