Comparison
PermitPub vs BatchData
BatchData competes when buyers want programmatic nationwide permit data instead of a lead workbench.
PermitPub is for reps and operators who want buyable permit and license signals without building an API workflow.
Built for street-level reps, territory sellers, and teams that need a current reason to knock, call, mail, or visit.
Last reviewed: May 28, 2026. Based on publicly available pages and search evidence reviewed on that date; competitor products may change.
PermitPub starts with the sales signal.
You want to search, pick, and export sales leads.
Use both when it helps.
BatchData can support a data layer while PermitPub supports rep-facing lead packaging.
Different sales motions
Different tools for different parts of the sales motion.
BatchData may help with its specific data or workflow lane. PermitPub is built for the moment a public record says someone is building, opening, remodeling, licensing, or spending money in a market.
| Question | BatchData | PermitPub |
|---|---|---|
| Starting point | BatchData | Fresh public-record event: permit, license, opening, buildout, or local market signal. |
| Main buyer | Developers, real estate data teams, and application builders. | Street reps, territory sellers, contractors, merchant-services reps, and local B2B teams. |
| Primary data | Nationwide building permit and property data. | Buyable permit and license lead records, market inventory, sales angles, and locked paid details. |
| Alert/search workflow | Developer API and data delivery. | Plain-English search, lead views, market filters, CSV export, and paid unlocks. |
| API or export | API-first positioning. | CSV and custom public data feeds. Full API-style needs can be quoted as custom feeds. |
| Pricing transparency | Not confirmed in the captured public evidence. | Transparent Live Lead Inventory, monthly plans, and custom feed pricing. |
| Best-fit use case | Programmatic permit data buyers. | Finding fresh local sales triggers that a rep can work quickly. |
PermitPub advantage
Where PermitPub is built to win.
PermitPub does not ask a rep to start with a cold list and guess who might care. It starts with a fresh public-record signal and turns that into something a seller can work.
No data team required
PermitPub packages public records into searchable lead views, checkout, CSV export, and rep-ready sales angles.
Built for selling
The workflow is aimed at working a territory, not building a data pipeline from raw permit infrastructure.
Custom feeds still available
Teams that need special public sources can request a quoted custom data feed without giving up the simple lead workflow.
When to start here
Start with PermitPub when the rep needs a reason to move now.
The stronger the signal, the easier it is to decide where to spend the next hour. That is the lane PermitPub is built for.
PermitPub helps reps find the address, project signal, and market context behind a current public-record event.
You want to search, pick, and export sales leads.
Buyers can filter by market, lead view, value, and keyword before checkout.
Start with live markets, cherry-picked Live Lead Inventory orders, or monthly access before quoting a custom feed.
Better starting signal
The best sales workflow starts with a reason, not a random name.
A rep still has to sell. PermitPub helps them start with better timing: fresh permits, licenses, openings, buildouts, remodels, and local activity that can justify outreach.
- Find the public-record signal
- Filter by market, project, value, or vertical
