Skip Tracing Included Free
Skip tracing on Deal Run is free and included on every paid plan. There are no credits to buy, no packs to manage, and no per-trace fees. Every investor that appears in your search results can be skip traced at no additional cost beyond your subscription.
No credits, no counters
Deal Run does not use a credit system for skip tracing. There is nothing to purchase separately, nothing to run out of mid-month, and no usage meter to watch. If an investor shows up in your search results, you can trace them. It is that simple.
This is a deliberate design choice. Other platforms charge $0.10-$0.25 per skip trace or sell credit packs that run out at the worst possible time -- right when you are working a hot deal. Deal Run eliminates that friction entirely.
How the investor cap works
Your plan determines how many investors Deal Run returns per deal search. That investor cap is the only limit that matters for skip tracing, because you can trace every single investor in your results.
| Plan | Price | Deals | Investors per Deal | Skip Tracing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 (no card required) | Browse only | -- | -- |
| Trial | Free (14 days) | 1 | 100 | Included |
| Pro | $99/mo | 15 | 250 | Included |
| Pro+ | $199/mo | 50 | 500 | Included |
For example, on the Pro plan you can run 15 deal searches per month, and each search returns up to 250 investors. You can skip trace all 250 of those investors at no extra cost. On Pro+, each search returns up to 500 investors, and again, you can trace every one of them.
The Free plan lets you browse the platform and explore features, but does not include deal searches or skip tracing. The Trial gives you 14 days with 1 deal search and up to 100 investors so you can experience the full workflow before subscribing.
What a skip trace returns
When you trace an investor, Deal Run returns their contact information within seconds:
- Phone numbers: Mobile, landline, and VoIP numbers with type labels. Mobile numbers are flagged so you know which ones can receive texts.
- Email addresses: Personal and business emails associated with the individual.
- Name resolution: For LLC-owned properties, skip tracing resolves the entity to the actual person behind it -- critical when most investors buy through LLCs.
- Mailing address: The person's current mailing address, which often differs from their investment property addresses.
Caching: trace once, use forever
Every skip trace result is cached permanently. If you trace an investor for a deal in Houston and that same investor appears in a later search in Katy, their contact info is already there -- no new trace needed, no cost, instant results.
The cache matches on investor identity, not property address. So an investor who owns properties across multiple areas only needs to be traced once. Over time, your cache grows and an increasing percentage of search results come back with contact info already populated.
Cached results older than 90 days show a "Refresh" option in case you want to update the data before an outreach campaign. Refreshing is also free.
Upgrading for more investors
If you find yourself wanting more investors per search, upgrading your plan is the way to get them. Moving from Pro to Pro+ doubles your investor cap from 250 to 500 per deal, meaning twice as many contacts to work with on every search. You can upgrade at any time from your Account page.
