PropStream vs BatchLeads vs PropertyRadar: which one does a listing agent actually need?

7 min read · By Jules Cordero, Founder

If you've spent any time in agent Facebook groups, you've seen the question: "PropStream, BatchLeads, or PropertyRadar?" Usually it comes from someone who just took a listing-side coaching course and was told to "get a data tool." Then forty people answer with whichever one they happen to pay for.

I've been that agent, and I've watched plenty of people sign up for the biggest plan they could find, use about a tenth of it, and quit paying three months later. So here's the comparison I wish someone had handed me: what each of these three tools actually is, what it costs according to its own pricing page, and which kind of listing agent each one fits.

Full disclosure: I built LeadCove, so I have a horse in this race. That's why every PropStream, BatchLeads, and PropertyRadar fact below links to their own pages, with the date I checked it, so you can verify it yourself.

The short answer

All three are property search platforms first. They're built to help you find properties by filtering a market, then market to the owners. They differ in who they're aimed at and how they handle owner contact info:

If you mostly work lists you already have (this morning's expireds, a few FSBOs, your farm), you may not need a search platform at all. More on that at the end.

What each one costs, from its own pages

Here are the self-serve plans as each company lists them. Prices change, so click through before you decide.

ToolEntry planMiddle planTop self-serve planTrial
PropStreamEssentials $99/moPro $199/moElite $699/mo7 days, 50 leads
BatchLeadsGrowth $119/moProfessional $349/moScale $749/mo"Risk free for 7 days"
PropertyRadarSolo $119/moTeam $249/moBusiness $599/mo5 days

All three discount annual billing. PropStream's pricing page shows yearly totals of $972, $1,980, and $6,996. BatchLeads' pricing page drops to $71, $209, and $449 a month if you commit annually. PropertyRadar's pricing page lists $99, $199, and $549 a month when prepaid annually.

Seats

For a solo agent this rarely matters, but for a small team it adds up. PropStream Essentials includes just the account holder, with team members at $30 a month each. Pro includes 2 and Elite includes 9. BatchLeads includes 3, 8, and 26 users. PropertyRadar includes 1, 3, and 10, with extra users at $50 a month on Solo.

Owner phones and emails

This is where the three really split, and it's the part listing agents care about most.

Calling

None of the three puts a full dialer in the entry plan. PropStream bundles click-to-dial with Connect. BatchLeads sells Dialer AI for $89 a month, and BatchDialer separately starting at $95 per agent. PropertyRadar lists dialers at $59, $99, and $149 a month, plus SMS bundles starting at $49 for 2,000 messages.

PropStream: for the agent who lives in the data

PropStream's pricing page highlights more than 160 million public records, MLS records and listings, 165+ search filters, 20 pre-built lead lists, comps, heat maps, and a stack of calculators for rentals, flips, rehabs, and ADUs. It also includes an AI search and an assistant for property questions.

It fits you if you pull comps constantly, prospect by building lists from filters (pre-foreclosure, high equity, absentee, failed listings), and like having property research and marketing in one place. If you also flip or hold rentals, the calculators earn their keep.

Watch for the add-ons. On Essentials, owner phones cost extra per contact unless you add Connect. My longer PropStream alternative post and the LeadCove vs PropStream page go deeper.

BatchLeads: for the agent who prospects like an investor

BatchLeads' homepage pitches "free skip tracing, one-click lead lists, outbound campaigns, and CRM features – all from one award-winning platform," and its audience is mainly investors, with agents and home-services pros listed too. BatchRank AI scores properties by likelihood to sell, though the pricing page says Growth only gets limited access to it.

It fits you if you work big off-market lists, want properties ranked for you, and plan to run mail and calling campaigns at volume, maybe with a team. Thousands of saved leads a month only make sense if you'll actually work them.

Watch for the stacking. Dialer AI, Reia AI, and BatchDialer are all priced separately. See my BatchLeads alternative post and the LeadCove vs BatchLeads page for the full breakdown.

PropertyRadar: for the agent who wants alerts and campaigns

PropertyRadar's pricing page lists 300+ search criteria, unlimited lists, property alerts, comps, transaction history with deeds, loans, and liens, marketing automation, next-day direct mail with no minimums (4x6 postcards from 66¢), and nationwide coverage across all 50 states.

It fits you if you farm a defined area and want to know the moment something changes: a default notice, a new owner, a property matching your criteria. Its monitoring and email automation are built for steady, repeated touches.

Watch for the monthly phone and email allowance. 250 a month on Solo goes quickly if you're working expireds daily. My PropertyRadar alternative post and the LeadCove vs PropertyRadar page cover the details.

The question most listing agents skip

Before you pick among the three, ask yourself honestly: do I have a list problem or a phone number problem?

Most listing agents I talk to have a phone number problem. The MLS hands them expireds every morning. FSBO signs are on the drive home. The farm has been the same few hundred doors for years. What they're missing isn't more addresses. It's the right owner's phone, whether it's safe to dial, and somewhere to track the call and the follow-up.

If that's you, paying for a market-wide search engine to get owner phones is like buying a moving truck to pick up groceries. It works, but you're paying for a lot of truck.

Here's a quick test. Grab last week's expireds and FSBOs and count how many owners you actually reached. If the bottleneck was finding the properties, a search platform is worth it. If the bottleneck was finding the person and their number, start there instead.

The list-first option: LeadCove

LeadCove isn't a property search engine, and I won't pretend it is. There's no market-wide filter search, no propensity scoring, no comps, no direct mail, and no driving-for-dollars app. If you need those, one of the three above is the right call.

What it does is the part after you already have the addresses:

  1. Bring the addresses. Expireds, FSBOs, absentee owners, a farm, or a CSV exported from any of the tools above. Messy columns are fine, and you don't need owner names.
  2. Get every owner. Verified owner name, phones with DNC and TCPA-litigator flags right next to them, emails, and the LLC or trust officer when an entity holds the deed. No data, no charge.
  3. Call from the built-in CRM. Calls, texts, emails, notes, and follow-ups live on the same row as the phone number. If you run your pipeline in Follow Up Boss, LeadCove syncs with it too.

Plans are Starter at $29 a month for 15 credits, Pro at $49 for 50, and Power at $99 for 100. The 7-day trial runs on Starter and is $0 today. The live numbers are always in our pricing section.

Check it on an address you know. Run any U.S. property address through the property-owner lookup and see the owner name, phones with DNC flags, and emails before you commit to anything.

How to decide this week

  1. Write down your real workflow. Where do your addresses come from today, and where does the process stall? 10 minutes
  2. Use the trials on the same list. PropStream gives 7 days, BatchLeads 7, and PropertyRadar 5. Run the same 25 to 50 owners through any tool you're testing, including a few LLC-owned properties. one afternoon
  3. Score on calls, not features. Right owner, reachable phone, clear flags, and time from file to first dial. See the 7-day trial walkthrough if LeadCove is one of them. one dialing block

Keep whichever tool wins on your own list. If you live in market search, comps, and mail campaigns, that's one of the big three, and that's fine. If you already have the addresses and just need the owner and a phone you can safely call, start from the list and pick up the phone.
