An honest comparison. Both start from on-market MLS listings -- the real difference is how much of the analysis is done for you. Here is which one fits, and why some investors run both.
Privy shows you on-market deals and comps to analyze. RE Flip Finder hands you the finished underwrite. Privy is a real-time MLS and comps platform: it surfaces on-market listings as they post and runs fast automated comps (its Comparative Search and LiveCMA) across near-nationwide coverage. You still set ARV, estimate rehab, and work out your offer on each property.
RE Flip Finder takes that last step for you. In the counties it covers, every listed single-family flip is underwritten 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 open the dashboard to graded deals, not comps to work through.
This is not on-market versus off-market -- both are on-market. It is comps to analyze versus a finished decision. Privy covers far more of the country and more strategies today. RE Flip Finder goes deeper on the single-family flip in the counties it operates. Some investors use Privy for reach and RE Flip Finder for a done-for-you underwrite where it covers.
Disclosure: This page is published by RE Flip Finder. Privy is our closest competitor -- both of us work on-market deals -- so we have tried to be extra fair, including where Privy beats us. The goal is to help you pick the right tool for how you actually work 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 search you still have to comp out.
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.
An established real estate investing platform (roughly ten years old) built on real-time MLS data, updated many times a day. Its patented Comparative Search surfaces on-market listings that match successful investment patterns, and its LiveCMA comps tool runs fast comparables with side-by-side photos and historical flip data. It reports about 97 percent MLS coverage across roughly 150 million properties nationwide.
It is a search-and-comps engine that spans flips, rentals, and wholesale. It shows you the opportunity and the comps, but you set ARV, estimate rehab, and decide the offer on each property yourself. It includes a lead-tracking CRM. It does not skip trace.
Most comparisons between two on-market tools pretend one is just a cheaper version of the other. These two are not the same product at different prices. They stop at different points in the workflow.
Privy is a search-and-comps tool. Its job is to surface on-market listings worth a look and give you the comps to size them up, fast, across almost the whole country. That is genuinely useful, and Privy is good at it -- the real-time MLS feed, the Comparative Search, and the LiveCMA before-and-after flip data are why it has lasted a decade and why investors in many markets rely on it. But once it puts the listing and the comps in front of you, the analysis is yours: you read the comps, decide ARV, estimate the rehab, and back into an offer, property by property. On a busy market that is still real time on every candidate.
RE Flip Finder does that analysis for you, on covered counties. It runs the same kind of on-market pass -- but instead of stopping at comps, it finishes the underwrite. On every listed single-family flip in a county it covers, it builds ARV from recent sold comps, estimates the rehab, computes the ROI, assigns a letter grade (A to F), and hands you the offer number, before you ever open the deal. The 15 to 45 minutes per property you would spend comping and calculating is already done, so your time goes to the handful worth an offer today.
Comps are not a decision. Privy is best at showing you on-market opportunities and the comps to analyze. RE Flip Finder is best at telling you which listed flips actually pencil, and what to offer. Same on-market listings; different amount of work left on your plate.

Because they overlap on on-market listings but stop at different points, Privy and RE Flip Finder can pair well when your work spans more than one market or strategy:
One gives you breadth across the country and across strategies. The other gives you a finished underwrite on the single-family flips in the counties it covers. If you invest in more than one market, that split can be worth running both.
Rule of thumb: broad coverage and comps you analyze yourself -- Privy. A finished underwrite and offer number on single-family flips where it covers -- RE Flip Finder. Investing across markets -- there is a case for running both.
For on-market flips in a covered county, yes, and it takes a different final step. Privy surfaces on-market listings and runs automated comps across near-nationwide MLS, then leaves the analysis to you. RE Flip Finder does that underwriting for you -- ARV from sold comps, a rehab estimate, ROI, an A-to-F grade, and an offer number on every listed flip, before you log in. Privy covers far more of the country and more strategies; RE Flip Finder goes deeper on the single-family flip decision where it operates.
No, and it is deliberate. RE Flip Finder does not skip trace, send mail, or make automated calls or texts. It focuses on on-market deals that are already listed and priced, so you make contact through the listing agent or your own CRM, avoiding the TCPA and auto-dialer risk of cold outreach. Privy does not skip trace either -- both are on-market tools, not cold-outreach platforms -- so they are alike on this point.
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 rather than trust a black box. Privy gives you a comps tool to do that read yourself; RE Flip Finder does the read and hands you the result.
It depends on coverage. Privy's investor plans run from about $47/month for one state to about $149/month for national access, with an agent plan near $37/month, so a single-state investor can start below RE Flip Finder. RE Flip Finder is Contact us for pricing$99/month flat, with a $0.99 21-day trial and everything included. Privy is often cheaper for one market; RE Flip Finder buys you a finished underwrite instead of comps you work through yourself.
Not everywhere yet. It covers select US counties, deepest in California, and focuses on single-family fix-and-flip. Privy reports about 97 percent MLS coverage across roughly 150 million properties, so its reach is much broader today. If you invest outside a covered county, Privy's coverage is wider. Check reflipfinder.com for the current county list.
