What Changed in 2025

The PropStream consolidation and what it means for your stack

In July 2025, PropStream announced its acquisition of BatchLeads and BatchDialer — the two most-cited PropStream alternatives in the wholesaler and investor community. One parent company now owns the dominant subscription-platform stack for property data, list pulls, and the dialer that sits on top of it.

For investors, that consolidation has practical consequences:

  • Fewer independent competitors putting pricing pressure on subscriptions.
  • Bundled upsells across property data, dialer, and skip tracing — paid monthly whether you use them or not.
  • Lock-in risk on workflow tooling owned by a single vendor.

Tracerfy is the independent option. Same property dataset depth (150M+ U.S. records), the same list-stacking workflow, the same skip-trace overlay, the same 24 pre-built strategy presets — billed at $0.10 per delivered record with no monthly minimum and no subscription. If you skip a month, you pay nothing.

List Stacking — Built Into Every Lead Builder Execute

Multi-strategy filtering is the whole point. It's not a paid add-on.

Lead Builder's multi-strategy execute IS list stacking. When you pick more than one strategy preset — for example pre_foreclosure_motivated + probate_inherited + vacant — every property in the result intersects all three layers. That's the same workflow PropStream calls "list stacking" and the same thing experienced investors do by hand in spreadsheets.

The difference: Tracerfy charges the same $0.10 per delivered record whether you stack one strategy or eight. There is no extra fee for stacking, no per-list upsell, and the skip-trace overlay is already in the price.

List Stacking + Skip Tracing in One Flow

One queue, one price, one CSV out

With PropStream, list pulls and skip tracing are separate line items. With BatchLeads, the dialer (BatchDialer) is a separate subscription. That's three tools, three bills, three pipelines to keep in sync.

With Tracerfy, you submit one Lead Builder execute. The output CSV already includes owner phones with DNC and carrier flags, multiple emails, and a dial-safe boolean. No second tool, no second invoice, no second integration.

See the Lead Builder API — JSON request, queue ID, webhook on completion. Same pipeline, fully programmatic.

What's in one Lead Builder CSV
  • Property + ownership + financials
  • Equity, LTV, length owned
  • Distress signals (pre-foreclosure, vacant, tax-delinquent)
  • Owner phones with DNC, TCPA, and carrier flags
  • Multiple emails + dial-safe boolean
  • All for $0.10 per delivered record

Plus: Fresh County Records On Demand

When the cached database isn't enough, we pull straight from the county

Beyond Lead Builder, Tracerfy offers County Lead Lists — pulled directly from county tax assessors and recorders when you place the order, not from a cached database that refreshes every 30 days. For wholesalers chasing time-sensitive signals like new probates, fresh tax delinquencies, or recent code violations, this is the cleanest source of truth available.

County Lead Lists are billed per delivered record ($0.10–$2.00 depending on list type) with a 25-record minimum and a hold-at-order, charge-on-delivery model. If a county returns nothing, you owe nothing.

Common PropStream Complaints

What investors say on BiggerPockets and real estate forums

"Paying for months I don't use"
Most common complaint after the BatchLeads deal

Investors who pull lists 2–3 times a month still pay full subscription. With Tracerfy you pay $0 the months you don't pull and $0.10 per delivered record the months you do.

"Data is out of date"
Recurring forum thread

Tax delinquent lists include owners who already paid. Vacant lists show sold properties. Tracerfy's Lead Builder uses a continuously refreshed property database, and County Lead Lists pull straight from the county on order.

"API is gated behind enterprise"
Developer complaint

PropStream's programmatic access is limited and gated. Tracerfy publishes a full REST API on every account from day one — Lead Builder, skip tracing, parcel trace, DNC scrubbing, and webhooks.

"Everyone has the same lists"
Competitive disadvantage

Subscription platforms refresh on a schedule, so thousands of investors pull the same lists at the same time. Tracerfy's pay-per-hit + on-demand county pulls let you stack filters competitors haven't thought of and skip the leads they're already burning.
