BatchLeads vs PropStream: Which Is Better for Wholesalers?

BatchLeads and PropStream are two of the most popular tools for real estate investors, but they serve different primary purposes. PropStream is a property data platform — it gives you access to 150+ million property records with filters for building targeted lists. BatchLeads is a lead generation platform — it combines property data with driving for dollars, skip tracing, and multi-channel outreach (SMS, email, direct mail). Understanding this distinction is key to choosing the right tool.

Feature comparison

BatchLeads: best for lead generation

BatchLeads excels at the acquisition side of wholesaling. Its driving-for-dollars app is the best in the market — photograph distressed properties from your car, and the app pulls owner info and adds them to your outreach pipeline automatically. Combined with built-in skip tracing and SMS/email outreach, BatchLeads is an end-to-end lead generation machine.

Pricing: $79/month (Starter), $149/month (Growth), $299/month (Enterprise). Higher tiers include more skip trace credits and outreach features.

Limitation: BatchLeads is acquisition-focused. Once you have a deal under contract, it does not help you find buyers, analyze the deal, or market the property. You need a separate tool for disposition.

PropStream: best for property data

PropStream is the property data standard. Its 150+ million record database with 120+ filters lets you build highly targeted lists: absentee owners, pre-foreclosures, high equity, tax liens, code violations, and dozens more. The data is fresher and more comprehensive than most alternatives.

Pricing: $99/month flat. Skip tracing is an add-on charge per record.

Limitation: PropStream gives you lists and data, but no outreach tools (SMS, calling, email). No driving for dollars. No deal analysis beyond basic comps. No buyer search or disposition tools.

When to use each

• Choose BatchLeads if you run an active outbound acquisition campaign: driving for dollars, cold calling/texting seller leads, and need integrated outreach.
• Choose PropStream if you need the best property data for building targeted lists (absentee, pre-foreclosure, high equity) and you handle outreach separately.
• Use both + Deal Run for the complete wholesale workflow: PropStream or BatchLeads for finding deals, Deal Run for analyzing deals, finding buyers, and marketing properties.

The missing piece: disposition

Both BatchLeads and PropStream focus entirely on helping you find deals. Neither one helps you sell them. For the complete wholesale workflow, pair your acquisition tool with a disposition platform:

• Deal Run ($99/mo) — identifies active investors near your deal, skip traces them, builds buyer lists, and creates professional deal marketing pages. Also includes AI-powered deal analysis.
• InvestorLift ($497+/mo) — marketplace where buyers browse and bid on deals. Larger buyer network but significantly higher cost.
• InvestorBase ($249/mo) — buyer identification from public records. Similar investor search to Deal Run but no built-in outreach or deal marketing.
