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 aren't competing for the same job. I built PropScored to scrape county filings daily across Georgia and hand you county-verified motivated-seller leads. BatchLeads appends and skip-traces off lists that refresh on their own schedule, not the county's. If you want leads tied to a real, confirmed reason someone needs to sell, PropScored wins that comparison every time.
BatchLeads runs on the same model most batch platforms do: pull from a third-party data warehouse, refresh every 30-90 days, hope the list is still warm. I skip the warehouse. PropScored scrapes 11 distress signal types straight from county sources every single day, and every lead ties back to an actual public-record filing, a bankruptcy, a pre-foreclosure notice, a lien, not a predictive score guessing who might sell. Coverage right now runs metro Atlanta counties across Georgia: DeKalb, Gwinnett, Cobb, Fulton, Cherokee, Forsyth, Hall, Henry, Clayton.
I timestamped 1,142 filings and measured the gap myself. Median time from public-record filing to a sourced lead: 2 days. Bankruptcy filings surface in 1 day. Pre-foreclosures in 3. Liens take longer, 7 days, since county lien lists land as periodic bulk loads instead of a daily feed. Set that against BatchLeads' 30-90 day refresh cycle and the math isn't close, that's the difference between calling a seller first and calling them fourth. Full breakdown on data freshness.
This is where sourcing method turns into real dollars saved on skip tracing. Across 5,265 sourced prospects, 84% of PropScored leads carry a verified phone or email, 69% a phone, 64% an email, many with both. Break it down by source and it gets better: FSBO hits 96%, liens 97%, pre-foreclosure 95%. Expired listings run 82%, tax delinquent 81%. Batch platforms hand you names and addresses; you still have to skip-trace before you can dial anyone.

| Price | $149/mo flat, 14-day free trial | Varies by list volume |
BatchLeads sells you batch lists that sit for 30-90 days before refresh, which means you're skip-tracing and cold-dialing names other agents already burned through. PropScored scrapes daily, median 2 days from filing to lead, because leads contacted within 1 hour are 7× more likely to qualify than one hour later. A bankruptcy filing or a pre-foreclosure notice beats a guess every time. Add the full county-verified dataset, 84% contactable, and scored, owner-verified data for $149/mo, and it's not a close call.
Every PropScored customer gets the full metro-Atlanta dataset, no zip limits, for one flat price. And every lead is county-verified, tied to a real public-record filing, not a batch-refreshed guess. BatchLeads hands you names off a list that refreshes on its own schedule, not the county's, the same list can land in a dozen inboxes on the same morning. If you want data you can actually trust, that difference matters more than any feature on a spec sheet. 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."
Working Georgia counties and want fewer leads that actually pick up the phone? That's PropScored's model, see coverage details for Georgia sellers or explore distressed seller leads generally. Need massive national list volume for cold outbound at scale? BatchLeads still has a role as a supplementary tool there.
