DealMachine review: the lead tool I tell everyone to buy first

DealMachine finds any property and its owner, then helps you reach them by mail, phone or email. I've used it for as long as it's existed. It's the first software I tell anybody to buy.

The short answer

DealMachine at a glance: my verdict

DealMachine is the lead tool I tell everyone to buy first.

For wholesalers, investors and home-service companies that sell to homeowners, it's worth it.

Recorded July 27, 2026, the day the new platform went live. Prices change, so check the pricing section below for today's numbers.

The basics

What is DealMachine?

DealMachine (some people search it as Deal Machine) is a property and owner data platform for real estate investors, wholesalers, agents and home-service companies. You search any U.S. property or owner, reveal phone numbers and emails, send postcards, drive for dollars with the mobile app, and export lists or connect them to your other tools.

DealMachine has been around since 2017. On July 27, 2026 it launched a new platform, rebuilt from the ground up. It's web plus a mobile app, and the app was rebuilt too (the new iPhone version came out Oct 7, 2026).

150M+properties
240M+people
800+filters
3,143U.S. counties

Numbers as DealMachine states them on its site, Oct 2026.

What's new in the new DealMachine

  • One search bar for everything. Look up a property, find a person, or ask AI for a list, across the whole country at once.
  • AI built in. Plain-English list building, AI comps reports and an AI postcard designer.
  • A rebuilt mobile app. Faster driving for dollars with live route tracking and one-tap adding.
  • Connections on every plan. API, CLI, webhooks, Zapier, HubSpot, and MCP links to Claude and ChatGPT.
My experience

How I use DealMachine (and why it's the first tool I'd buy)

David FrizzellWholesaler, The Wholesalers Toolbox

I've used DealMachine for as long as it's existed. I started out driving for dollars, rolling down streets and adding houses from my phone. Today it builds the lists for my cold email campaigns.

Lots of tools come and go. DealMachine is the only lead-gen tool I recommend, and I mean it when I say it's the first software anybody should buy. You can't make an offer to an owner you can't find.

And it isn't only for investors. The same leads work for real estate, contractors, solar and more.

DealMachine even quotes me on its own comps page, about the new AI. I said it's going to be a benefit to everybody using it, and I still think so.

  • Driving for dollars. Where I started: tap a house from the street and get the owner.
  • Cold email lists. I export clean owner lists for my campaigns.
  • The Postcard Center. In my view, its data is second to none.
  • More than real estate. Contractors and solar teams use the same homeowner data.

Step by step

How DealMachine works, step by step

DealMachine works in four steps: find properties, reveal the owner, reach out, and follow up. Searching and browsing are free. You spend data credits only when you reveal a contact or export a record.

  1. Find properties

    Type an address, an owner's name, or a request like “absentee owners with high equity in my county.” Or use the filters, or drive for dollars.

  2. Reveal the owner

    One data credit per contact gets you their phone numbers and emails, with line type and a DNC flag.

  3. Reach out

    Send postcards from the Direct Mail app, or export a DNC-scrubbed list for cold email or calls. Need the words? Use my wholesale real estate scripts.

  4. Follow up

    Run mail campaigns of up to 5 steps, see who scanned your QR code, and turn the scan into an opportunity. When a seller says yes, grab my wholesale real estate contracts.

Features

DealMachine features, one by one

DealMachine's main features are AI search, nationwide property and owner data, skip tracing, a driving for dollars app, built-in postcards, list exports and API access. Here's what each one does and how I use it.

DealMachine driving for dollars app with live route tracking and properties on the map
Driving for dollars

DealMachine driving for dollars: the app I started on

Driving for dollars means driving neighborhoods, spotting run-down or vacant houses, and finding the owners. DealMachine has always had the best driving for dollars app, and the rebuilt one is faster.

  • Live route and mileage tracking
  • Tap a house to add it, even with weak signal
  • Owner info, comps, photos and notes on your phone
  • Drive history and route replay, synced to the web
DealMachine skip tracing: owner phone numbers and emails revealed on a property
Skip tracing

DealMachine skip tracing: owner phones and emails

Skip tracing is finding an owner's phone and email. In DealMachine it's one click and one data credit per contact, and DealMachine claims a 95%+ match rate.

  • Phones and emails, with carrier, line type and a DNC flag
  • Skip trace a whole list when you export it
  • Reverse search by a person's name or phone number
  • No second charge for the same contact in the same billing period
DealMachine postcards: Direct Mail app with an AI-designed postcard
Postcards

DealMachine postcards and direct mail (the Postcard Center)

The Direct Mail app is what longtime users like me call the Postcard Center. In my view, the data behind it is second to none.

  • AI designer: prompt, theme, size and property photo, then refine and publish
  • See who scanned your QR code and turn the scan into an opportunity
  • Campaigns of up to 5 steps
  • First-class mail with delivery tracking
  • Switching? Import your own artwork or HTML designs

From $0.75 a postcard on Basic ($0.70 on Pro). See the full table under pricing.

DealMachine AI search turning a plain-English request into a property list
AI

DealMachine AI: just ask for the list

Type what you want in plain English and DealMachine AI builds the filtered list. It can also research a market, find more deals like one you like, and write an AI comps report. It has a usage limit: AI runs on a monthly allowance of AI credits, separate from data credits. DealMachine doesn't publish the amount and says it's hard to hit.

  • Plain-English list building
  • AI comps report with an ARV range
  • Connects to Claude and ChatGPT through MCP
  • Optional: every filter still works without it, and searches stay free
  • Has a usage limit: AI runs on its own monthly AI credits

Who uses it

DealMachine for contractors, solar and more

DealMachine isn't only for investors. Contractors, roofers, solar companies, agents and lenders use the same homeowner data to build their own lead lists. Like I always say, the leads work for real estate, contractors, solar and more.

Wholesalers and investors

Pre-foreclosure, tax-delinquent, vacant and high-equity owners, ready for mail, calls or cold email.

Roofers and contractors

Try: “Owner-occupied properties in Phoenix with roofs older than 15 years.”

Solar companies

Try: “Owner-occupied homes in San Diego worth $400K to $800K built before 2010.”

Agents, lenders and more

Equity, mortgage age and multi-property owners for agents, loan officers, insurance and property managers.

Example searches from DealMachine's own solar and home services pages.

What DealMachine users say

“I was buying stuff off the MLS, and it was kind of crap, to be honest. I kind of got hooked on DealMachine here as kind of like my main marketing strategy, and sort of never looked back. By and large, it's been like the biggest factor in our growth.”
Ryan Deasy, via DealMachine.com
“The data you get in DealMachine, guys, it's freaking crazy, right? ... They almost got your blood type when you pull up a lead in DealMachine. ... When's the last time they paid [their] taxes? How much is their mortgage? What do they owe?”
Dedric Polite, via DealMachine.com
“We've been using DealMachine and the postcards to acquire properties ... and it's been an amazing tool. ... I couldn't recommend it highly enough to any other local investors, or any investors for that matter.”
Michael Doherty, via DealMachine.com

Every paid plan includes nationwide property and owner data, saved searches, the driving for dollars app, the Direct Mail app, API/CLI/webhooks, Zapier and team management. 3 users are included in every Pro bundle, and Pro adds premium filters and priority support. DealMachine says there are no contracts and no hidden fees.

The free account

DealMachine's free account needs no card and has no time limit. You can run real property and people searches in your market. On the web, owner details stay blurred, and lists, mail and exports unlock when you pick a plan. In the mobile app, a free account can open up to 10 properties a day and try driving for dollars.

How data credits work

A data credit is what DealMachine charges to reveal a contact or export a record. Searching and counts are free.

  • 1 credit per contact revealed
  • 1 credit per exported record (a property and a contact each count)
  • Same record again in the same billing period: free
  • Addresses and APNs don't use credits, and there are no surprise overages
  • Credits reset each billing period and don't roll over
  • AI uses separate AI credits, with a monthly usage limit

Example: export 10 properties with 1 contact each = 20 credits.

Pros and cons

DealMachine pros and cons

DealMachine's biggest pros are its data, the driving for dollars app and built-in postcards. The cons are small and mostly about how you pay for usage.

Pros

  • Every property and owner in one search. Type an address, a name or a plain-English request, and DealMachine searches the whole country.
  • The best driving for dollars app I've used. Live route tracking, one-tap adding and the owner's info right on your phone.
  • Owner contacts when you need them. Reveal phones and emails with DNC flags, and pay a credit only when you reveal or export.
  • Postcards built in, with data that's second to none. Design with AI, track QR scans and mail from a property, a list or your phone.
  • Lists ready for cold email and calls. Export DNC-scrubbed lists, and re-export the same record free in the same billing period.
  • AI that saves real time. Ask for the list you want in plain English, run AI comps, or connect Claude or ChatGPT.
  • A free account with no card. Search your own market before you spend a dollar.

Cons

  • Credits don't roll over.
  • Postcards cost extra, per piece.
  • Premium filters need Pro.
Is it right for you?

Who DealMachine is for, and who should skip it

DealMachine is worth it for beginners and pros who will reach out to owners themselves: wholesalers, investors, contractors and solar teams. Skip it if you want someone else to do the outreach for you.

  • New wholesalers who need their first motivated-seller list
  • Anyone who drives for dollars
  • Cold emailers and callers who need clean, exportable owner lists
  • Contractors, roofers and solar teams who sell to homeowners
  • You want leads delivered with no outreach on your part
  • You need one all-in-one CRM and phone system
Alternatives

Why I start with DealMachine over other lead tools

Thinking about other lead tools? I start with DealMachine because it does four things in one account that matter most when you're finding sellers.

Driving for dollars, included. The app comes with every plan.
Data and postcards together. Find the owner and mail them without leaving DealMachine.
A free account. Test your own market with no card.
API and AI on every plan. Connect Zapier, HubSpot, Claude or ChatGPT, even on Basic.

FAQ

DealMachine FAQ

Is DealMachine worth it?

Yes, if you'll reach out to owners yourself. DealMachine gives you property and owner data, skip tracing, driving for dollars and postcards in one account, and it's the first software I tell anybody to buy. If you want leads handed to you with no outreach, it's not for you.

How much is DealMachine a month?

DealMachine starts from $99/mo billed annually ($119 month-to-month) for Basic, with 10,000 data credits per seat. Pro is a 3-user bundle at $149/mo billed annually or $179 month-to-month, with 20,000 credits. Scale is $599 per package. Postcards are extra. Prices checked Oct 2026; see DealMachine for current pricing.

Is DealMachine free?

DealMachine has a free account with no card and no time limit. You can search properties and people, but owner details are blurred on the web, and lists, mail and exports unlock on a paid plan. The mobile app lets free accounts open up to 10 properties a day and try driving for dollars.

Is there a DealMachine promo code?

Yes: TOOLBOX. DealMachine's partner page says, “Start with code TOOLBOX to get 50 bonus mailers + VIP training with your first month.” Use code TOOLBOX at signup through my link, and you get my Bonus Stack too.

What are DealMachine data credits?

A data credit pays for revealing one contact or exporting one record. Searching, browsing and counts are free, the same record again in the same billing period is free, and credits reset each period without rolling over. There are no automatic overages. DealMachine AI uses its own AI credits, which have a monthly usage limit; when AI reveals or exports contacts, that also uses data credits.

How much do DealMachine postcards cost?

DealMachine postcards cost $0.75 (4x6), $0.81 (6x9) or $0.89 (6x11) each on Basic, and $0.70, $0.80 or $0.87 on Pro. Mail is paid from your wallet, separate from data credits.

Is DealMachine legit?

Yes. DealMachine has been around since 2017 and says it's trusted by 150,000+ real estate professionals. I've used it for as long as it's existed. You can check the data in your own market on a free account before you pay.

What's new in the new DealMachine?

The new DealMachine launched July 27, 2026. It added nationwide search from one search bar, AI search and AI comps, an AI postcard designer with QR tracking, MCP connections to Claude and ChatGPT, and a rebuilt mobile app.

Is DealMachine a CRM or a dialer?

No. DealMachine is a data and outreach platform. You export dialer-ready, DNC-scrubbed lists, or send leads to your CRM with Zapier, webhooks, the API or the native HubSpot integration.

Can contractors and solar companies use DealMachine?

Yes. DealMachine has dedicated pages for solar and home services, and filters like roof age, year built, home value and owner-occupied status. Roofers, HVAC, solar and other contractors build their own homeowner lists with it.

Does DealMachine work with ChatGPT or Claude?

Yes. DealMachine connects to Claude, ChatGPT and Codex through MCP, and it has an API, CLI and webhooks on every plan.

Can I use DealMachine for vacant land?

You can search for it. DealMachine's Lot/Land filters include lot size, landlocked and corner lot, and you can combine them with property type, owner and any other filter to build a land list.

Does the new DealMachine do list stacking?

Not fully. List stacking isn't in the new platform yet. The List Membership filter covers part of it: you can include or exclude properties that are on one or more of your lists, and combine that with any other filter.

DealMachine vs PropStream: which should I pick?

I start people on DealMachine. Both are property data tools for investors. DealMachine is the one I've used for as long as it's existed: driving for dollars, owner contacts, postcards and exports in one account, with API access on every plan. You can test it on a free account with no card.

DealMachine vs BatchLeads: which is better?

For me, DealMachine. Both sell property and owner data to real estate investors. I pick DealMachine for its driving for dollars app, built-in postcards and AI search, and because it's the only lead-gen tool I recommend.

What are the best DealMachine alternatives?

People often compare DealMachine with PropStream, BatchLeads, XLeads and PropertyRadar. My pick is still DealMachine, because it puts data, skip tracing, driving for dollars and postcards in one account, and you can start on the free account, no card needed.

How do I get your Bonus Stack?

Enter your name and email in any form on this page, then sign up for DealMachine through my link, and I'll send you the Bonus Stack. The email goes out right away. Even a free DealMachine account counts.

I already have DealMachine. Can I still get the bonus?

The Bonus Stack is my thank-you for signing up through my link. If you already have DealMachine, join my B2C Cold Email Lab community, where I show you how to turn your DealMachine lists into cold email campaigns.

Is the contract pack legal advice?

No. They're educational templates, and I'm not a lawyer or a licensed real estate agent. Rules change by state, so have a licensed real estate attorney review them before you use them.
