An honest comparison. These two tools sit on opposite ends of the deal funnel -- here is which one fits your strategy, and why plenty of investors run both.
DealMachine finds off-market leads. RE Flip Finder grades on-market deals. DealMachine is a lead-finding platform: you drive for dollars, build filtered lists, skip trace owners, and run direct mail to owners who have not listed. You still analyze each property yourself.
RE Flip Finder works the other end. It underwrites every on-market single-family flip in the counties it covers before you log in -- ARV from recent sold comps, a rehab estimate, ROI, a letter grade (A to F), and the offer number -- so you can send an offer the same day instead of re-running comps by hand.
A list is not a deal. If your pipeline runs on driving and mail, DealMachine is your sourcing engine. If you buy listed deals and the bottleneck is underwriting each one, RE Flip Finder removes that grind. Many investors run DealMachine for off-market and RE Flip Finder for on-market.
Disclosure: This page is published by RE Flip Finder. We have tried to describe DealMachine fairly, including where it beats us. The goal is to help you pick the right tool for how you actually source deals -- even when that tool is not ours.
Every listed single-family flip in a covered county is underwritten before you log in. ARV is built from recent sold comps you can review, rehab is estimated, and each deal gets an ROI, a letter grade (A to F), and an offer number. You open the dashboard to a ranked list of graded deals, not a pile of raw leads.
Scout, the in-app assistant, pulls comps, drafts your outreach, and answers questions on any deal. Scout drafts; you send. There is a built-in CRM, and you can import addresses you sourced elsewhere by CSV.
DealMachine is built for finding off-market deals. Drive neighborhoods and tag distressed-looking properties on a GPS route, build lists from 700+ data points and 70+ filters, skip trace owners (unlimited on paid plans), and launch direct mail. There is a mobile app and an in-app real estate assistant on the higher tiers.
It is a finding and outreach tool, not a deal grader. Once you have a property, you pull comps, set ARV, estimate rehab, and work out your offer yourself. Direct mail runs about 55 to 72 cents per piece depending on volume.
Most tool comparisons pretend every product does the same thing at a different price. These two do not. They sit on opposite ends of the acquisition funnel.
DealMachine is a finding tool. Its job is surfacing off-market owners -- by driving, by list filters -- and getting you their contact info to mail or call. That is genuinely useful, and DealMachine is one of the best at driving for dollars. But off-market is a long road: you drive or build the list, skip trace, mail, follow up, and it can take months of outreach and negotiation to get one property under contract. And once you have a property in hand, DealMachine hands you data and steps back. You do the underwriting.
RE Flip Finder is an underwriting tool, aimed at on-market deals. These are already listed and priced -- so instead of months of outreach, you can just send an offer and buy. What RE Flip Finder removes is the other grind: the 15 to 45 minutes per property you spend pulling comps, setting ARV, estimating rehab, and backing into an offer. It runs that pass on every listing in a covered county before you open it, grades the result A to F, and hands you the offer number, so your time goes to the handful worth an offer today.
A list is not a deal. DealMachine is best at handing you off-market leads to work. RE Flip Finder is best at telling you which listed deals actually pencil, and what to offer. Different jobs, same funnel.

Because they cover different halves of the funnel, DealMachine and RE Flip Finder stack cleanly:
One feeds you owners who have not listed. The other tells you which of the listed deals are worth an offer. Neither replaces the other.
Rule of thumb: sourcing off-market owners by driving and mail -- DealMachine. Grading on-market deals and knowing what to offer -- RE Flip Finder. Doing both -- run them together.
Only partly, because they do different jobs. DealMachine finds off-market owners by driving, lists, skip tracing, and mail. RE Flip Finder grades on-market listed deals for you, with ARV, rehab, ROI, an A-to-F grade, and an offer number. If your deals come off the MLS, it can replace the hours you spend underwriting. If they come from driving and mail, it does not replace DealMachine's sourcing.
No, and it is deliberate. RE Flip Finder does not drive routes, skip trace, mail, or make automated calls or texts. It focuses on on-market deals already listed and priced, so you make contact through the listing agent or your own CRM. That avoids skip-trace and mail bills and the TCPA and auto-dialer risk of cold outreach. Driving and skip tracing are DealMachine's lane.
It builds ARV from recent sold comparable sales near the subject, filtered for similar type, beds, baths, and square footage, and shows you the comps behind every number so you can check the work.
RE Flip Finder is Contact us for pricing$99/month flat (with a $0.99 21-day trial), everything included.
