LeadCounty vs BatchData: who should choose which.
LeadCounty vs BatchData: choose BatchData if you build software or run a large operation and need a data feed and skip tracing by the hundred thousand records; choose LeadCounty if you work one to a few counties and want each county's own records every week, with at most 10 investors per county.
BatchData is a property data company: national property records, mortgage and lien data, skip tracing and ranked cash-buyer lists, sold by monthly record volume with API access.
LeadCounty is a tool for investors, not a data feed. It reads each county's own records every week, scores every property with its reasons, and caps each county at 10 investors. It starts at $99 a month for 1 county and covers 99 counties in 27 states.
LeadCounty has a 7-day free trial (a trial, not a free plan), so you can test your own county next to BatchData.

BatchData's plans start at $1,000 a month for 100,000 records. LeadCounty charges per county with nothing metered inside your export allowance.

How a LeadCounty county list is built.
- Step 1
Collect
Every week we download each county's own files: the auditor or appraiser roll, the treasurer's tax bills and payments, the recorder's deeds, and court and city code records where the county publishes them.
- Step 2
Join and check
The files are joined by parcel, names and addresses are cleaned, and each county's numbers are checked against the week before before anything is published.
- Step 3
Score and explain
Every property gets a likely-to-sell score from 1 to 10 learned from that county's own sales, with its top reasons in plain words, and lands on the seller lists it matches.
- Step 4
Deliver
New matches show in New this week and your Monday e-mail; you stack lists, open the property file, and export one row per property for mail or skip tracing.
