Basis vs. DealCheck: Which Deal Analyzer Fits Your Workflow

DealCheck is the most established property analysis calculator in the category: over 350,000 investors and agents, coverage from Forbes and BiggerPockets, and a product that has been around long enough to cover rentals, flips, BRRRR, and wholesale deals in depth. If you're choosing between DealCheck and Basis, here's what each actually does, priced and sourced from their own pages as of August 2026. Pricing and feature sets change, so verify current numbers before you buy.

Pricing, Side by Side

DealCheck is meaningfully cheaper at the entry paid tier: $10/mo buys unlimited analyses across all four property types. Basis's paid tiers cost more but the allowance is a metered pool of fully-sourced runs (comps, rent, owner and distress data pulled automatically) rather than unlimited analyses on inputs you supply yourself.

What Each Tool Actually Does

Strategy coverage

Both cover the same four exits. DealCheck has a purpose-built BRRRR calculator (models acquisition, rehab and holding, refinance, and the long-term rental phase) and a wholesale calculator (closing costs, profit, and max allowable offer to the seller). Basis runs Buy & Hold, Fix & Flip, BRRRR, and Wholesale in parallel from one address, rather than as separate calculator flows you open one at a time.

Data entry

DealCheck lets you import property data from public records or a listing, then walks you through a step-by-step wizard; comps and rent lookups are available at the Plus and Pro tiers (up to 10 comps on Plus). You're still the one confirming or correcting most assumptions. Basis pulls value, rent, comps, and owner/distress data automatically as part of an analyzer run, and layers an AI-written memo (ZIP grade, per-field sanity checks, risk list) on top rather than as a $19/mo add-on.

Financial metrics

DealCheck calculates over 80 financial metrics including cash-on-cash return, IRR, cap rate, and NOI, which is a deep and mature metric set. Basis surfaces three headline scores per property (deal, confidence, risk, each 0-100) on top of the underlying financing math, aimed at triaging a queue of leads rather than producing an exhaustive metrics sheet for one property at a time.

Lead sourcing

DealCheck analyzes properties you bring to it: an address, an MLS listing, or manual entry. It does not source new leads for you. Basis's Deal Finder surfaces a scored queue of distressed and off-market leads in a ZIP or area, on the Solo and Pro tiers, drawing from the same monthly allowance as analyzer runs.

Where DealCheck Is the Better Fit

• You want the lowest-cost path to unlimited analyses across all four strategies. $10/mo for Plus is hard to beat on pure cost per analysis.
• You want a mature, exhaustive metrics sheet (80+ figures including IRR) for deals you've already sourced elsewhere.
• You want native iOS and Android apps for analyzing a property from your phone.
• You already have a lead source (a wholesaler, an agent, PropStream) and just need the analysis layer.

Where Basis Is the Better Fit

• You want lead sourcing and analysis in one product instead of stitching a list tool to a calculator.
• You want an AI-written second opinion (ZIP grade, risk list, suggested input changes) included in the analysis rather than a separate texting add-on.
• You're triaging a high-volume queue and want a 0-100 score to sort by before opening any single deal in depth.
• You want a pipeline (New Lead through Closed) built around the same deal records.

The Honest Take

If your bottleneck is "I have ten addresses and need to know their numbers fast, cheaply," DealCheck's $10/mo tier is difficult to beat. If your bottleneck is "I don't have ten addresses, I need someone to find them and rank them," that's a different job, and it's the one Basis is built around. Try the free tier of whichever one matches the problem you actually have this month.
