Acres.com alternative for land comps, list pricing and offers

LandPricer is an Acres.com alternative for land investors and acquisition teams who need a price on every row of a mailing list, not just a map of one parcel. Enter an APN or upload a county list and each parcel comes back with a market value from adjusted land comps, a High, Medium or Low confidence label and a max offer for your exit.

Keep Acres for the map, use LandPricer for the price on the list

Acres (acres.com) is a land research map from the team behind AcreTrader. It puts parcel lines, owner names, soils, flood and elevation layers, historic imagery, land for sale and a curated database of sold land in one nationwide subscription. Brokers, appraisers and buyers who study a parcel on screen get a lot of data for the money.

The gap shows up when the job is pricing hundreds or thousands of parcels at once. On the Acres pricing page (our Acres.com pricing post has the yearly totals), Pro at 124.99 USD a month (94.99 USD billed yearly) includes valuation reports, sold land data and KML or CSV export, but lead lists are a paid add on and skip tracing, handwritten letters and mortgage data sit on the custom priced Enterprise plan. The page does not list uploading your own list to get a value and an offer on every row.

LandPricer is built around that step. It finds recorded vacant land sales near each parcel, adjusts every comp for size, time, access, flood zone, wetlands, slope and utilities, shows each adjustment, labels the value by confidence and turns it into a max offer. Upload a CSV and the whole list comes back priced.

Why land investors look for an Acres.com alternative

  • 01

    Valuing one parcel at a time on a map does not scale to a 5,000 row county mailing

  • 02

    Lead lists cost extra on Pro and skip tracing sits on a custom priced plan, so the full workflow costs more than the headline price

  • 03

    A sold land database still leaves you to choose the comps and adjust them for road access, flood zone and acreage by hand

  • 04

    Nothing tells you which values rest on thin sales, so weak numbers get mailed next to strong ones

  • 05

    Many investors want the offer number, not another layer on the map

None of this makes Acres a weak product. For research on a parcel you are already looking at, it is one of the most complete land maps on the market. The question is where the number on the offer letter comes from.

How to price a list with LandPricer instead of parcel by parcel

  1. 1

    1. Export or buy the list

    Use any county list with APN, county and state, or with addresses or coordinates. A KML or CSV export from a map tool, a data vendor file or a county assessor download all work.

  2. 2

    2. Upload it to bulk pricing

    Drop the file into bulk land pricing. LandPricer matches each row to its parcel and pulls recorded land sales within 5 miles, widening to 30 miles where sales are thin.

  3. 3

    3. Sort by confidence

    Every row gets a value, a range, a confidence label and a LandPricer Score. Mail the High rows, review the Medium rows and check or drop the Low rows before printing.

  4. 4

    4. Send the offers

    Set the exit strategy and margin once. The max offer is filled in on every row and the priced file goes to your CRM or your mail house.

05

What adjusted comps change on rural and recreational land

Rural land sells in small numbers and every tract is different. A 40 acre wooded parcel with deeded road access and no flood zone is not worth the same per acre as a landlocked 40 next to it, even if both sold in the same county last year. A sold land map shows you both sales. It does not tell you how much to take off for the missing access.

LandPricer makes that call explicit. Each comp is adjusted for size, sale date, access, flood zone, wetlands, slope and utilities, and the adjustment is printed next to it, so a broker or lender can follow the number. The value comes with a 20th to 80th percentile range, and the confidence label drops to Medium or Low when sales are few, far away or old. In non-disclosure states such as Texas, Utah or Wyoming, LandPricer uses neighboring disclosure counties adjusted by USDA county land data and caps confidence at Medium, as explained in land comps in non-disclosure states. The full method is on the land comps page.

06

What a year costs, Acres Pro vs LandPricer Pro

Acres Pro is 94.99 USD a month billed yearly, about 1,140 USD a year, or 124.99 USD a month billed monthly. Lead lists are an add on with no price shown, and skip tracing needs Enterprise, which is quoted.

LandPricer Pro is 99 USD a month billed yearly, 1,188 USD a year, or 199 USD billed monthly. It includes 1,000 single valuations, 5,000 bulk pricing rows, 500 monitored parcels and 250 owner data and skip trace records a month, with 2 seats. At 5,000 rows a month that is about 2 cents a priced parcel. Solo investors who price fewer than 100 parcels a month can start on Investor at 39 USD a month billed yearly. Every plan and limit is on the pricing page.

A 3,000 letter campaign costs 1,800 to 3,000 USD in print and postage at 0.60 to 1.00 USD a letter. If one offer in five is far off the market, several hundred dollars of mail is wasted before the first callback, which is more than a month of either tool. The land flipping calculator shows the margin math behind each offer.

Acres.com alternative questions

What is the best alternative to Acres.com?

It depends on the job. For a value and offer on every parcel of a mailing list, LandPricer is the closest alternative because it returns adjusted land comps, a confidence label and a max offer per row. For a farmland map with soils and crop history, AcreValue is the usual comparison. For parcel lines and owner lookup on a phone, LandGlide and Regrid are the common picks.

How much does Acres.com cost?

Acres lists a free account with basic insights, Plus at 9.99 USD a month or 7.49 USD a month billed yearly, Pro at 124.99 USD a month or 94.99 USD a month billed yearly, and Enterprise at a custom price. Plus has a 7 day free trial. Lead lists are an add on and skip tracing is on Enterprise.

Is Acres Pro worth it for land investors?

Acres Pro is worth it if you research parcels one at a time on a map and want sold land data, valuation reports and data layers in one place. It is a weaker fit if you mail thousands of offers a month, because the pricing page does not list list uploads, confidence labels or offer math, and skip tracing needs Enterprise.

Does Acres.com have land comps?

Yes. Acres Pro includes a curated sold land database that Acres says is updated weekly, plus valuation reports and instant sales reports. You still choose and adjust the comps yourself. LandPricer adjusts each comp for access, flood zone, wetlands, slope, size and date and shows every adjustment next to the value.

Acres.com vs LandGlide, which is better?

LandGlide is a parcel and owner lookup app from 9.99 USD a month, built for field use on a phone. Acres covers similar owner lookup on Plus and adds sold land data and valuation reports on Pro. Neither publishes a confidence label or bulk list pricing, so investors who mail lists pair either one with a pricing tool. See our LandGlide alternative.

Can I use LandPricer with Acres.com?

Yes. Keep Acres for map research and owner lookup, export the parcels you want to mail as a CSV with APN, county and state, upload them to LandPricer and get a priced list back. LandPricer also reads addresses and coordinates, so most exports need no reformatting.
