ChatARV Alternative: Deal Run Offers AI Comps Nationwide Plus Full Disposition

ChatARV is one of the newer entrants in real estate investing software, launched in 2025 with a focused pitch: AI-powered comparable property selection and ARV calculation. The idea is straightforward — instead of manually picking comps and adjusting values yourself, ChatARV uses artificial intelligence to analyze hundreds of properties and return the most relevant comparables in about 60 seconds.

It is a compelling concept, and ChatARV does it reasonably well. But the platform has two significant constraints. First, every plan is a report meter — 100 properties a month at $89, 300 at $149, 600 at $249 — with no per-report overage to buy, and none of those numbers are visible until you have created an account and put a card on file. Second, ChatARV only does comps. No buyer finding. No skip tracing. No deal marketing. No disposition tools of any kind.

Deal Run's AI-powered comp analysis works in all 50 states, and it is bundled with investor identification, skip tracing, deal marketing, and outreach tools.

What ChatARV does well

• Fast AI comp selection. ChatARV's core feature works as advertised. Input an address, and the AI returns the top 6 comparable properties in about a minute. For investors who struggle with comp selection or want a second opinion on their manual picks, this saves time.
• Professional comp reports. ChatARV generates clean, shareable reports that you can send to partners, lenders, or buyers. The reports include comp details, adjustments, and the calculated ARV.
• Simple interface. The product is focused and the interface reflects that. There is no feature bloat. You enter an address, get comps, and see your ARV. The simplicity is a strength for users who just want a quick answer.
• Chrome extension. ChatARV offers a Chrome extension that works with Zillow, letting you analyze properties directly from Zillow listings without switching between tools.
• Nationwide coverage, including non-disclosure states. ChatARV now advertises comps in non-disclosure states, a capability it flags as new on its own site. Entry pricing is $89/month for 100 comp reports.

Where ChatARV falls short

Your bill is set by how many properties you look at

This is ChatARV's biggest structural constraint. Every plan caps the number of comp reports you can run in a month — 100 on Basic, 300 on Starter, 600 on Pro — and there is no per-report overage available. Hit the cap and you either upgrade a tier or stop underwriting until the meter resets.

That is a hard thing to budget against in wholesaling, where a slow month and a hot month can differ by 5x in properties screened. Deal Run charges $29/mo on Analyze regardless of how many properties you run through it.

Comps only — no disposition

ChatARV does one thing: comparable property analysis. It does not find buyers, skip trace contacts, create deal marketing pages, send deal blast emails, manage a buyer list, or track your deal pipeline. Everything that happens after you know the ARV — which is the majority of the wholesale workflow — requires separate tools.

Repair estimates, but nothing looks at the house

ChatARV produces a repair cost estimate you then adjust, but there is no photo-based AI analysis of property condition behind it — the starting number comes from the property's attributes, not from what the kitchen and roof actually look like. For wholesalers, repair estimation is critical to setting the right MAO and marketing price, and Deal Run builds that number from the walkthrough photos.

No property detail data

ChatARV focuses on comps, not property details. There is no mortgage balance lookup, no equity estimate, no motivation flags (foreclosure, divorce, tax lien), and no owner contact information. These data points are important for understanding a deal's full picture.

Limited track record

ChatARV launched in 2025 and is run by a small team. While the product works, the company's longevity and continued development are less certain than more established platforms. For a tool you rely on for deal decisions, platform stability matters.

Feature comparison

The non-disclosure state question

Non-disclosure states deserve their own check, because sale prices there are not part of the public record — any tool that covers them is inferring or licensing that data rather than reading it. ChatARV added non-disclosure coverage recently and still flags it as new. These are the markets to test before you commit:

• Texas — the largest wholesale market in the US
• Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi — active investor markets
• Missouri, Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, Utah, Wyoming — growing markets

ChatARV publishes no state-by-state breakdown of where that coverage is live or how the prices are sourced, so spot-check a few sales you already know before you underwrite off it. Deal Run's comp analysis pulls from MLS data and public records in all 50 states.

Who should use ChatARV

• Investors who only need comps and ARV (no disposition tools needed)
• Investors whose monthly property count fits predictably inside one tier's report cap
• Users who want a single-purpose AI comp tool and will pay $89/mo for 100 reports
• Zillow power users who want the Chrome extension workflow

Who should consider Deal Run

• Wholesalers who need comps AND buyer finding in one tool
• Anyone whose monthly volume swings, since Deal Run does not meter analyses per report
• Investors who want AI repair estimation in addition to AI comps
• Wholesalers who need deal marketing, outreach, and pipeline management
• Anyone who wants a single platform for the entire deal lifecycle
