Question 1

What's the difference between Starter and Pro?

Accepted Answer

Starter and Pro use fundamentally different models. Starter ($49/mo) is credit-based — you get 1 auction credit per month that rolls over for up to 12 months. Each credit permanently unlocks full enrichment for one specific auction. Pro ($179/mo) is geographic — you get unlimited access to all auctions in one state, plus advanced features like saved searches, email alerts, side-by-side comparison, and historical data. If you attend auctions in one state regularly, Pro pays for itself quickly.

Question 2

Can I cancel my subscription at any time?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can cancel at any time from your account settings. Your subscription remains active through the end of the billing period — we don't issue partial refunds. After cancellation you'll drop to the Free tier with no data loss for properties you've already saved.

Question 3

How does annual pricing work?

Accepted Answer

Annual plans are billed as a single upfront payment and save you about 17% compared to monthly billing. Starter annual is $468/yr (equivalent to $39/mo), Pro annual is $1,788/yr (equivalent to $149/mo), and Team annual is $3,948/yr (equivalent to $329/mo). You can switch between monthly and annual at any time; switching to annual takes effect at your next billing cycle.

Question 4

Which counties are covered?

Accepted Answer

AuctionSift currently covers tax deed and tax lien auctions nationwide, with enriched property data available for counties where assessor data is publicly accessible. Coverage depth varies by county — the auction calendar shows all counties, but enrichment (scoring, financials, imagery) is available for supported counties only. New counties are added regularly, and Pro and Team subscribers get priority enrichment on newly requested counties.

Question 5

How fresh is the property data?

Accepted Answer

Auction calendars are updated as soon as counties publish their sale lists, typically 2-4 weeks before the auction. Property enrichment data (assessor records, AVM, flood zones) is refreshed at least once per auction cycle. Satellite imagery and Street View are sourced from Google and may lag real-world changes by several months.

Question 6

How do auction credits work?

Accepted Answer

Starter includes 1 auction credit per month. Credits roll over for up to 12 months — so if you don't use one month's credit, it's available next month. Use a credit to permanently unlock all enriched data for a specific auction. You can also purchase additional credits for $39 each; these purchased credits never expire.

Question 7

What happens to unused credits if I cancel?

Accepted Answer

Credits expire when your subscription ends. Use them before canceling to get the most value. Previously unlocked auctions remain permanently accessible in your account even after cancellation — you won't lose access to data you've already unlocked.

Question 8

Can I try the data before paying?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Free tier gives you access to the nationwide auction calendar, county regulation guides, pre-auction property counts, and sample property cards (3-5 per auction) so you can evaluate data quality before committing. The interactive map is also available in preview mode on Free.

Question 9

How does geographic pricing work for Pro?

Accepted Answer

Pro includes all auctions in one state of your choice. Need more coverage? Add additional states for $49/mo each. You can change your included state once per billing cycle — useful if you're targeting a new market.

Question 10

Does Team pricing include 5 seats?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Team plan includes up to 5 seats at the flat rate of $399/mo (or $3,948/yr). There is no per-seat add-on pricing at this time. If you need more than 5 seats, contact us to discuss an enterprise arrangement.
