Skipmatch vs DataZapp: phone append vs real estate skip tracing
As of Sept 2026, DataZapp lists $0.03 a match pay-as-you-go with a $125 minimum, and $0.025 or $0.02 on $1,000 or $2,000 prepaid plans (datazapp.com/pricing (opens in a new tab)). Its prepaid rates are below Skipmatch's price of $0.03 a record at any list size. The difference is in kind: phone append against property-owner skip tracing.

The short answer
Its prepaid rates, $0.025 and $0.02 a match, are below Skipmatch's per-record price. Its pay-as-you-go rate of $0.03 a match is the same as Skipmatch's $0.03 a record. DataZapp bills only matches, so on the same list it comes to less whenever some records do not match, once its $125 minimum order is met.
What separates the two is what each is built for. DataZapp sells phone and email append: a list of names and addresses goes in, and phones and emails come back for the records it matches, billed per match. Skipmatch is built for property lists: an owner name with a mailing or property address goes in, and up to 10 phones per owner, each labelled mobile, landline or VoIP, plus emails, come back next to your own columns, at one per-record price quoted for the whole list before you pay.

- What it is. Phone and email append service (name and address in, phone and email out).
- Per match. Every price on the page is per match. It does not state a separate policy for records that come back without one.
- No subscription. You pay as you go or prepay; neither is a monthly plan.
- Minimum order. $125 on pay-as-you-go, which at $0.03 a match is 4,167 matches. The prepaid plans have no minimum order; the prepayment itself is $1,000 or $2,000.
What Skipmatch publishes
One price per matched record: $0.03 a record at any list size. Every record in the order is priced at that one rate. The quote is shown before you pay, and, if you pay by card, a hold for that amount is placed on your card at checkout; it is the most the list can cost. Minimum charge $0.50 when any record matches.
- No subscription, no prepayment and optional prepaid credit. Each order is 50 to 100,000 rows.
- Each list is paid by card or prepaid credit as its own order.
Append vs skip trace: input, output, line types, sample file
Both start from a name and an address, so the line between them is thinner than the names suggest. The difference is what each one is built around.
What you upload
DataZapp: Phone and email append service (name and address in, phone and email out). Skipmatch takes a CSV of property owners: the owner's first and last name (or one full-name column, split on the last space), plus one complete address block, street, city, state and ZIP, for the owner's mailing address, the property's address, or both. On a property list those two addresses are often different, which is why the upload has a place for each. Mailing address vs property address. Headers from common list exports and county files are matched on upload, and you can point any column at the right field. How it works.
What comes back
Skipmatch returns your file with every column you uploaded, unchanged and in order, followed by:
- Phone1 to Phone10: up to 10 numbers per owner.
- Phone1Type to Phone10Type: the line type of each number, mobile, landline or VoIP. What the line types mean.
- Email1 to Email3: emails where the record has them.
- HitFlag: HIT when the row came back with at least one phone or email, MISS when it did not.
- A record status for each row.
See the sample file: a ten-row list going in and the same rows coming back, with invented records.
DataZapp returns phones and emails for the records it matches. This page does not quote its output columns or whether it labels line types; its own site is the place to check that.
Cost at 5,000 and 25,000 records: matches vs records
The two count different things. Skipmatch prices every record in the list, and its figure is the most the list can cost: the amount held on your card at checkout. DataZapp prices each match, so its figures are what the list costs if every record matched, and the pay-as-you-go column shows the match count at or below which it comes to less than Skipmatch.
| Records | Skipmatch, at most | DataZapp pay-as-you-go, every record matches | DataZapp pay-as-you-go costs less at | DataZapp $1,000 prepaid plan, every record matches | DataZapp $2,000 prepaid plan, every record matches |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5,000 | $150.00 ($0.03) | $150.00 ($0.03) | 4,999 or fewer matches | $125.00 ($0.025) | $100.00 ($0.02) |
| 25,000 | $750.00 ($0.03) | $750.00 ($0.03) | 24,999 or fewer matches | $625.00 ($0.025) | $500.00 ($0.02) |
When DataZapp is the better fit
- When price per match decides it. On published prices it is lower, as the tables above show.
- Large volumes you are ready to prepay. $2,000 up front buys matches at $0.02 each, enough for 100,000.
- Orders that clear its minimum. From 4,167 matches up, pay-as-you-go needs no prepayment and costs $0.03 a match.
- Lists that are not property lists. DataZapp lists its input as a name and an address. Skipmatch's upload is built around property owners, with a place for both a mailing and a property address.
Skipmatch's case is the one in the short answer above, plus no prepayment: each list is quoted and paid as its own order. On a short list the whole bill can also come out smaller: for any list of 4,166 records or fewer, Skipmatch's quote is under DataZapp's $125 pay-as-you-go minimum.
