CoStar plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.

What the product covers
The full CoStar feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.

- Property and ownership records

- Tenant and space data
- Market analytics
- STR hospitality data
- CoStar Real Estate Manager
People bring CoStar in for a commercial brokerage needing lease and sales comparables to support underwriting and pitch materials, an institutional investor or lender wanting standardised market analytics across submarkets for portfolio decisions, a corporate real estate team needing lease administration through costar real estate manager, an appraiser needing sourced, defensible comparable transaction data for valuation reports. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to CoStar are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in Real Estate
Too few real estate tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the CoStar badges page.
Before you pay for CoStar
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: a single tier at On request. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare CoStar against the tools that do have one before committing.
CoStar runs on web, and is published by CoStar Group of Arlington, Virginia, United States. The full record is on the CoStar review, and the rest of the category is under best real estate tools.
