DealCheck Review: Is It Worth It for Rental Property Investors?
Last checked: Oct 14, 2026
Before you buy your next rental, you need to know whether the numbers work: cash flow, cash-on-cash return, cap rate, and what happens if rent comes in lower or the roof needs replacing. DealCheck is a deal-analysis app built for that question. This review covers what it does, what it costs (checked on DealCheck’s site on Oct 14, 2026), where it falls short, and who should pay for it.
Quick verdict
| What it is | Rental, BRRRR, flip, multifamily/commercial, short-term rental, and wholesale deal calculator (web, iOS, Android) |
| Free plan | Yes. Starter is free forever, with up to 15 saved properties |
| Paid plans | Plus $10/mo and Pro $20/mo as displayed on the pricing page |
| Trial | 14-day free trial on paid plans |
| Best for | Small investors who analyze several deals a month and want a faster, cleaner alternative to a spreadsheet |
| Not for | People who expect an appraisal, guaranteed comps, or property management features |
Is it worth it? For most small rental investors, start on the free Starter plan. Upgrade to Plus once you’re routinely hitting the 15-property limit or need more comps and templates. Pro makes sense for active buyers, wholesalers, or agents who need unlimited saves, comp customization, owner lookup, or branded reports.

- No credit card is required to sign up for the free plan.
- Paid plans start with a 14-day free trial, and DealCheck says you won’t be charged if you cancel before it ends.
- DealCheck offers monthly and yearly billing. The pricing page has a Pay Monthly / Pay Yearly toggle, and the yearly option is labeled “3 months free!”
Important: Prices depend on the billing toggle. When we checked, the pricing page showed $10/mo (Plus) and $20/mo (Pro) under one billing option and $14/mo (Plus) and $29/mo (Pro) under the other. Check the toggle and your checkout total before you buy.
Paid subscriptions auto-renew unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the period ends. One subscription works across web, iOS, and Android when you sign in with the same account.
What DealCheck does
According to DealCheck’s site, every plan includes:
- Rental cash flow calculator: projected NOI and cash flow for rentals, BRRRRs, and Airbnbs
- House flipping calculator: rehab costs, profit, and returns
- Multifamily & commercial calculator: rent rolls and per-unit analysis
- Return metrics: cap rate, cash-on-cash, ROI, ROE, IRR, GRM, break-even ratio, DCR, and more
- Long-term projections: cash flow and profit over time
- Creative financing scenarios: dozens of loan structures
- Sales & rental comps with ARV and rent estimates (limits by plan)
- Offer calculator: works backward to your maximum offer based on your criteria
- Property data import from public records and listings
- Shareable PDF and online reports and side-by-side property comparison
- Cloud sync across devices, plus a lender directory and a real estate glossary
Plan differences that matter
DealCheck’s pricing page lists comp customization, property owner lookup, and custom-branded reports on every plan, including the free Starter plan. The plans differ mainly in limits on saved properties, photos, comps, and templates.
Comps and public-records data are US only and subject to data availability, according to DealCheck’s help center.
How it fits a small landlord’s workflow
- Import or enter the property: price, taxes, insurance, rent.
- Set your assumptions: financing, closing costs, rehab budget, vacancy, repairs/CapEx, management.
- Check comps for ARV and market rent (and treat them as a starting point).
- Review cash flow and returns, then use the offer calculator to find your max price.
- Share a PDF with your lender or partner.
The tool is only as good as your inputs. Vacancy, repairs, and management assumptions drive the answer more than the software does.
Pros
- Free plan you can actually use, with 15 saved deals and no credit card
- Fast: quicker than building a spreadsheet for every property
- Covers many strategies: buy-and-hold, BRRRR, flips, multifamily, short-term rentals, and wholesale
- Shareable reports for lenders and partners
- Offer calculator keeps you disciplined on price
- Low cost compared to hiring someone to underwrite a deal
Cons
- It’s a calculator, not an appraisal. Comps and rent estimates depend on available data.
- US only for comps and public-records data
- No property management features. It won’t collect rent or manage tenants (pair it with TurboTenant or RentRedi).
- Billing rates need checking. Confirm the monthly vs yearly price on the toggle before you buy.
- Plan limits on saved properties, comps, and templates push active users to upgrade
DealCheck vs a spreadsheet
A good spreadsheet is free and fully customizable. DealCheck’s advantages are speed, consistency (every deal run the same way), data import and comps, and clean reports. If you look at one deal a year, a spreadsheet is fine. If you’re screening several listings a week, DealCheck usually saves time.
Memphis note
Memphis attracts a lot of out-of-town buy-and-hold investors, and listing photos and pro formas don’t always match the condition of the house. Use DealCheck to stress-test the deal (lower rent, higher repairs, longer vacancy), not to confirm a seller’s numbers.
Who should pick which plan
- Starter (free): You’re looking at a few deals and want to learn the metrics. Stay here until you hit the 15-property cap.
- Plus: You analyze deals regularly, want up to 50 saved properties, more comps and photos, and saved templates.
- Pro: You make offers often, wholesale, or present deals to clients, and need unlimited saves and comps (plus whatever Pro-only features the trial confirms).
- Skip DealCheck: You’re not buying in the next year, or you already have a spreadsheet you trust and use consistently.
Bottom line
Yes, DealCheck is worth it for most active small rental investors, mainly because the free plan lets you prove that before paying. Start free, run your next few deals, and upgrade only when the limits slow you down. Check the billing toggle so you know which rate you’re paying, and never let a calculator replace a walkthrough and local knowledge.
