A Wholesaler's Comparison, Not a Generic Review
If you are a wholesaler, the choice between PropContact and BatchLeads is not abstract. You are deciding which platform will sit at the center of your weekly engine: lists pulled, skip tracing run, calls made, contracts signed, deals assigned. The wrong choice eats time and money. The right one quietly compounds.
This is a direct, head-to-head comparison written for wholesalers. It is honest about where BatchLeads is strong, honest about where PropContact wins, and honest about the deadline scenarios where PropLeads becomes the smarter scale move.

What BatchLeads Actually Is
Based on public materials as of late 2025, BatchLeads is a list-building and outreach toolkit aimed largely at the wholesaler market. The product sits next to BatchSkipTracing, which is BatchLeads' skip-tracing engine, and the two integrate so you can build a list and append contact data without leaving the ecosystem.
Headline strengths.
- List building with a familiar wholesaler-oriented filter set, including absentee, equity, tax delinquent, pre-foreclosure, free and clear, and other standard motivated-seller flags.
- BatchSkipTracing integration, so the skip-trace step happens inside the same account.
- Mobile and desktop both supported. The mobile experience is built out enough that some users run portions of their workflow from their phone.
- SMS and dialer features inside the broader Batch ecosystem, marketed as part of an end-to-end outreach toolkit.
- Wholesaler-focused tooling, including stacked-list features and follow-up workflows.
For wholesalers who want one provider that covers the build, the skip trace, and parts of the outreach, BatchLeads has been a recognizable name in this category for years.
What PropContact Actually Is
PropContact is a map-first list-building toolkit for investors and wholesalers who care about unit economics. The product sits on a MapLibre viewer with OpenFreeMap tiles. You draw your area, layer 60+ filters, and watch the live match count change in under 500 ms as you tune.
Spec sheet.
- 150M+ U.S. parcels across all 50 states plus D.C.
- Per-user dedup at the parcel level. Once a property has cost you credits in any build, it will not cost again in another build under the same account, including across team seats.
- Up to 6 phones per owner with carrier type, a Verified/Possible/Uncertain quality tier, match score, and DNC scrubbing on the primary phone.
- Up to 5 emails per owner.
- A DOB and Senior Owner (60+) filter, plus a Year Built filter and 60+ other filter dimensions.
- Multi-area OR semantics so a single list can include several cities, counties, or ZIPs without rerunning state-by-state.
- 150 free contacts at signup, limited time.
- Referral program that gives 20% extra credits to the referee and returns 1/6 of payments back to the referrer as dollars for 6 months, with a $20 cash-out floor.
Pricing tiers. Starter at $109/mo (or $89 annual monthly equivalent), Growth at $169 ($139 annual), Scale at $269 ($219 annual). Add-on credit pricing is 2 cents on Starter, 1 cent on Growth, and 0.5 cents on Scale. There is a 3-month FIFO validity on credits, a 30-day money-back on monthly plans, and a clawback formula on annual cancellation that goes to zero after 12 months. Team seats are 1/3/10/unlimited.
Where BatchLeads Wins
If you are a wholesaler today, here is where BatchLeads still pays its way.
The skip-trace integration is convenient. You can build a list and run the skip trace inside the same account. For shops that have institutionalized BatchSkipTracing as their contact-data provider, that integration is real.
Mobile workflow is a feature, not an afterthought. If your team or your VAs run portions of the day from a phone, BatchLeads has invested in that experience.
The product is wholesaler-shaped. Stacked lists, follow-up workflows, and outreach tools are oriented toward the specific way wholesalers move from raw list to signed contract. For some teams, that ergonomic shape outweighs raw data cost.
The brand familiarity matters at the operator level. If your dispositions partners or JV partners are also on Batch products, sharing lists, dialing logs, and pipeline notes is friction-free.
If you have already paid for the year and the team is humming, none of these strengths are abstract. Be honest about that before you switch anything.
Where PropContact Wins
Now the other column, also honest.
Cost per dial is lower at scale. The 0.5-cents-per-credit add-on rate on Scale is hard to beat. Even Growth at 1 cent and Starter at 2 cents are competitive. If you are running tens or hundreds of thousands of records per year, the unit economics matter directly to your bottom line.
Per-user dedup is the silent winner. Most wholesalers build the same list more than once across a year because their territory does not change much. On most platforms, the same household costs you again every time. On PropContact, it does not. Across a year that is a real number, and it compounds team-aware so VAs do not eat each other's credits.
Phone data depth. Up to 6 phones per owner with carrier and quality tier means your dialer team has prioritization built in. Verified-tier numbers get the first pass, Possible-tier numbers go later, and DNC-flagged primaries divert to direct mail. For more on choosing data by quality not just quantity, see best quality phone data for real estate.
A Senior Owner (60+) and DOB filter. Estate-driven and downsizing-driven seller motivations follow owner age. Filtering on it directly is a noticeably more efficient way to find motivated sellers than filtering on proxies.
Map-first list building. Drawing an area on a map is faster than typing ZIP codes one at a time. Multi-area OR semantics means you can combine several neighborhoods into one build without redoing the state context. If you have ever fumbled with a state-by-state list build at 11pm before a marketing send, this matters.
150 free contacts on signup. Not a sandbox. Real credits to test the question without a card on file.
A referral program that pays you in dollars, not platform credits. 1/6 of payments back for 6 months, with a $20 cash-out floor. Mechanics are in zero-capital referrals and the practical playbook in social media marketing with referrals.
A modern technical stack. DuckDB on parquet, MapLibre on OpenFreeMap, sub-500ms match-count updates. The product feels modern in a way that older toolkits do not.

Two things tend to dominate the decision for wholesalers in practice: cost per dial and dedup. If those two are decisive for you, the lower half of the table tells the story.
When BatchLeads Wins
You probably want BatchLeads if any of these are true.
Your team is already trained on Batch products and switching costs are real. Operational continuity is worth money.
You want the dialer, the SMS, and the skip trace inside one ecosystem and you are happy to pay the all-in-one premium for that convenience.
Your team runs significant portions of the day from a phone, not a desk. The mobile workflow is a real differentiator.
You stack lists frequently in a specific Batch-shaped way and the platform's stacking ergonomics save you measurable time per week.
You have institutionalized BatchSkipTracing as your contact-data provider and you trust the data quality you have measured.
When PropContact Wins
You probably want PropContact if any of these are true.
Your bottleneck is unit economics. You are buying data by the row at a high volume and the difference between 2 cents and 0.5 cents per credit at scale is a number you can feel in monthly cost reports.
You build similar lists more than once a year and you are tired of paying twice for the same household. Per-user dedup quietly saves more money than most operators realize.
You care about phone data depth and prioritization. Six numbers per owner with quality tiers makes your dialer team measurably more efficient.
You want to filter on owner age directly with a Senior Owner (60+) flag. Estate and downsizing motivations correlate strongly and most platforms do not give you this lever.
You think in neighborhoods, not ZIPs. The map-first flow saves mental overhead.
You like the idea of a referral engine that pays you in dollars, not credits.
When Neither: Consider PropLeads
If your bottleneck is not the cost of data but the cost of human time, neither per-row tool is the answer. You need leads delivered ready to call.
PropLeads is PropContact's sister platform on the pay-per-lead side. PropLeads runs the outreach for you and delivers pre-qualified seller leads to your dialer or your inbox. The cost per lead is higher than the cost per row on PropContact, because you are paying for an outreach team and a qualification pass, not raw data.
When PropLeads makes more sense than PropContact for a wholesaler.
You have a closing on the calendar in 21 days and your pipeline is thin. You cannot build, dial, and qualify a fresh list fast enough. PropLeads delivers pipeline faster.
You do not have a dialer team and you do not want to hire one. PropLeads removes the staffing question.
You want to stack both, which is the most common pattern. Run PropContact as your ongoing engine to keep cost per contact low. Use PropLeads to backfill the pipeline before deadlines or during low-staffing weeks. The two are designed to complement each other.

A Wholesaler Workflow Recipe
Concrete weekly cycle using PropContact as the engine and PropLeads when the calendar demands it.
Sunday night, open the map in PropContact. Pick the metro you are working this week. Layer absentee owner, equity 50% or more, Year Built before 1980, and Senior Owner. Watch the match count. Tune until the list is the size your dialer can handle in 5 days. Export the CSV.
Monday morning, hand the list to your dialer team. The Verified-tier phones get first-pass priority. The Possible-tier numbers go to a secondary pass. The DNC-flagged primaries get routed to direct mail. For setup ideas, see how to cold call real estate leads and real estate cold calling scripts.
Wednesday afternoon, look at the contact-to-lead rate. If you are on pace for appointments this week and next, great. Plan next week's list and repeat.
Thursday, if the pipeline is short and you have a closing deadline three weeks out, open PropLeads and request a batch of pre-qualified leads to backfill. Pay the higher per-lead price on the urgent batch. Keep PropContact running for the ongoing engine.
Saturday, run a cost-per-appointment report. Compare your PropContact spend to your PropLeads spend and to the deals you closed. Adjust ratio next week.
For context on how the data feeds the wholesale machine, the wholesale real estate lead lists playbook is the longer read.
The Final Honest Take
BatchLeads is a fine choice for a wholesaler who values the integrated ecosystem and is willing to pay an all-in-one premium for that. If you are already inside the Batch stack and operating cleanly, the friction of switching can outweigh the savings.
PropContact is the better choice if your bottleneck is unit economics and dedup. The map-first UX, the per-user dedup, the phone data depth with quality tiers, and the lower add-on credit price compound noticeably across a year. The 150 free signup contacts let you test the question without a card on file.
PropLeads is the right answer when human time, not data cost, is the bottleneck. It pairs naturally with PropContact.
Run the test. Pull a 1,000-record list on PropContact with the 150 free signup credits, dial it for a week, and compare your cost per appointment to your current Batch numbers. Numbers, not loyalty, should make this call.
