| Feature | BatchLeads | shinnslist |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Growth $119 a month, Professional $349, Scale $749, Enterprise custom (pricing, read 2026-10-17) | Free while in beta. The only thing sold is county tax lien sale packs at /liens/. |
| Trial and overage | 7-day free trial on individual plans; 4 cents for each extra lead, export or import (pricing, 2026-10-17) | No trial needed and no overage. The hunt needs no account. |
| Where it works | 150M+ US properties, their figure (property evaluation, 2026-10-17) | Nine Colorado counties plus a Virginia pilot. Several doors cover only Boulder County or the Estes Park to Longmont corridor. See coverage. |
| Data sources | "credit bureaus, MVD records, online, and other public and private sources" (data sources, 2026-10-17) | Public records only: county assessors, recorders and treasurers, and free federal maps. No credit-bureau, motor-vehicle or paid data. |

It is still in training, no day is graded yet, and nothing on the site predicts a sale. See how we grade. |
