A side-by-side look at how a daily-sourced, county-verified lead service stacks up against a batch data and skip-tracing platform.
PropScored and BatchLeads solve different problems: PropScored sources exclusive, county-verified motivated-seller leads by scraping public-record filings daily across Georgia and Florida, while BatchLeads is a data-append and skip-tracing platform built on periodically refreshed lists. For real, confirmed motivation, PropScored is the stronger fit.
BatchLeads, like most batch platforms, pulls from large third-party data warehouses that refresh on roughly 30-90 day cycles. PropScored instead scrapes 11 distress signal types directly from county sources every day, then confirms each lead against an actual public-record filing — a bankruptcy, a pre-foreclosure notice, a lien — rather than a predictive score. Coverage currently spans 15+ counties across Georgia and Florida, including DeKalb, Gwinnett, Cobb, Fulton, Cherokee, Forsyth, Hall, Henry, Clayton, Hillsborough FL, and Pinellas FL.
Across 1,142 timestamped filings, PropScored's median time from public-record filing to a sourced lead is 2 days. Speed varies by signal: bankruptcy filings surface in 1 day, pre-foreclosures in 3 days, and liens in 7 days — the one exception being county lien lists, which arrive as periodic bulk loads rather than daily feeds. Compare that to BatchLeads' 30-90 day refresh cycle, and the gap in who gets to a seller first is significant. See the full breakdown on data freshness.
Contactability is where sourcing method shows up in dollars spent on skip tracing. Across 5,265 sourced prospects, 84% of PropScored leads carry a verified phone or email (69% phone, 64% email). That rate climbs by source: FSBO sits at 96%, liens at 97%, and pre-foreclosure at 95%, while expired listings run 82% and tax delinquent 81%. Batch platforms typically require a separate skip-tracing step before contact info is usable at all.

PropScored sells access by zip code, and only one agent holds a given zip at a time. BatchLeads, like most data platforms, doesn't restrict who else can pull the same list — the same names can end up in a dozen inboxes. If exclusivity matters to your farm, that structural difference outweighs most feature comparisons. Related reading: PropStream alternatives agents discuss on Reddit.
"I used to spend Monday mornings scrubbing BatchLeads exports for numbers that actually worked. Now almost every prospect PropScored sends already has a verified phone or email attached, so I'm dialing by 8am instead of skip tracing."
Agents working Georgia and Florida counties who want fewer, better-verified leads with built-in contact info tend to prefer PropScored's model — see coverage details for Georgia sellers or explore distressed seller leads generally. Agents needing large national list volume for cold outbound at scale may still find BatchLeads useful as a supplementary tool.
