Why people look past LoopNet
Nothing on the record flags a reason to move. LoopNet has a free tier. People still switch over fit and workflow, and those are not things a catalogue entry can measure, which is what the comparisons below are for.
What each alternative does differently
Ordered by the aggregated rating on each catalogue entry. Differences are drawn from price, pricing model, tier count and rating, the fields the category listing carries. For a feature-level difference, follow the head-to-head link on each card: those pages read both full records.

What you would be giving up
LoopNet is most often brought in for a broker wanting one listing to reach both general public searchers and costar professional subscriber base without a second payment, a property owner marketing a for-sale or for-lease asset who wants syndication across 150+ partner sites from a single listing, a tenant or investor searching for available commercial space for free without needing a paid account, a brokerage comparing loopnet advertising spend against its overall costar data subscription, since both are owned by the same company. Anything replacing it has to cover the ones you actually depend on, and a cheaper tool that misses one of them is not cheaper.
Two things this page cannot settle. It compares on price, model, tier count and rating, because those are the fields the category listing carries, feature-level differences need both full records, which is what the head-to-head pages load. And the ratings are third-party aggregates imported with each entry rather than reviews written here, so a 0.2 difference between two tools is noise rather than a finding.
If LoopNet is broadly right and the question is cost, the LoopNet pricing breakdown covers every tier and what each one adds. If you want the whole field rather than a shortlist, the Real Estate category lists everything the directory holds, and best real estate tools ranks them.
LoopNet runs on web, ios, android. Platform coverage is not carried on the category listing for the alternatives, so it is one more thing to check on each head-to-head page rather than here.
