How wholesalers + active investors use both

- Skip-trace + outreach (mail / SMS / cold call). BatchLeads handles the outreach automation.
- Seller responds with an address. Now you have a real deal.
- Underwrite in TrueCap. Paste the address; review the editable HUD rent and FRED rate benchmarks, enter local property tax, then run cap rate / DSCR / cash flow.
- Verify, then record your decision. Use TrueCap's Offer Ceiling (in your first free decision) to find the highest price that still meets your targets.

Common questions about TrueCap vs BatchLeads
Quick answers to the questions investors comparison-shopping these tools actually ask.
Is TrueCap a BatchLeads alternative?
BatchLeads vs PropStream — which one?
Does BatchLeads underwrite deals?
How does TrueCap's address auto-fill compare to BatchLeads' property data?
Can I use BatchLeads + TrueCap together?
Sources & methodology: Feature and pricing rows reflect BatchLeads's publicly listed information, last reviewed June 2026. Vendors change features and prices often — verify current details on BatchLeads's own site. Where TrueCap claims “sourced defaults,” that refers specifically to an editable HUD area-rent benchmark and the FRED owner-occupied 30-year mortgage-rate benchmark. Property tax is a manual local input with a disclosed generic fallback, not a state-data auto-fill.
On price, plainly
Tools in this space run from free to well above TrueCap — check BatchLeads's live pricing for their current number. What TrueCap's price buys is the decision layer, not more calculation: an Offer Ceiling for your targets, Buy Box fit with reasons, the downside stress test, and assumptions that are source-labeled instead of silently defaulted. Whether that workflow justifies the price depends on your volume, verification process, and existing tools.
