PropStream starts at $99/month for 25,000 property saves, while BatchData's API plans start at $500/month as of late 2026. They serve different primary audiences: PropStream is an all-in-one platform built for real estate investors, whereas BatchData provides modular APIs and high-volume data for enterprise teams and developers.
Choosing between them depends on whether you want a visual software platform with built-in marketing tools, or if you need to wire raw property data and skip tracing directly into your own proprietary systems.
Disclosure: Scout Data is our product; treat that entry as a maker’s pitch and the rest as our honest read.

PropStream: The All-in-One Platform
PropStream is designed for users who want to manage their entire workflow in one place. For $99/month, you get access to 160 million property records and can export up to 25,000 leads per month. They also include built-in marketing tools, allowing you to send postcards or run email campaigns directly from the software. If you are a small real estate team that doesn't want to manage separate databases, PropStream is the standard choice. You can see a deeper breakdown in our PropStream pricing guide.
BatchData: The Infrastructure Choice
BatchData separates its property data and skip tracing into discrete API products. Their starting price is higher ($500/month for the Lite API tier), but their per-record cost at high volumes drops significantly lower than PropStream's. Furthermore, BatchData typically only bills for successful matches. It is built for teams that have their own CRM or dialer and simply need a reliable data hose to feed it. Read our BatchData pricing guide to understand their volume tiers.
Scout Data Instead of Both
If your primary goal is to build large, dialable lists for a call center, neither platform might be the perfect fit. PropStream limits your exports and charges a premium ($0.12) for skip tracing, while BatchData requires engineering effort to consume their APIs effectively.
Scout Data provides fully resolved homeowner records with the skip tracing already complete. For data buyers, it is one monthly rate quoted after the free test batch. You do not have to worry about export caps or paying separately for a property record and then again to find the phone number.
Frequently asked questions
Is PropStream skip tracing cheaper than BatchData?
For low volumes, yes, because PropStream does not require a large upfront API commitment. However, PropStream charges /usr/bin/bash.12 per contact, whereas BatchData’s per-record cost can drop to a few cents at higher volumes. BatchData is cheaper at enterprise scale.
Which is better for API access?
BatchData. They are built API-first and offer modular endpoints for property search and contact enrichment. PropStream is primarily a web platform and does not focus heavily on exposing raw developer APIs.
