Who each tool is built for
BatchLeads is aimed at wholesalers and investor teams that run their whole outreach inside one product. Its home page advertises 130+ lead-list filters, parcel insights by APN, one-click lead lists, Map Search and campaign tools, and markets "free skip tracing" as part of that package. Plans are sized by how many leads you save and export each month and by how many users share the account.
Locate Next is a two-part web tool aimed at US real estate teams. Find homeowners searches a ZIP code, city or county and returns each owner-of-record name with the property address and, kept apart, the owner's mailing address; year built and value appear when the county record carries them. Skip tracing takes one address or your own CSV or .xlsx list and adds the contact details it finds. There is no dialer, no direct mail and no built-in CRM: you export a file for the CRM you already use.

What a month costs on each
On BatchLeads, the floor is $119 a month whether you save ten leads or ten thousand. In return you get a 10,000 lead quota on Growth, plus the outbound campaign and CRM features its home page lists (Dialer AI costs extra). If two or three people build and work lists every week, that floor spreads across many records, and BatchLeads can come out cheaper per lead than paying per search. Keep in mind that the trace cost itself is unclear, because of the wallet described below.
On Locate Next, the floor is $49 a month and each search that returns results costs $0.17. Tracing 200 owners in a month comes to at most $83 ($49 plus $34), and less when some searches come back empty. At about 400 searches with results, the total reaches roughly $117, close to BatchLeads Growth's $119; above that, a quota plan can cost less per record if its tracing adds little. Use the cost calculator with your own monthly counts before you decide.
One caution on BatchLeads pricing: its own pages describe skip tracing two ways. The pricing page says saved leads are skip traced automatically, and the home page says "free skip tracing". The FAQ says tracing draws from a wallet that needs at least $50. Ask BatchLeads which rule applies to your plan, and what a trace costs, before you budget for it.
Lists: many filters, or one geography
This is where BatchLeads does more. Its home page counts 130+ lead-list filters, with 300+ in the Fix and Flip section, so you can narrow a list before you save a single lead. Locate Next's Find homeowners searches by place only: a ZIP code, a city or a county. You get the owners of record it returns for that place, up to 5,000 per ZIP per day for each account, save them as a list and then skip trace it. If your strategy depends on narrow filtered lists, BatchLeads or a list tool like PropStream fits that job better. If you farm one area, door knock, or serve homeowners in a service territory, a place-based owner list may be all you need. The list stacking guide covers how to narrow a broad list yourself.
Working from an AI assistant
BatchLeads offers AI inside its own app: Reia AI for deal analysis and scripts, Dialer AI with AI prompts, and BatchRank-AI seller scoring. Its integrations page lists no MCP server or connector for outside AI apps. BatchData, a separate site, publishes an MCP server page naming Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and Claude Code, and its pricing page lists MCP Server under Enterprise and Custom with no public price (both Read November 5, 2026). If you want BatchData's data inside an assistant, ask BatchData.
To use Locate Next from Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex or Cursor, add its MCP server, https://app.locatenext.com/mcp, and sign in with your Locate account. After that, a plain request works: pull the homeowners in a ZIP, clean or check a list, or quote what tracing a list would cost. Nothing that costs money runs until you confirm it. Locate does the work on its own servers. The guide to skip tracing in Claude or ChatGPT walks through it.
Which fits your job
- If you need list building, skip tracing, dialing, mail and a CRM in one subscription for a team, BatchLeads fits.
- If you save thousands of leads a month and filter them heavily, a BatchLeads quota plan likely costs less per lead.
- If you trace small or irregular batches and want to pay only when a search returns results, Locate Next fits.
- If you already have a CRM and dialer and only need owner lists and contacts in a clean file, Locate Next fits.
- If you want to run owner searches from Claude or ChatGPT, Locate Next's MCP server does that; BatchData also offers one, listed under its Enterprise and Custom pricing.
Whichever you choose, test it on twenty owners you already know and read what a skip trace match proves before you call anyone.

Does BatchLeads work with ChatGPT or Claude?
Its own pages, read November 5, 2026, list built-in AI tools but no MCP server, ChatGPT app or Claude connector. BatchData, a separate brand, publishes an MCP server page. Locate Next works in both apps once you add its MCP server.
Does Locate Next check Do Not Call status?
Yes, when you export. Every number carries its own result; one with no current answer is marked "Not checked" and is never counted as clear. The check compares phone numbers with the dataset currently active on this site. It does not promise a live connection to government records, identify the owner of a number, or establish consent to contact someone. DNC checks are included at no extra charge.
