The short answer
The unit differs. A Tracerfy normal trace uses 1 credit per hit, and you buy credits as you go or through a monthly plan. A BatchData plan is a fixed monthly fee for a set number of records, paid whether or not you use them all.
On those published terms, taking whichever way of paying Tracerfy costs less that month, Tracerfy comes to less than BatchData at 10,000, 50,000, 100,000 and 300,000 records a month. The monthly table below shows each figure. This page compares published prices only, not either company's data, hit rate or match rate.

Both companies publish monthly plans at these volumes, so this view prices one month of tracing rather than one list. Each figure is computed from the published terms, not typed. Tracerfy rows read a normal trace with every record a hit, the most that month can cost there; no hit or match rate is assumed. BatchData rows take the smallest plan whose records cover the month.

Minimums, subscriptions and what happens to unused credits
- Tracerfy: no subscription is required. Pay-as-you-go credits are $0.02 each and, once bought, never expire. The monthly plans (Growth $700, Scale $1,500 and Business $3,000) lower the price per credit to $0.01-$0.014, and their credits reset each billing cycle. A minimum purchase is not stated on the pricing page as we read it.
- BatchData: skip tracing is sold as monthly plans, from $2,000 a month for 100,000 records, and the plan is the minimum. Its skip tracing page and FAQ refer to pay-as-you-go, but its pricing page lists no pay-as-you-go price. The terms we recorded do not say whether records left unused in a month carry over.
- Skipmatch: no subscription; prepaid credit is optional; each list is quoted and paid for on its own, from 50 to 100,000 records. Minimum charge $0.50 when any record matches.
When each is the better fit
- Tracerfy fits a buyer who is happy to hold a credit balance, from a small list bought pay-as-you-go to steady volume on a monthly plan. It also publishes other trace types, such as advanced, enhanced and parcel (APN) traces and do-not-call scrubbing, each at its own credit count.
- BatchData fits a team tracing close to a plan's allowance every month, or one that wants skip tracing through an API. At full use its Growth plan works out to $0.02 a record. Its skip tracing page points people who want to upload a list without coding to its BatchLeads platform.
Another option, priced per record
Disclosure: Skipmatch runs this site, and this section is about Skipmatch. Skipmatch is one of the services compared.
On the published terms above, Skipmatch does not come to less at every volume: at 10,000, 50,000, 100,000 and 300,000 records a month, at least one of Tracerfy and BatchData comes to less, as the table shows. Skipmatch also does not build lists, look up single owners, or scrub numbers against do-not-call lists. It fits when you already have the list and want it traced once, without a plan or a balance:
- Price: $0.03 a record at any list size. The whole list is priced at that one rate, and the total is shown before you pay. See pricing.
- Billed: per matched record, per order; no subscription; card or prepaid credit payment.
- What you get: the file back with your columns unchanged, up to 10 phones per owner, each labelled mobile, landline or VoIP, and emails where they exist.
- Limits: 50 to 100,000 records per list. Minimum charge $0.50 when any record matches.
Calling and texting the numbers you get from any of these services is regulated, and compliance is your responsibility. This is not legal advice; read the permissible-use terms.
How we checked
Each company's terms were read from its own pricing pages on the date shown next to them and are quoted as of Sept 2026. The monthly table multiplies each published unit price by the month's volume and floors to the cent; for a plan it takes one month of the smallest plan that covers the volume. Tracerfy's rows read every record as a hit, which gives the most the month can cost; no hit or match rate is assumed for anyone. This page says nothing about either company's data quality. Skipmatch's figures come from the same price ladder checkout uses. Company names are used only to identify each service. For every tracked service in one table, see the compare page.
