CAMAudit is the better fit for CAM auditing, finding overcharges, and preserving ROI. CoStar is better for lease accounting, portfolio administration, or enterprise systems work, not tenant-side CAM recovery.

CoStar is a market intelligence platform; it does not perform CAM audits
CoStar is built to track leases, compliance, or portfolio operations. CAMAudit is built to detect CAM billing errors against the actual reconciliation and surface overcharge dollars the tenant can act on.
CoStar typically brings subscription pricing, implementation effort, and internal admin overhead. CAMAudit wins on ROI for audit use cases because the tenant pays a flat fee only when they want to unlock findings.
CoStar usually needs onboarding, workflow setup, or internal ownership. CAMAudit is faster to value because it behaves like an audit workflow, not a system implementation.
