Frequently Asked Questions
Is AcquireDeeds really free?
Yes. There is no monthly fee or subscription. You can search properties, build lists, and preview templates at no cost. You only pay when you send mail — starting at $0.65/piece for postcards and $0.99/piece for letters.
Why would I switch from BatchLeads?
If you're primarily using BatchLeads for direct mail campaigns, you're paying $79-$99/mo for the platform, then dealing with third-party integrations to actually send mail. With AcquireDeeds, you skip the subscription and the integration hassle — search, select, and send in one platform. If you need skip tracing, Driving for Dollars, or nationwide data, BatchLeads may still make sense for those features.
Does AcquireDeeds have nationwide data?
Not yet. We launched with comprehensive Colorado coverage (60+ counties) and are actively expanding. If you invest outside Colorado, BatchLeads' nationwide coverage is an advantage — but you're paying monthly whether you use it or not.
Can I use both?
Absolutely. Some investors use BatchLeads for skip tracing and Driving for Dollars, then use AcquireDeeds for direct mail campaigns to avoid the third-party mail integration. You're not locked into one platform.
How does direct mail compare?
BatchLeads doesn't have native direct mail — it relies on third-party integrations, which can mean extra steps and additional per-piece costs. AcquireDeeds has built-in mail sending with pricing ($0.65+ postcards, $0.99+ letters) that includes everything: printing, First-Class postage, tracking, and delivery. No separate integrations needed.
What about skip tracing?
BatchLeads wins here — they offer built-in skip tracing at $0.12-$0.15/record, with some credits included in higher plans. AcquireDeeds doesn't have skip tracing yet, but it's on our roadmap. If skip tracing is critical to your workflow, consider using a dedicated service like BatchSkipTracing alongside AcquireDeeds.
