The short version

  • Only LoopNet has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: LoopNet loopNet is owned by CoStar, the dominant CRE data provider, so paying for LoopNet placement indirectly reinforces a single company dominant position across both listings and data in commercial real estate.; Reonomy pricing is not published, and the sales process has become more enterprise-focused since the Altus Group acquisition, which reportedly makes it less accessible for smaller, self-service buyers than it once was.
  • They diverge on capability: LoopNet covers Free listing search, Reonomy covers Ownership records.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

LoopNet

  • LoopNet is owned by CoStar, the dominant CRE data provider, so paying for LoopNet placement indirectly reinforces a single company dominant position across both listings and data in commercial real estate.
  • Paid tiers scale from Silver at roughly $131 a month upward, and Gold and Platinum pricing is not published, making budget comparison against competitors like CREXi harder to do cleanly.
  • Because listing quality and exposure correlate with ad spend tier, owners and brokers who cannot justify higher tiers get less visibility even for genuinely strong properties.
  • As a marketplace dependent on the CoStar data ecosystem, any pricing, policy or antitrust exposure affecting CoStar Group (including the June 2026 price-fixing lawsuit naming major brokerages) has knock-on relevance for LoopNet advertisers.
  • Free searchers and casual browsers create high traffic volume that is not itself the paying customer, so lead quality for advertisers varies and includes non-serious enquiries.

Reonomy

  • Pricing is not published, and the sales process has become more enterprise-focused since the Altus Group acquisition, which reportedly makes it less accessible for smaller, self-service buyers than it once was.
  • It is a data and contact-sourcing tool, not a valuation platform, so firms needing DCF modelling still need ARGUS Enterprise or an equivalent separately, even though both are Altus Group products.
  • Coverage and data freshness for ownership and contact information vary by market, and off-market sourcing quality depends on how current that contact data actually is.
  • Shared ownership with ARGUS under Altus Group means a firm concentrating spend with both products has less independent competitive leverage across its CRE software and data budget.
  • As with any owner-contact database, deliverability and accuracy of contact information degrade over time, and there is no independent public benchmark of Reonomy data accuracy to check ahead of purchase.
