BatchLeads vs PropStream

BatchLeads: What It Does Well

BatchLeads built its reputation on two things: a clean interface for pulling property data, and integrated features like driving for dollars and direct mail campaigns. The platform made it easy for wholesalers to find properties, skip trace the owners, and launch outreach — all from one dashboard.

Since being acquired by PropStream, BatchLeads’ features have been integrated into the larger PropStream ecosystem, giving users access to a broader dataset and additional tools.

BatchLeads vs PropStream: What Changed After the Merger

The Merger Timeline

In 2024, BatchLeads was acquired by PropStream’s parent company. The two platforms — which had been direct competitors in the wholesale real estate data space — began merging into a single ecosystem. BatchLeads’ core features (driving for dollars, integrated skip tracing, direct mail campaigns) were folded into PropStream’s interface, and existing BatchLeads subscribers were migrated to PropStream accounts.

The result is a single platform under the PropStream brand that combines both toolsets. If you were a BatchLeads user, your workflow changed — the interface is different, the navigation is different, and some BatchLeads-specific UX was replaced by PropStream’s approach.

What BatchLeads Users Lost (and Gained)

What you gained: Access to PropStream’s larger nationwide property dataset, comparable sales engine, and additional filtering options that weren’t in the original BatchLeads platform.

What you lost: The standalone BatchLeads interface that many wholesalers preferred for its simplicity. Some workflow-specific features were restructured to fit PropStream’s architecture, which meant a learning curve for existing users.

What didn’t change: The combined platform is still fundamentally a self-serve data tool. You still search for properties, filter by criteria, export lists, and pay per-record for skip tracing. The subscription stayed at $99/month, but skip tracing, direct mail, and other add-ons still cost extra on top.

Why Wholesalers Are Looking for Alternatives

The merger consolidated two DIY platforms into one — but it didn’t solve the core problem that both platforms shared: they deliver raw data, not analyzed leads. Whether you use PropStream, the old BatchLeads, or the merged platform, you’re still spending 28-40 hours per month on list building, data cleanup, equity analysis, and skip tracing.

Done-for-you lead packages with equity classification eliminate that entire workflow. Instead of spending your time in a database, you spend it on the phone with sellers — where the deals actually happen. For a detailed cost comparison, see our DIY vs done-for-you cost analysis.

Where BatchLeads Falls Short

Like PropStream, BatchLeads is fundamentally a self-serve data platform. You’re still responsible for:

• Searching and filtering leads yourself
• Paying per-record skip tracing fees on top of your subscription
• Manually analyzing equity positions and deciding on offer strategies
• Building your own property analysis documents for your team
• Spending hours each week on list management and data cleanup

The driving-for-dollars feature is genuinely useful for finding off-market properties, but it’s a completely different lead generation method than what EquityTier provides.

How EquityTier Is Different

EquityTier eliminates the list-building workflow entirely. Instead of spending hours in a platform searching, filtering, and skip tracing, you get a complete lead package delivered to you:

Every lead comes with equity tier classification (Free & Clear, High Equity, Moderate, or Low/No Equity), a recommended offer strategy, a branded PDF property report, and a master spreadsheet with full financial data. Contact information is included — no per-record skip tracing charges.

When to Choose EquityTier Over BatchLeads

If your core need is motivated seller leads for cold calling and deal-making, EquityTier delivers a better product with zero time investment. If you specifically need driving-for-dollars functionality, direct mail integration, or want a self-serve platform for ad-hoc research, BatchLeads/PropStream may be the better fit. Many investors use both.
