We are not going to pretend to know what EDA quotes you — it is negotiated, and it varies by seat count, territory and contract length. What is knowable is the shape of the market around it, and that shape is the useful part:

• Raw list brokers sell UCC records by the row, at pennies each. The file arrives dirty: the same lender under six spellings, the same lead re-sold to you next month.
• Mid-market prospecting tools publish rates — business-data suites with UCC selects sit in the low hundreds per month, and the closest named competitor in equipment finance publishes tiers in the high hundreds.
• The incumbent tier — EDA and its peers — is quote-only and, by consistent report from the brokers who have asked, lands in five figures a year.

That leaves a wide, empty band between the junk lists and the enterprise contract. A one-person brokerage does not need a five-figure platform; it needs this week’s filings in its state, clean, in a format its CRM will accept.

That number is on the page because hiding it is the thing buyers in this market complain about most. There is no demo to sit through, no discovery call, and no negotiation in which the price depends on how large your firm looks.

It is deliberately below where this will settle. Today the weekly file is prepared and sent for you rather than pulled from a dashboard, and the honest way to price that is cheaply — so subscribers who join now keep $99 for as long as they stay, through every state added and every feature that lands.

What we will not do is match EDA’s depth. Thirty-five years of national history is real and we do not have it. Four states, resolved properly, with the lapse clock running nightly, is what $99 buys.
