DealCheck vs PropStream: Deal Calculator vs Data Platform

Pick DealCheck if you need to know whether a deal’s numbers work; pick PropStream if you need leads and owner contacts. DealCheck is a deal analysis calculator that tells you whether a property's numbers work. PropStream is a property data platform that helps you find properties and build lead lists. Understanding the difference is critical because choosing the wrong tool means paying for capabilities you do not need while missing ones you do.

What DealCheck does

DealCheck is a deal analysis tool. You input a property address and your numbers — purchase price, estimated repairs, ARV, holding costs, financing terms — and DealCheck calculates whether the deal is profitable. It supports four analysis types:

• Fix and flip: Projected profit, ROI, and cash-on-cash return
• Rental property: Monthly cash flow, cap rate, cash-on-cash return, projected appreciation
• BRRRR: Combined flip + rental analysis with refinance modeling
• Commercial: NOI, cap rate, GRM, and debt coverage ratio

DealCheck also offers comp lookup to help estimate ARV (up to 10 comps on Plus, unlimited on Pro). The tool produces PDF reports that you can share with partners, lenders, or buyers. It is one of the most widely used deal calculators among small investors.

Pricing (checked October 30, 2026): DealCheck's pricing page lists Starter free (up to 5 sales and rental comps), Plus from $10/mo (up to 10) and Pro from $20/mo (unlimited) billed yearly, higher month-to-month, with a 14-day free trial on paid plans. The page also offers yearly billing with three months free, so confirm which billing period a price applies to at checkout.

What PropStream does

PropStream is a property data and list-building platform. It aggregates public records, tax data, mortgage information, and MLS data into a searchable database. You use PropStream to find properties that match your criteria — distressed owners, absentee landlords, high-equity properties, pre-foreclosures — and build targeted lists for direct mail, cold calling, or other acquisition strategies.

• Property search: Filter by ownership type, equity, distress indicators, property characteristics
• List building: Build targeted lists for direct mail and outreach campaigns
• Skip tracing: Find contact information for property owners (12¢ per contact on Essentials, or free with the Connect add-on)
• Comp data: Comparable sales lookup for ARV estimation
• Property detail: Tax records, mortgage balances, ownership history, liens
• Investor Outreach (add-on, since October 22, 2026): maps investors who bought near a property and lets you skip trace, call or email them; $70/mo and requires Connect

Pricing (checked October 30, 2026): Essentials $99/mo, Pro $199/mo, Elite $699/mo ($81, $165 and $583 a month billed annually). Connect is $30/mo on Essentials and included on Pro and Elite. Details are in our PropStream pricing breakdown.

Head-to-head comparison

Where DealCheck wins

Deeper deal analysis

DealCheck's analysis capabilities are significantly more detailed than PropStream's. The flip analysis includes holding cost projections, financing scenarios, and ROI calculations. The rental analysis includes 35-year buy-and-hold projections with appreciation, rent growth, and mortgage paydown modeling. PropStream shows property data and basic estimates, but it does not offer the same depth of financial modeling.

BRRRR-specific analysis

DealCheck is one of the few tools with dedicated BRRRR analysis — combining the rehab phase, the rental phase, and the refinance event into a single model. PropStream has no BRRRR-specific feature.

Lower cost

At $20/mo billed yearly for the Pro plan (higher month-to-month) versus PropStream Essentials at $81/mo billed annually ($99 month to month), DealCheck costs about 75% less comparing yearly prices ($20 vs $81 a month). If you only need analysis and already have your properties identified, DealCheck saves significant money.

Better mobile experience

DealCheck's mobile app is focused on quick deal analysis in the field. PropStream's app, while functional, is more oriented toward desktop-style property search on a smaller screen.

Where PropStream wins

Finding deals in the first place

DealCheck assumes you already have a property to analyze. PropStream helps you find that property. For wholesalers and investors who need to build lead lists, identify distressed properties, and find absentee owners, PropStream is the starting point. DealCheck has no equivalent functionality.

Property data depth

PropStream provides comprehensive property details: ownership history, mortgage balances, tax assessment, liens, and transfer records. DealCheck shows the numbers you input plus comp data, but it does not aggregate property-level data from public records.

Skip tracing

PropStream offers skip tracing as an add-on to find owner contact information. DealCheck has no skip tracing capability at all.

List building and export

PropStream's core workflow is building filtered property lists and exporting them for direct mail or calling campaigns. DealCheck does not build lists or support outreach workflows.

What about selling the deal?

DealCheck doesn't help you sell a deal once you've analyzed it. PropStream now does part of that job: its Investor Outreach add-on ($70/mo on top of Connect, launched October 22, 2026) finds investors who bought near a property and lets you skip trace, call or email them. Neither tool offers:

• Deal marketing pages (shareable property pages with offer submission)
• A deal blast to a saved buyer list
• A buyer list CRM for managing investor relationships

So for disposition — finding a buyer and closing the sale — DealCheck users need a separate tool, and PropStream users either add Investor Outreach or use one.

Which one should you choose?

Choose DealCheck if:

• You already have deals coming in and just need to run numbers
• You evaluate rental properties, BRRRR deals, or commercial properties
• You want the cheapest analysis tool available
• You share PDF reports with partners or lenders regularly

Choose PropStream if:

• You need to find properties before you can analyze them
• You run direct mail or cold calling campaigns from lead lists
• You need property-level data (ownership, mortgage, liens)
• You use skip tracing to contact property owners

Choose Deal Run if:

• You need analysis AND disposition in one tool (or just analysis: Analyze is $29/mo)
• You want to find buyers, not just properties
• You want skip-traced buyers, a deal page and a Blast from your own Gmail built in
• You are tired of paying for multiple tools that do not integrate
