Short answer
Lowest published unit prices, as of Sept 2026. With no plan: Tracerfy at $0.02 per credit (pay-as-you-go; a normal skip trace uses 1 credit per hit), DataZapp at $0.03 per match (pay-as-you-go, $125 minimum order) and DataSkip at $0.04 per hit (any volume, from a prepaid balance). Inside a paid plan or a prepayment: BatchData at about $0.007 per record (on its $20,000 a month Enterprise plan for 3,000,000 records, used in full) and Tracerfy at $0.01 per credit (on its largest monthly plan, $3,000 for 300,000 credits).
Those are not the same unit. A per-hit or per-match price bills only the records that return a result; a per-record or per-row price bills every row; a credit is whatever the company says one search uses. The same number can mean a different bill, so the table below works every price out to a total for the same list.
Where Skipmatch is not the low price. At any list size Skipmatch charges $0.03 a record. Tracerfy publish a lower price with no plan; BatchData, Land Portal and DataZapp do inside a paid plan or prepayment. If your lists are small, price those first.
- 10,000 records: Tracerfy ($200.00) comes in below Skipmatch, which is at most $300.00. So do DealMachine ($99 a month for 10,000 data credits a seat), BatchLeads ($119 a month for 10,000 leads), Propwire ($119 a month for 10,000 skip traces) and REsimpli ($299 a month for 10,000 skip tracing credits) if the list fits that plan's monthly allowance.
- 25,000 records: Tracerfy ($500.00) comes in below Skipmatch, which is at most $750.00. So do BatchLeads ($349 a month for 35,000 leads) and DealMachine ($599 a month for 100,000 records in a package) if the list fits that plan's monthly allowance.
- 100,000 records: Tracerfy ($1,500.00) and DataZapp ($2,000.00) come in below Skipmatch, which is at most $3,000.00. So do DealMachine ($599 a month for 100,000 records in a package) and BatchData ($2,000 a month for 100,000 records) if the list fits that plan's monthly allowance.
Cost per 10,000, 25,000 and 100,000 records
Each service's published price worked out to a total for the same list, ordered by the 10,000-record figure. Result-billed prices are worked as if every record returned a result, which is the most such a list can cost; a list with misses costs less on those services. Where a service publishes more than one option, the lowest one for that size is used and named under the figure.

| DataSkip | $0.04 per hit, any volume | $400.00 | $1,000.00 | $4,000.00 | Every record hits. Only hits are billed, so a list with misses costs less. The optional membership's free daily skips are not counted. | |

It is not a current price: a new buyer is on the current plans, which bundle phones and emails with saved leads (see Plan allowances). | |

| Bulk Skip Trace | $0.14 down to $0.08 per credit by volume band, charged per match | $1,000.00 | $2,500.00 | $10,000.00 | Every record matches. Its pricing FAQ gives a whole order one rate by its record count, and that rate is used. The new-customer deposit match is not counted. | |

| SmartSkip | $0.15 per row, bulk search | $1,500.00 | $3,750.00 | $15,000.00 | Every row is counted. The same rate applies on the free Basic account and the $50 a month Premium plan. | |
| Accurate Append (mobile append) | $0.15 per match under 25,000 matches, falling with volume | $1,500.00 | Not priced | Not priced | Every record matches. The rate falls to $0.05 at its top tier; the tiers from 25,000 matches up were not recorded, so larger sizes are not priced. |
Per record, per match, per hit, per row: why the unit changes the bill
- Per record: every row in the order is priced, whatever comes back for it. You know the most a list can cost before you run it. Skipmatch prices per matched record: $0.03 a record.
- Per row: the same idea; each row submitted is counted, found or not.
- Per match and per hit: two words for one idea. Only rows that return a result are billed, under each company's own definition of a result.
- Per credit: a balance you buy first. Check how many credits one search uses and whether a miss uses any.
- Per contact: counted per phone or email returned, usually on top of a plan. A record with several phones can count more than once.
So a per-match price above Skipmatch's per-record price can still cost less, if enough of the list misses. The table below is the break-even: the share of the list that has to match before each result-billed price costs as much as Skipmatch at that size. It is arithmetic on two published prices, not a match rate for anyone.
| Service | 10,000 records (Skipmatch $0.03) | 25,000 records (Skipmatch $0.03) | 100,000 records (Skipmatch $0.03) |
|---|---|---|---|
| DataSkip | Lower if under 75% of the list matches | Lower if under 75% of the list matches | Lower if under 75% of the list matches |
| Tracerfy | Lower whatever share matches | Lower whatever share matches | Lower whatever share matches |
| DataZapp | Lower whatever share matches | Lower whatever share matches | Lower whatever share matches |
| Bulk Skip Trace | Lower if under 30% of the list matches | Lower if under 30% of the list matches | Lower if under 30% of the list matches |
| SkipMatrix | Lower if under 25% of the list matches | Lower if under 30% of the list matches | Lower if under 50% of the list matches |
| Accurate Append | Lower if under 20% of the list matches | Not priced | Not priced |
Minimums and plan floors
A low unit price can come with a minimum order or a monthly fee that decides the bill on a small list. DataZapp's $125 pay-as-you-go minimum order is more than the most Skipmatch charges for any list under 4,167 records. A monthly fee is due whether or not you trace that month, which is why the cost table adds one month of it.
| Service | Smallest spend to start | Subscription | Source |

Plan allowances
Some platforms include a monthly allowance of skip traces, records, or leads with contacts in a plan fee. They are not in the cost table because the allowance comes bundled with a platform subscription. Every published plan is listed; a per-seat plan is counted at one seat. At each size, the plans here that cover the list for a monthly fee below Skipmatch's quote are named in the short answer above. If you use one of those platforms anyway and its allowance covers your list, that is a lower price at that size. Whether it does, and what one credit or lead buys, is set by each company's terms.

Is cheaper less accurate?
We will not answer that with a number, for anyone. Published match and hit rates are not comparable: each company counts a result its own way, and the rate a list gets depends on the list itself, such as how old it is, whether it has the owner's mailing address and how many owners are companies or trusts. This page quotes no company's rate, and Skipmatch publishes no average or headline match rate.
What the price unit does tell you is who carries the misses. On a per-hit or per-match price, a list that matches poorly costs less; on a per-record price every row is paid for, which is what the break-even table above measures. A Skipmatch match is a record that comes back with at least one phone number or email, with up to 10 phones per owner, each labelled mobile, landline or VoIP.
The fair test is your own: run the same few hundred records through two services and count the numbers that reach the owner. How to judge a skip tracing hit rate walks through it, and the sample result shows what a Skipmatch file looks like.
How we checked
Every price was read on the company's own pricing page, or the page its prices are published on, and each entry carries the day it was checked (, ). The year in this page's title stands only for prices re-checked that year; every entry is re-checked each quarter.
- Worked totals are arithmetic on the published prices, rounded down to the cent. Result-billed prices assume every record returns a result; per-contact prices assume one contact per record; plan-based figures include one month's fee, and the lowest published option for each size is used.
- No hit or match rate is assumed or quoted in these figures for any service, Skipmatch included.
- Left out: taxes, add-ons such as do-not-call scrubbing, free trials, deposit bonuses and free membership allowances.
- Skipmatch's figures come from the same price ladder checkout uses, and its quote is the most a list can cost. Skipmatch is one of the services compared. At each size, every service in the cost table or the plan allowances table that comes in below Skipmatch is named in the short answer.
