DealMachine is a real estate lead generation app best known for driving for dollars. You drive a neighborhood, tap distressed houses on your phone, and DealMachine pulls the owner’s information so you can mail, call or text them. Over time it has grown into a full property data platform with list building, contact data and direct mail.
This review is based on DealMachine’s published features and pricing and on how wholesalers use it. We have no affiliate relationship with DealMachine. Check DealMachine’s pricing explainer for current numbers.
DealMachine pricing in 2026
DealMachine moved to a credit-based model in 2026. Data credits are spent when you reveal an owner’s contact information or export records. Direct mail is paid separately from a prepaid wallet. Per DealMachine’s July 2026 pricing post:
| Plan | Monthly price | Data credits | Users |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | $99 per user | 10,000 per user | Per seat |
| Pro | $149 per user | 20,000 per user | Per seat |
| Scale | $599 per package | 100,000 per package | 10 per package |
Annual billing saves about 17%. Revealing one contact costs one data credit, and a 4×6 postcard runs about $0.70 to $0.75 depending on plan. Driving for dollars is included on every plan. Some DealMachine pages list a different starting price, so confirm the plan you choose at checkout.
What DealMachine does well
- Driving for dollars. It is still the app most wholesalers think of for this. Route tracking, one-tap property adds and photos make it easy to turn a drive into a mailing list. Our driving for dollars guide covers what to look for on the street.
- Simple mail campaigns. Postcards and letters can go out automatically as you add properties, with follow-up mailings on a schedule. See our direct mail guide for copy and cadence.
- Team features. You can send drivers or a boots-on-the-ground team out and see their routes and adds.
- List building. Beyond driving, you can build lists by distress signals and location, similar to other data platforms.
Where it falls short
- Per-user pricing adds up for teams.
- Mail costs are separate from the subscription, so budget for both.
- It is not a full CRM or dialer, so most wholesalers pair it with other tools.
- Credit-based contact reveals take some planning so you do not burn credits on records you will never market to.

Who should use DealMachine
DealMachine fits wholesalers who want to work a local market hands-on, especially if driving for dollars and mail will be your main lead sources. If you plan to cold call large lists in markets you never visit, a data platform like PropStream or BatchLeads paired with a dialer is usually a better fit. See our full wholesaling software guide for a complete stack.
Before you spend on data, make sure you know what to do with the leads. Our free starter kit includes a seller script and deal analyzer, and the mentorship program reviews your first offers with you.
