Both give you distressed-property data. The difference is the data itself: PropStream sells a shared, unscored export synced weeks ago. PropScored delivers the same records live, scored for motivation, the full dataset for one flat price, and with the current owner verified against the county record. (Want the outreach run for you too? That's an option, PropStream gives you DIY campaign tools, but never runs the outreach for you.)
PropStream aggregates distressed property records from county courthouses, tax assessors, and MLS feeds, but it does so in batches. The platform's data pipeline typically runs on a 2-4 week refresh cycle, meaning a pre-foreclosure filing that hit the county docket this week won't appear in PropStream until next month or later. By the time you download a list and get to outreach, the record can be 30 days old.
PropScored takes the opposite approach: every source is scraped daily, and across 1,142 timestamped filings the median lag from courthouse filing to a sourced lead is just 2 days, versus a batch refresh cycle measured in weeks. See the full data-freshness breakdown by signal and county →
That lag matters. A homeowner who received a foreclosure notice 30 days ago has already heard from every PropStream subscriber who pulled that market in the same cycle. They've received mail from investor wholesalers. They may have already listed, accepted an offer, or resolved the situation. The window that made them motivated has partially or fully closed.
"A pre-foreclosure notice is time-sensitive by definition. Working a 30-day-old list means you're having yesterday's conversation."
PropScored pulls directly from county public records as filings are recorded, pre-foreclosure notices, tax delinquency rolls, circuit court lis pendens filings, expired MLS listings. When a notice hits the county docket, PropScored picks it up within days, not weeks. Outreach begins while the seller's situation is still fresh and before the market has had a month to work the same list.
This isn't a minor timing difference. Motivated seller conversations are most productive in the window closest to the triggering event, when urgency is highest and the seller hasn't yet been exhausted by calls from other agents. Real-time sourcing preserves that window. Batch aggregation closes it.
PropStream hands every subscriber the same raw export, unscored, unranked, with no verification that the owner name is still current. You get a spreadsheet and you're on your own to figure out which records are worth a call, and whether the person listed still owns the house.
PropScored scores every lead by motivation, verifies the current owner against the live county record, and hands you the full metro-Atlanta dataset, county-verified, no zip limits, for one flat price. You're working confirmed filings, not a raw dump.
Because PropStream is an aggregated database refreshed in batches, the owner name attached to a property is only as current as the platform's last sync of that county, which can lag the real record by weeks or months. If the home changed hands, or a name was recorded incorrectly, you won't know until you're on the phone with the wrong person. Skip-tracing a stale owner name just gets you a verified number for someone who no longer owns the house.
PropScored re-verifies every lead against the live county tax assessor record at the moment it finds the property, not a database snapshot from last month. If ownership recently changed or the filing name was off, we catch and correct it before the lead ever reaches you. Current owner, confirmed against the county's own record.
PropScored sources the same distressed records PropStream users pull manually, pre-foreclosure filings, tax delinquency notices, expired MLS listings, probate, but captures them live from county records before PropStream's batch cycle picks them up, scores each one for motivation, verifies the current owner against the county record, and hands you the full county-verified dataset. That's the product: better data, delivered first. You work it yourself, the same way you'd work a PropStream export, only the data is scored and verified. If you'd rather not prospect it yourself, managed done-for-you outreach is available as an optional bespoke add-on, quoted on request. PropStream offers DIY marketing tools, postcards, a dialer, email, but you run those campaigns yourself; it doesn't manage the outreach for you.
What lands in your dashboard is a scored lead with the owner confirmed against the county record, the motivation source, and an equity estimate, ready to work. You work it yourself, the same way you'd work any list, only this data is scored and owner-verified. Managed done-for-you outreach is available as an optional bespoke add-on, quoted on request, if you'd rather not prospect it yourself. It's the PropStream data, done better.
Every customer gets the full metro-Atlanta dataset, county-verified, no zip limits, for one flat price. Every lead is tied to a real filing, not a modeled guess.

PropStream's 30-90 day refresh cycle means leads go cold before you dial. Harvard Business Review found leads contacted within 1 hour are ~7x more likely to qualify than one hour later, and batch platforms pulling "daily rather than continuously" are the root cause of lost conversions. PropScored scrapes every source daily, delivering bankruptcies in 1 day and pre-foreclosures in 3, so you reach motivated sellers while intent is highest.
