ChatARV vs DealCheck vs Deal Run: AI Analysis Tools Compared

ChatARV: speed, with limits
ChatARV's Chrome extension gives you near-instant ARV estimates while browsing Zillow or Redfin. It's fast and convenient. The critical limitation is the meter: every plan caps how many properties you can analyze in a month — 100 at $89, 300 at $149, 600 at $249 — and there is no overage to buy. If you're screening heavily, you upgrade or you wait for the reset.
DealCheck: the established calculator
DealCheck is the most widely used deal analysis tool with over 350,000 users. It provides solid calculators for flip, rental, BRRRR, and wholesale analysis. The free tier is genuinely useful, and paid plans add comp lookups and reports. It works everywhere but provides no disposition tools.
Deal Run: analysis plus disposition
Deal Run provides AI-powered comp analysis with condition scoring (works in all states), photo-based repair estimation, and MAO calculators for four exit strategies. Then it goes beyond analysis: find investors near your deal, skip trace their contact info, create marketing pages, and send deal blasts.
The bottom line
ChatARV is fastest for quick ARV estimates but capped by report count. DealCheck is the most affordable calculator. Deal Run costs more but provides analysis AND the full disposition pipeline. If analysis is all you need, DealCheck at $10–$29/mo is hard to beat. If you need to go from analysis to closed deal, Deal Run covers both for $99/mo.
