DealCheck vs RentalCalcs

DealCheck: property analysis with listing data import and an offer calculator. RentalCalcs: free full-featured rental analysis with market research built in. The honest side-by-side, including where DealCheck is the right choice.

RentalCalcs is our product. Competitor details verified from public pricing and feature pages, July 2026.

The short answer

DealCheck is the best pure deal-volume tool: import a listing, get numbers, make an offer. RentalCalcs goes deeper per deal (sensitivity analysis, tax benefits, refinance and 1031 scenarios) and adds the market research layer DealCheck does not have. If you need comps and native apps, pick DealCheck. If you want full-depth analysis free and market data in the same product, pick RentalCalcs.

Pricing

First analysis includes everything: sensitivity analysis, 30-year projections, PDF export. A basic free tier continues after that.

Strengths and gaps

Where DealCheck wins

  • Listing data import: pulls property details, taxes, and rent estimates so you type less
  • Comps and ARV estimates for value-add and flip-adjacent analysis
  • Maximum allowable offer (MAO) calculator for making offers at volume
  • Native iOS and Android apps with strong App Store ratings
  • Branded, shareable PDF reports on paid tiers

What DealCheck does not do

  • No sensitivity analysis: you cannot see how the deal changes as rent, rate, or price move
  • No built-in market research layer: no county or city data, no market map
  • No buy vs rent, house hack, or Section 8 analysis
  • Key workflow pieces (offer calculator, insights, branding) sit behind the paid tiers
  • Spreadsheet-style exports are CSV only

Which should you use?

Pick DealCheck if: You analyze dozens of listed properties a month and the time saved by automatic data import outweighs everything else, or you need comps and an offer workflow in one place.

Pick RentalCalcs if: You want the deepest free analysis available (sensitivity, tax modeling, 10 financing structures), you research markets before picking deals, or you also need buy vs rent, house hack, or Section 8 numbers.

Run your numbers free
