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.
PropStream finds off-market leads. RE Flip Finder grades on-market deals. PropStream is a property-data and list-building platform: it pulls targeted owner lists across 160M+ US properties and skip traces them so you can run mail and cold outreach. 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 off-market outreach, PropStream 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 PropStream for off-market and RE Flip Finder for on-market.
Disclosure: This page is published by RE Flip Finder. We have tried to describe PropStream 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 spreadsheet of raw records.
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.
One of the largest property-data platforms in the US, with 160M+ public records plus MLS data nationwide: ownership, tax, mortgage and lien info, and more. You filter by equity, owner type, and other criteria to build targeted lists, then skip trace to get owner contact info for outreach. The Essentials plan includes 25,000 monthly exports.
It is a data and list tool, not a deal grader. It has a comps tool, but you pull comps, set ARV, estimate rehab, and work out your offer on each property yourself. Skip tracing (about 12 cents per contact), direct mail (from about 52 cents per postcard), and extra seats ($30/month) are billed on top.
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.
PropStream is a finding tool. Its job is surfacing owners who might sell and getting you their contact info, across the whole country. That is genuinely hard, and PropStream is good at it -- the data depth and the skip tracing are why it is a category leader. But off-market is a long road: you skip trace, you send mail or cold-call, you follow up, and it can take months of outreach and negotiation to get one property under contract. And the moment you have a property in hand, PropStream 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, then 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. PropStream is best at handing you a list 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, PropStream 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 to contact -- PropStream. Grading on-market deals and knowing what to offer -- RE Flip Finder. Doing both -- run them together.
Only partly, because they do different jobs. PropStream finds and skip traces off-market owners for outreach. RE Flip Finder grades on-market listed deals for you, with ARV, rehab, ROI, an A-to-F grade, and an offer number. RE Flip Finder does not build owner lists or skip trace. If your deals come off the MLS, it can replace the hours you spend underwriting. If they come from mail, it does not replace PropStream's sourcing.
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. Skipping outbound means no skip-trace bills and none of the TCPA and state auto-dialer risk of cold outreach. For owner contact and mail, that is PropStream's lane -- which is why the two complement each other.
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.
Both start at Contact us for pricing$99/month. RE Flip Finder is $99 flat (with a $0.99 21-day trial), everything included. PropStream's Essentials plan is also $99, but skip tracing, direct mail, and extra seats are metered on top. Price is the wrong axis, though -- you are paying for two different jobs. Match the tool to where your deals come from.
Not everywhere yet. It covers select US counties, deepest in California, and focuses on single-family fix-and-flip. PropStream's data is nationwide. If you invest outside a covered county, PropStream's coverage is broader today. Check reflipfinder.com for the current county list.
RE Flip Finder underwrites every listed flip in a covered county -- ARV, rehab, ROI, a grade, and the offer number -- before you log in.
