PropStream Alternatives for Skip Tracing (2026): Prices Compared
Ava Data is our pick for investors who use PropStream mainly for owner phone numbers: a $9/month plan with 100 credits, then 2¢ per matched phone with no order minimum, against PropStream Essentials at $99/month plus 12¢ a contact (as of September 25, 2026). List Builder covers the lists. Keep PropStream if comps and rehab estimates are why you subscribe.
What are the best PropStream alternatives for skip tracing in 2026?
Ava Data ranks first on monthly fee and per-match price: the lowest monthly fee of the platforms here that charge one, and a published 2¢ per matched phone. The other five are not ranked against each other; each is listed with the PropStream user it fits best. For the one-on-one comparison, see Ava Data vs PropStream.
1. Ava Data — our pick
- Best for: PropStream users whose main job is turning owner lists into phone numbers and emails.
- Pricing: $9/month plan with 100 credits (1 credit = 2¢): 2¢ per matched phone, 4¢ with email, 20¢ for a Deep Search, and 1 credit per List Builder record. Nothing is charged when a search finds no one, and there is no order minimum.
- What it does well: 17 List Builder quick lists — absentee, pre-foreclosure, tax-default, vacant, expired, FSBO and more — plus list stacking, bulk files of up to 250,000 records, a public REST API and Follow Up Boss enrichment on one balance, with no seat charge.
- Look elsewhere if: You rely on comps, rehab-cost estimates or a driving app. Ava Data offers none of them.
2. BatchLeads
- Best for: Investors who want list building, direct mail and SMS in one subscription.
- Pricing (as of September 25, 2026): Growth $119/month with 10,000 leads a month, Professional $349 with 35,000, and Scale $749 with 75,000; phones and emails are included on every plan, and extra leads are 4¢.
- What it does well: List stacking, list upload and enrichment, direct mail, SMS through provider integrations, and Zapier and native Podio connections.
- Consider it if: You want list building, mail and SMS in one subscription and will use most of the 10,000 leads it includes each month; PropStream has owned BatchLeads since July 2025.

3. PropertyRadar
- Best for: Investors who want property research with monitoring, from a company outside the PropStream family.
- Pricing (as of September 25, 2026): Solo $119/month ($99 billed annually) with 250 phones and emails a month, Team $249 and Business $599; extra phones and emails are 8¢, 6¢ or 4¢ each by plan.
- What it does well: Property search, monitored lists and alerts on ownership and listing changes, list imports on every plan, and API access on all three plans.
- Consider it if: Research and monitoring are why you use PropStream today.

4. DealMachine
- Best for: Investors who source by driving for dollars.
- Pricing (as of September 25, 2026): Basic $99 per seat per month with 10,000 data credits per seat, Pro $149 per seat with 20,000, and Scale $599 per package per month with 100,000 records and 10 workspace seats.
- What it does well: Driving for dollars, a CRM and direct mail in one account, plus API, CLI and webhook access on every plan and an MCP server.
- Consider it if: Field sourcing is your main channel, or one operator traces about 10,000 records a month on a single seat.
Head-to-head: Ava Data vs DealMachine
5. REISkip
- Best for: Tracing in occasional batches, billed per match rather than by the month.
- Pricing (as of September 25, 2026): 15¢ per match with phones and emails included; the Bulk plan has a 50-match minimum and the Volume plan 1,001.
- What it does well: Per-match billing, REISkip List Builder and built-in CRM tools.
- Consider it if: You trace a few batches a year, each above the minimum.
Head-to-head: Ava Data vs REISkip
6. Skip Genie
- Best for: Newer investors who want live coaching and calling scripts with their data.
- Pricing (as of September 25, 2026): $58/month with 100 searches, then 17¢ per additional search; bulk lists from 13¢ a record.
- What it does well: Weekly live coaching calls, calling scripts for paid members, and relative searches at the same 17¢.
- Consider it if: Coaching is the reason you are buying.

How do PropStream alternatives compare on price and features?
PropStream is the second row, as the baseline. Every competitor row uses the provider's own published pricing on the date shown, and the pricing-model column says what unit each one bills.
| Provider | Pricing model | Price per match or record | Monthly fee | Minimum | API | Bulk upload | List building | CRM integration |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ava Data | Per match, on a monthly plan | 2¢ phone · 4¢ phone + email · 20¢ Deep Search | $9, with 100 credits | The $9 plan; no order minimum | REST API on the same plan, enabled per account | Up to 250,000 records per file | List Builder, 1 credit per record | Follow Up Boss (live) |

| PropertyRadar (as of September 25, 2026) | Subscription with monthly phones and emails | 8¢, 6¢ or 4¢ per extra phone or email by plan | $119 Solo; $249 Team; $599 Business | An active plan | API access on every plan | Imports on every plan, plus an Import API | Yes, with monitoring and alerts | 1, 3 or 10 integrations by plan; Zapier |

Not published means the provider's own pages state no price as of the date shown. Not confirmed means we could not confirm the fact on the provider's own pages as of the date shown; it does not mean the feature is missing. Ask the provider before relying on either.
Which PropStream alternative fits your operation?
Which PropStream alternative fits a new investor?
For a new investor, Ava Data is the lower-cost way to start: $9/month with 100 credits instead of PropStream Essentials at $99 plus 12¢ a contact, then 2¢ per matched phone. Skip Genie fits better if you want live coaching and scripts alongside the data, at $58/month for 100 searches (as of September 25, 2026).
Which PropStream alternative fits a solo wholesaler or a small team?
A solo wholesaler or small team fits Ava Data: tracing 1,000 records costs $20 at most at 2¢ per matched phone, a quiet month costs the $9 plan, and credits are shared across the account. DealMachine fits a team that sources by driving, at $99 per seat per month on its Basic plan (as of September 25, 2026).
Which PropStream alternative fits a high-volume or seasoned team?
A seasoned team that already has comps elsewhere fits Ava Data for the contact layer: bulk files of up to 250,000 records, the REST API at 60 requests per minute, and no seats. A team tracing 10,000 leads every month fits BatchLeads Growth, $119 with phones and emails included (as of September 25, 2026).
Which PropStream alternative fits a real estate agent?
An agent who uses PropStream mainly for owner phone numbers fits Ava Data: FSBO and expired-listing quick lists, 2¢ per matched phone, and Follow Up Boss enrichment on a tag or a new lead. Agents who want expired listings delivered daily with a dialer fit a prospecting subscription; the agent comparison covers REDX, Vulcan7 and Landvoice.
Which PropStream alternative fits a developer?
A developer fits Ava Data, because PropStream's pricing page describes no developer API: Ava Data's REST API runs on the same $9/month plan as the dashboard, lookups are synchronous at 60 requests per minute, and the spec is published as OpenAPI JSON. DealMachine also ships a REST API, a CLI, webhooks and MCP.
How much does a month of tracing cost on each PropStream alternative?
A month of tracing 1,000 owners for a phone costs $20 at most in credits on Ava Data, on top of the $9/month plan, because only matched phones are charged. The same month on each alternative, from its own published pricing on the date shown:
| Provider | A month tracing 1,000 owners for a phone | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|
| Ava Data | $29 at most: the $9 plan plus up to $20 in matched phones | 2¢ per matched phone; nothing charged for a record with no match |
| PropStream (as of September 25, 2026) | $129 on Essentials with the Connect add-on, or up to $219 at 12¢ a contact without it | Essentials $99; Connect from $30/month adds skip tracing; an empty trace is not charged |
| BatchLeads (as of September 25, 2026) | $119 on Growth | Phones and emails included on up to 10,000 leads a month |
| PropertyRadar (as of September 25, 2026) | $179 on Solo to unlock 1,000 phones | The $119 plan with 250 phones and emails, plus 750 more phones at 8¢ |
| DealMachine (as of September 25, 2026) | $99 for one Basic seat | 10,000 data credits per seat |
| REISkip (as of September 25, 2026) | $150 at most | 15¢ per match with phone and email; Bulk plan minimum 50 matches |
| Skip Genie (as of September 25, 2026) | $211 at most: $58 with 100 searches, plus 900 at 17¢ | Bulk lists from 13¢ a record |
The per-match, per-contact and per-search rows are ceilings; the plan-only rows are floors. Where a plan's allotment covers the month, the plan price is the whole bill, and it is also the bill in a month with no tracing at all.
When is PropStream's bundled skip tracing the better deal?
PropStream's bundled skip tracing is the better deal when you use its comps, rehab calculator and fix-and-flip tools every week and trace inside what your plan includes. Pro ($199) and Elite ($699) include tracing through Connect, up to $6,000 and $12,000 of stated value, then 10¢ a contact; Essentials adds Connect from $30 a month (as of September 25, 2026).
- Against Essentials with Connect ($129), Ava Data costs less until a month passes about 6,000 matched phones. The $9 plan plus 2¢ for each match beyond its 100 included credits reaches $129 at about 6,100.
- Without Connect, Essentials is $99 plus 12¢ a contact. At that rate a month of 1,000 traced owners runs up to $219.
- An empty trace is free on both. PropStream does not charge for a skip trace that comes up empty, and Ava Data charges nothing on a miss.
- A quiet month is billed in full. A PropStream plan bills the same in a month with no tracing; Ava Data bills the $9 plan.
Keeping PropStream for research and tracing elsewhere is a CSV away: export the list and upload it to bulk skip tracing.
Is BatchLeads an alternative to PropStream or the same company?
BatchLeads is a sibling of PropStream rather than an independent alternative: PropStream acquired BatchLeads and BatchDialer in July 2025, and batchleads.io describes BatchLeads as powered by PropStream. Its plans run from Growth at $119 a month, with phones and emails included on 10,000 leads, to Scale at $749, with extra leads at 4¢ (as of September 25, 2026).
For a BatchLeads user who mainly traces, the answer depends on volume. Ava Data costs less until a month passes about 2,800 phone-and-email matches, or 5,600 phone-only matches, where 4¢ or 2¢ per match plus the $9 plan reaches Growth's $119; above that, a fully used Growth plan costs less per record. The alternatives by what else you need:
- Tracing only, at uneven volume: Ava Data, at 2¢ per matched phone, with List Builder and list stacking for the lists. The BatchLeads comparison works the math.
- Driving for dollars and mail: DealMachine, at $99 per seat per month on Basic.
- Research and monitoring: PropertyRadar, from $119/month on Solo.
- Occasional batches without a monthly fee: REISkip, at 15¢ per match with phones and emails, on a 50-match minimum.
How Ava Data Knows the Numbers Are Good
There's a harder question than price: how do you know the numbers are good? Most skip tracing services never find out what happens after they hand you a phone number. Ava Data does — through partnerships with high-volume dialing networks placing over 100 million calls a month, Ava Data sees real connect signals and tests its data head-to-head against major data vendors. Every outcome gets scored: right-person connects, numbers that don't connect, wrong numbers. Those signals feed a custom ranking layer that orders every contact's phone numbers by real-world connect performance — so the number most likely to answer is first on your list.
These are aggregate network connect signals — no customer lists or uploaded records are ever shared, sold, or used.
How we compared
Ava Data, LLC publishes this page and ranks its own product first. Ava Data is placed first on monthly fee and per-match price — the lowest monthly fee among the platforms here that charge one, and a published 2¢ per matched phone — and the other providers are not ranked against each other. Competitor facts come from each provider's own website and carry the date they were read: September 25, 2026 for PropStream, BatchLeads, PropertyRadar, DealMachine, REISkip and Skip Genie, and for REDX, Vulcan7 and Landvoice, which are named in passing. Where we could not confirm a fact on the provider's own pages as of the date shown, the table says Not confirmed instead of estimating.
This page does not compare property research, where PropStream leads, and it does not score data quality for any provider. With Ava Data, you see your match rate on every job, and you only pay for matches. The one-on-one page, Ava Data vs PropStream, goes deeper on the two products.

Is PropStream's built-in skip tracing worth it vs a dedicated service?
PropStream's built-in skip tracing is worth it when you already pay for its research tools: Pro and Elite include tracing through Connect, and Essentials adds Connect from $30 a month (as of September 25, 2026). For tracing alone, Ava Data costs less than Essentials with Connect until a month passes about 6,000 matched phones.
What's a good alternative to BatchLeads for skip tracing?
A good alternative to BatchLeads for skip tracing depends on volume. BatchLeads Growth is $119/month with phones and emails on 10,000 leads (as of September 25, 2026).

How much does PropStream cost per month?
PropStream's published plans, as listed on September 25, 2026, are Essentials at $99 a month with skip tracing at 12¢ a contact, and Pro at $199 and Elite at $699, which include tracing through Connect and then charge 10¢ a contact.

Does PropStream have an API for skip tracing?
