PropStream sells access to a database that refreshes every 30-90 days. PropScored scrapes county records daily and hands you a contactable prospect within a median of 2 days of the filing.
The real alternative to PropStream isn't another batch list, it's a county-verified, daily-sourced service like PropScored. We turn public-record filings into contactable prospects in a median of 2 days. PropStream refreshes on a 30-90 day batch cycle. 84% of our prospects carry a verified phone or email.
PropStream and platforms like it pull county data on ~30-90 day refresh cycles. By the time that list update lands in your CRM, a pre-foreclosure notice could be weeks old, and the homeowner has probably already signed with someone else. I scrape every source daily. Across 1,142 timestamped filings, the median time from public-record filing to a sourced lead is 2 days. Bankruptcy filings surface in 1 day. Pre-foreclosure in 3. Liens take 7, county lien lists are the one exception, since they arrive as periodic bulk loads instead of daily feeds. Full breakdown on data freshness.
Speed means nothing if the phone doesn't connect. Across 5,265 sourced prospects, 84% carry a verified phone or email, 69% a phone, 64% an email, many with both. Contactability shifts by signal type: FSBO hits 96%, liens 97%, pre-foreclosure 95%, expired listings 82%, tax delinquent 81%. Batch skip traces rot the longer a list sits unrefreshed, and that's exactly the dead zone PropStream's 30-90 day cycle creates.
"I stopped comparing platforms on record count and started comparing them on how many numbers actually connect. That's the number that fills my pipeline."

PropStream sells a bulk dump refreshed every 30-90 days. I deliver the full metro-Atlanta dataset, sourced fresh. Every lead ties back to an actual public-record filing, not a predictive model guessing at who might list. Each prospect is county-record verified. You receive the scored, owner-verified data and work it yourself, with managed outreach available as an optional bespoke add-on on request. One flat plan, $149/mo for the entire dataset, with a 14-day free trial, cancel anytime.
