DealCheck — Pros & Cons

Pros

Covers six deal types (rental, BRRRR, flip, Airbnb, multi-family, wholesale) in a single interface
Branded PDF and online reports shareable with lenders, partners, and clients
Free Starter tier includes offer calculator, comps, and owner lookup — no credit card required
Cross-platform: web, iOS, and Android sync on one account

Cons

Free plan caps saved properties at 15; Plus caps at 50 — active investors hit the $20/mo Pro paywall quickly
No MLS integration — data relies on public records and RentCast API; comp accuracy varies by market
US-only coverage; international properties get no data import, comps, or valuations
Homepage user-count and "#1 software" claims are self-reported; independent review coverage is sparse
