What happened to BatchSkipTracing

Alternatives to BatchSkipTracing

BatchSkipTracing shut down on August 15, 2025 and its addresses now redirect to BatchData, which BatchData’s own FAQ describes. BatchData’s skip tracing plans start at $2,000 a month for up to 100,000 traces, with API access on every tier, which suits very high volume. For a smaller file, the pay-per-result options read on October 24, 2026 were Skipmatch at 3 cents a matched record, REISkip at 15 cents a match and Locate Next at $0.17 per qualifying search with no membership. PropStream or BatchLeads fit if you also have to build the list. The models are set out in skip tracing cost per record.

1. Where the old addresses go

A permanent redirect is the strongest signal a site can send that an address has moved for good. It also means the old per-record rate card is gone: there is no archived pricing page left to read, so any figure you remember from BatchSkipTracing cannot be checked against a live source today.

2. What the receiving FAQ says about the move

These points are on BatchData’s FAQ, read October 23, 2026. The first and third are quoted; the rest are a paraphrase, because the page was read through a tool that summarizes it.

• “BatchSkiptracing will officially shut down on August 15, 2025.” After that date the FAQ describes visitors being sent to BatchData automatically.
• Logins, sub-users and wallet balances moved to BatchData. Anyone who could not see a balance after August 18 was told to contact support.
• “All contracts & current pricing will be honored.” So an existing agreement is said to carry over rather than being repriced.
• Data from old jobs can be exported for a limited time, through BatchData support.
• BatchData is described as having all the features of BatchSkiptracing and more.
• The BatchSkipTracing affiliate program has ended.

3. What this changes about price

If you were paying per record, the published landscape you arrive at is a monthly one. BatchData’s pricing page lists skip tracing plans starting at $2,000 a month for up to 100,000 skip traces, and its skip tracing page and FAQ name pay-as-you-go without printing a rate for it. Nothing on those pages states a minimum spend. The full set of tiers, the included fields and the API wording are on Locate Next vs BatchData, where each line is dated the same way as this one.

Two things are worth confirming in writing before you settle. First, whether the honored pricing the FAQ describes applies to your particular agreement. Second, what happens to a duplicate or repeated record under whichever model you end up on, since that is where a per-record habit and a monthly ceiling diverge fastest.

4. Get your old results out first

The export window the FAQ describes is time limited, so treat it as the first task rather than the last. Ask BatchData support for your old job results while that is still offered, and keep the files somewhere you control. Then keep your original owner list too, the one you uploaded in the first place, with its parcel numbers, notes and record IDs intact. Whatever tool you choose next will work from that file, not from a vendor’s processed copy, and merge traced results can put contacts back beside the right rows in your browser.

5. If you are shopping rather than migrating

Locate Next is skip tracing software for teams that already hold an owner list. It has no plan and no allowance. A qualifying search costs $0.17 and comes out of a prepaid balance that you top up from $10.00, so a quiet month costs nothing. The sheet you upload is taken as it is, in CSV or .xlsx, up to 25,000 rows and 500 columns, and the columns you sent come back in the order you sent them with contact columns added at the end. Before a search starts you see the most it can cost, and an address already searched in your workspace in the last 30 days is reused at no charge.

Rows owned by a company are handled as a separate step rather than guessed at. You can hold an LLC row for company review, which runs no person search and makes no charge, or search the property address anyway, which finds people tied to that address and not the company’s owners or managers. When a filing is available, LLC owner lookup shows the people it names with their titles as filed and keeps the registered agent separate. It is not a beneficial ownership report, and a name on a filing is not proof of who owns the parcel.

Do Not Call checks run in Export against the DNC dataset currently active on this site. 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.

Two limits are published rather than hidden. Access opens to teams in stages, so there is nothing to subscribe to today. And the CRM export page says no CRM import of these files has been verified by us yet, so test a handful of rows in your own account before you move a campaign onto one layout.

6. Moving a list, in order

1. Ask BatchData support to export your old job results while that is still offered, and store the files yourself.
2. Find the original list you first uploaded, and check that its record IDs and notes are still in it.
3. Upload that original file, unedited, and read the check that runs before any search: what will be searched, what is set aside and why, and the maximum cost.
4. Decide what each LLC row should do: hold it for company review, or search the property address knowing what that returns.
5. Export in the format your CRM wants, import a few rows first, and confirm your IDs and each number’s own status survived the trip.

A name match, a state business filing result or a registered agent is a lead to check against the deed and the filing, never proof of ownership. What a skip trace match proves covers the rest of that reasoning.
