ARGUS Enterprise and Rockport VAL are both software for modeling a commercial property's cash flow and valuing it from that cash flow. ARGUS, from Altus Group, is the established name and now sits inside a wider subscription with portfolio and tenant tools. Rockport VAL is a cloud-based product that says it imports ARGUS exports and lists unlimited valuations and scenarios. Neither publishes a price. Pick ARGUS if your counterparties expect its files. Pick Rockport VAL if a cloud tool with an open API and no stated usage caps matters more.

ARGUS Enterprise, from Altus Group's site
Altus calls ARGUS Enterprise "a leading commercial property valuation and cash flow forecasting software solution," now part of the ARGUS Intelligence Platform. It lists Asset Manager, Portfolio Manager and Tenant Analytics modules, and an AI chat called ARGUS Assist that draws on credits. Benchmark Manager is a paid add-on. Pricing is described as flexible and tiered, based on assets, with unlimited seats on the main subscription. Brokers and service providers can use a seat-based option.
Rockport VAL, from Rockport's site
Rockport describes VAL as "cloud-based commercial real estate valuation software built for the way valuation professionals work today." It lists scenario comparison, debt modeling, lease-by-lease detail and an audit trail, covers all asset classes, and says users can import ARGUS exports. It promises "no hidden fees" and unlimited valuations and scenarios. We could not confirm the price, a trial, or the API's scope.
Who should pick which
- Teams whose lenders, auditors or buyers expect ARGUS files: ARGUS Enterprise, since its model is the format others read.
- Appraisal and review shops that want a cloud tool and room to run many scenarios: Rockport VAL is worth a trial request, since it lists unlimited valuations and imports ARGUS exports.
- Large portfolios needing tenant analytics and benchmarking: ARGUS lists Tenant Analytics and a paid Benchmark Manager.
- Anyone who works on Safari: ARGUS states its products are not compatible with it.
Where Titleman fits
Titleman does not model a lease-by-lease cash flow, and it is not a replacement for either tool. It sits before them: from an address it assembles the parcel, comps and documents and returns a value opinion or underwriting where each input shows its source and date and each result shows its formula. The median value opinion took about 42 minutes (43 finished and charged runs, 30 days to 11 October 2026). Its memo does not state a final price or verdict. See valuation software vs appraisal software and alternatives to ARGUS.
What neither replaces
- A signed appraisal, where a lender, court or standard requires one.
- The valuer's judgment on rents, vacancy and cap rates.
- Title, legal and environmental diligence.
