Questions to ask any permit data vendor.
Each question below exists because a vendor's own published pages made it necessary. Ask them of everyone you evaluate, including us.
Construction Monitor's public site has no pricing page; purchase runs through a sales contact. Whoever you evaluate, get the full quote in writing before the second call.4
A weekly edition and an hourly leads tool can sit on top of a dataset that turns over far less often. Ask when the last full-dataset refresh landed and how you would verify it.2
Construction Monitor sells dedicated single-family, solar, and pool permit products. Ask what it costs when you need a fourth vertical next quarter.3
Their delivery options include REST API and FTP alongside the edition-and-tools workflow. Ask exactly which fields and volumes the API contract covers, and whether the records are yours to keep.2
Their site advertises address data with geocodes. Ask whether parcels, owners, contractor license history, and violations arrive joined to the permit, or whether that is your integration project.3
Where Construction Monitor beats us today
Construction Monitor has been doing this for decades, and some of what they offer we simply do not. Here is where they are ahead.
A curated weekly packet of local leads is a workflow thousands of contractors and suppliers already run their week on. If your team wants leads served, not data to process, that format is their home turf.
Their Real-time Leads tool advertises new leads added hourly. Our pipelines refresh daily; if intra-day latency on new filings is your hard requirement, they win this one today.
Powersearch, Top Company Reports, permit mapping, and statistics give a sales team a ready-made prospecting console. We deliver data and an API; the console is yours to build or bring.
Construction Monitor pricing vs DataJackpot pricing
Construction Monitor does not publish pricing on its public site; subscriptions are quoted through their sales team based on the geographies and products you select.
Also quoted per use case, but we make the evaluation easy: pick a state and a signal and we will send a real sample file first, so you know exactly what the records look like before pricing is even a conversation. See pricing →
Thirteen million more permits. Test that on your own market.
Pick a county and a permit type. We will pull a real sample so you can put our freshness and fill rates side by side with whatever you use today.
