CoStar is the long-standing property database of record in commercial real estate: ownership history, comps, building specs, and lease abstracts for a specific building. BrokerHQ starts with a company instead of a building and tracks tenants: lease maturities, expansion plans, distress signals, public-filing data, and ownership changes. CoStar tells you about properties. BrokerHQ tells you about prospects."},{q:"When should a broker choose BrokerHQ over CoStar?",a:"Choose BrokerHQ when your top problem is which companies you should be calling next quarter rather than what the comp is on a building, when you want pricing published on the website instead of a long enterprise procurement cycle, and when you want tenant-level deal signals ranked by intent."},{q:"When should a broker choose CoStar?",a:"Choose CoStar when you need exhaustive property-level data such as comps, ownership, building specs, and listing history, when you are a listing broker, appraiser, researcher, or analyst whose job is property research, and when you have already budgeted for a category-leading data subscription."},{q:"Can you use BrokerHQ and CoStar together?",a:"Many brokerages do. CoStar is the property-level data of record and BrokerHQ is the tenant-level signal layer on top. Use BrokerHQ to find which companies are about to move, then use CoStar to research the buildings they are likely to target."},{q:"Does BrokerHQ publish its pricing?",a:"Yes. BrokerHQ publishes its tiers and offers a 30-day free trial with no credit card and no demo required. CoStar is quoted by its sales team and typically requires a demo."},{q:"How much does CoStar cost?",a:"There is no single CoStar price because contracts are custom. Vendr transaction data puts the average contract value at $15,130 per year with a range of $3,000 to $23,000, based on a sample of only 3 purchasers, so treat it as directional. Broker forum reports put the low end at $500 to $2,000 per month. CoStar Suite All Markets has been reported at about $40,000 per year for one license covering up to 3 users, described as a 44% discount off a $71,000 list price. Price varies with seats, submarket territory, data modules, and property types, and expanding from one city to multiple regions has been reported to carry a 40 to 50x multiplier. Contracts are annual and those issued after February 6, 2025 may include CPI-tied annual increases."}];function f(){return e.jsxs(l,{children:[e.jsx(n,{title:"BrokerHQ vs CoStar, AI Prospecting vs Market Data Platform | BrokerHQ",description:"CoStar is the leading CRE data platform.
