Christopher, good question, both tools have their place, but they shine in different areas depending on what you need next.PropStream is usually the better all-around option if you want:• Stronger nationwide data• Better comping tools• Easier pulling of niche lists (pre-foreclosure, tired landlords, high equity, etc.)• MLS-adjacent data without needing full MLS access• Consistent skip-tracing qualityIf your bottleneck is finding more quality leads and building better lists, PropStream is the step up.Xleads tends to be more marketing-oriented:• Pre-built motivated seller lists• Quicker outreach integrations• Simpler interface if you just want plug-and-play listsBut the data quality isn’t as deep as PropStream, and comping is limited.If your goal is “the next level,” PropStream gives you more control and better data to scale volume.Pair it with consistent skip tracing and follow-up, and that’s usually where wholesalers see the jump.
