MicroBilt does not publish a rate card. Pricing is set through a contract process after a credentialing review, and the inputs that drive the number — permissible use, data tier, volume commitment — are determined before any price is quoted.
Disclosure: Scout Data is our product; treat that entry as a maker's pitch and the rest as our honest read.
What MicroBilt is and who it serves
MicroBilt is a B2B data services company offering credit data, identity verification, and locate services. Its primary customers are collections agencies, lenders, employers, and tenant screeners — businesses that operate under permissible-use frameworks like the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) or the Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act (GLBA).
That customer profile matters for pricing research because it sets the access question first. MicroBilt's restricted data layers — those with credit indicators and FCRA-covered fields — are not available to a general purchaser. The vendor needs to know whether you qualify before any price discussion starts. For most home-services and solar outbound teams, the answer on the restricted data is no, which makes the pricing conversation moot before it begins.
What drives a MicroBilt quote
For organisations that do qualify, the price is assembled from several inputs that the vendor weighs after the credentialing process:
| Input | Effect on the quote |
|---|---|
| Permissible use and data tier | Determines which data products are available at all; FCRA- and GLBA-covered data carries compliance obligations that raise cost |
| Search vs report type | A basic identity locate and a full credit-linked report are separate products at separate prices; a quote that looks low may simply have fewer data layers enabled |
| Committed monthly volume | Higher commitments reduce the per-unit rate and introduce a monthly minimum that applies even in slow periods |
| Contract term | Longer terms generally lower the rate; shorter terms carry a higher per-unit cost and less flexibility |
MicroBilt does not publish list pricing, so this page quotes no figures. Confirm current terms with the vendor, and with our sales team for Scout Data.
The minimum matters as much as the rate
Negotiating hard on the per-search rate and then signing a monthly minimum sized to your busy season is the standard mistake in this category. The minimum is charged in quiet months too. If your volume is seasonal — storm restoration is the obvious example in home services — model the contract against your three slowest months, not your best quarter. A slightly higher per-unit rate with a lower floor frequently costs less over a full year, and it is the term least likely to come up unless you raise it.
How to compare it against the field
Because MicroBilt does not publish rates, a paper comparison is not available. What is available is a sample run: take a few hundred real records through each platform during evaluation and score resolution and right-party connects rather than vendor-reported match rate. The same no-rate-card logic applies to the neighbouring credentialed platforms: idiCORE pricing, TLOxp pricing, and Accurint pricing are all assembled the same way — contract after credentialing, rate set by your profile.
To turn any quoted rate into a number you can compare across vendors, the metric that matters is cost per dialable contact — total spend for the run divided by records that returned a working number matched to the current owner. The best skip tracing software guide covers how the major B2B locate and skip-trace providers differ for that use case.
Where Scout Data fits
List Builder is not a credentialed investigative or credit platform. It handles the volume outbound case: which homeowners to call, and a number that reaches them. Audiences come from live property signals — storm exposure, permit activity, roof and system age, ownership change — and ship with phones matched by name to the owner of record, scrubbed against the federal do-not-call registry before delivery, with dead numbers replaced. Because no FCRA- or GLBA-governed data is involved, there is no credentialing review, and pricing is per record rather than per search. The same graph is available per-record through the API.
Frequently asked questions
Does MicroBilt publish its prices?
No. MicroBilt is a B2B data services company that sells through a contract process, not a self-serve checkout. There is no public rate card. Pricing depends on which data products and permissible uses your organisation qualifies for, your committed volume, and your contract term — all determined during the sales and credentialing process.
What is MicroBilt used for?
MicroBilt primarily serves collections agencies, lenders, employers, and tenant screeners — businesses with permissible purposes under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) or the Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act (GLBA). Its core products cover credit data, identity verification, and locate services. It is not designed as a mass-outbound marketing list provider, and general sales prospecting is typically not a qualifying permissible use for its restricted data layers.
Can a roofing or solar company use MicroBilt for outbound calling lists?
Unlikely. MicroBilt's FCRA- and GLBA-governed data is sold to credentialed businesses in regulated verticals — collections, lending, tenant screening — not to companies building homeowner dial lists. General sales prospecting and outbound marketing are not standard qualifying permissible uses for its restricted data. A roofing or solar company looking for bulk homeowner phones is shopping in the wrong category.
