What is the alternative to CompStak for finding tenants before they go to market?
CompStak is for lease comps, so there is no reason to replace it if you price deals with it. Finding tenants before they go to market is a different job, and Scayled is built for it. From a property address, Scayled lists every business around it and businesses across the country whose operations fit its size, use and type, finds the person who decides at each, drafts the email, and tracks every occupier for signs it will need space, such as hiring, contract wins, new sites and lease events. CompStak tells you what the deal should cost; Scayled tells you who to call about it.

What does CompStak do?
CompStak collects lease and sales comps from brokers, appraisers and researchers. On CompStak Exchange, verified professionals submit comps to earn credits and spend credits to unlock others, at no cost; credits cannot be bought. Lease comps include starting rent, net effective rent, free rent, tenant improvement allowance and landlord work.
CompStak Enterprise is the paid product for landlords, lenders, investors and other non-brokers. Its pricing is not published.
Stay with CompStak if you price renewals, defend rents in a landlord pitch, or need lease evidence for a valuation.
Why are lease comps not a prospecting list?
A comp records a deal that has already happened. Lease expiry dates in comps help with timing, but every broker with the same data sees the same expiries at the same time, and many occupiers that will need space have no comp on record: smaller private businesses, owner-occupiers and companies whose growth will outrun their lease long before it ends.
Prospecting needs a different starting point: the property you have, the businesses that would suit it, and evidence about which of them are changing.
How does Scayled find tenants before they go to market?
Start with a Listing Scan: it maps every business near the address and attaches the person who decides on space plus a drafted email for each. Then run a Target Scan across the country for businesses whose operations fit the property's size, use and type, including the private firms and owner occupiers that never appear in a comp.
Every occupier found is tracked for hiring, contract wins, new sites, funding and lease events, shown on a map and a feed. That lets you start with the businesses that are moving, with a reason to write about them and the building, and send from your own inbox; everything stays in your own Occupier Database.
Scayled does not provide comps or rent evidence. That stays with CompStak or CoStar.
What other tools do brokers compare with CompStak?
For comps: CoStar, which combines comps with analytics and tenant records under a quoted subscription, and Crexi Intelligence and Reonomy for sales and ownership data in the US. In Australia, Cotality's Lease Expiry Diary lists lease expiry dates and tenant contacts for NSW and QLD CBD commercial tenants.
For finding occupiers, Scayled is the property-led option, and general contact databases such as Apollo and ZoomInfo hold people without any view of which businesses suit a building.
How do CompStak and Scayled fit together?
Use Scayled to find who to talk to and CompStak to know what the deal should look like when they reply. A tenant rep broker who reaches a growing occupier early can walk into the first meeting with rent evidence ready; a landlord broker can price the space and know which businesses to approach.
If an owner has one vacancy and wants the outreach done, The Campaign at /campaign builds the list, finds the decision-makers and writes the emails for one payment.
How do you try Scayled?
A CompStak user can request access to Scayled at scayled.com. One broker subscribes to Pro; teams pool a pot instead, the Team Plan covering 3 to 5 brokers and the Market Plan 6 to 10, each at a per-broker discount. For current prices, check /pricing.
Run it on a building where you already hold comps and see which occupiers around it, and across the market, are showing signs they will need space.
Find The Businesses That Need Space, And Know When.
Add a listing. Scayled finds the businesses most likely to lease or buy it, around the property and across your market, names the person who decides at each, drafts the outreach, then flags when they are likely to need space. Access is by request.
