Deal Run vs DealMachine: Finding Buyers vs Finding Sellers

DealMachine and Deal Run address opposite ends of the wholesaling pipeline. DealMachine helps you find motivated sellers through driving for dollars, property data, and direct mail. Deal Run helps you find cash buyers, analyze deals, and market properties for disposition.

They're not competitors — they're complementary tools that cover different stages of the deal lifecycle.

Feature comparison

Using both together

The most effective wholesaling stack covers both acquisition and disposition. A common pairing:

• DealMachine — drive neighborhoods, photograph distressed properties, pull owner data, send direct mail, skip trace sellers, get deals under contract
• Deal Run — find cash buyers near the deal, run comp analysis, estimate repairs, create marketing pages, send deal blasts, manage offers

DealMachine Basic ($119 a seat, or $99 billed annually) plus Deal Run Analyze + Sell ($99/mo) is $218 a month for one user ($198 with DealMachine billed annually), still less than many single-platform alternatives that try to cover both sides.

When DealMachine alone is enough

If your bottleneck is finding deals and you already have a reliable buyer network, DealMachine alone covers acquisition. Its driving for dollars workflow, property data, and direct mail tools are purpose-built for finding motivated sellers.

When you need Deal Run too

Once you consistently get deals under contract but struggle to sell them quickly, the disposition side becomes the bottleneck. Deal Run solves that specific problem — identifying who's buying in your area, getting their contact info, and getting your deal in front of them with professional marketing.

Deal Run at a glance

Deal Run (our product) is web and iPhone software for wholesalers and small investors with a deal to sell. It runs MLS-grade comps, ARV, a repair estimate from the property's photos and a max offer, then finds landlords and flippers who recently bought near the property in public records, skip-traces their phones and emails, builds a deal page and sends the deal from your own Gmail.

Plans: Analyze is $29/mo for deal analysis, with one lifetime disposition deal and up to 100 buyers. Analyze + Sell is $99/mo, or $83/mo billed annually: 15 disposition deals a month, 100 skip-traced buyers per deal. Or pay per deal: $2 to analyze, $20 with 100 buyers. See pricing.

What it doesn't do: everything DealMachine is built for. There's no driving for dollars, no seller lead lists, no direct mail and no dialer. Text blasts to your buyers go out from your own number. It keeps a buyer list rather than a full CRM. Deal Run is made by Deal Run LLC in Houston, Texas; see our trust page.

The bottom line

DealMachine finds sellers. Deal Run finds buyers. If you're looking for a DealMachine alternative because you need buyer-facing tools, Deal Run isn't a replacement — it's the other half of your pipeline at about the same $99/mo price point.
