Privy vs. DealCheck: MLS Data vs. Cheap Metrics Engine
Privy's blended MLS/public-record data compared against DealCheck's cheaper, broader-strategy analysis engine - sourced from both companies' pricing pages.
Reviewed September 22, 2026
Both analyze flip and hold deals, but Privy leads with direct MLS access blended with public records and mortgage data; DealCheck leads with a deep, cheap metrics engine fed by public-record and listing imports. Priced and sourced as of September 2026. Pricing changes, so verify current numbers before you buy.
Pricing, Side by Side
| Tier | Privy | DealCheck |
|---|---|---|
| Entry | Investor, 1 state: $79/mo ($53/mo annual) | Up to 15 saved properties |
| Mid tier | Investor, national: $97/mo ($78/mo annual) | Plus, $10/mo ($8 annual): 50 properties, 10 comps, 10 templates |
| Agent plan | Agent, $57/mo ($46/mo annual): requires active MLS ID | Pro, $20/mo: unlimited saved properties, photos, comps and templates |
DealCheck is dramatically cheaper across the board - its top tier at $20/mo costs less than a quarter of Privy's cheapest plan. Privy's price buys direct MLS feeds blended with public records, mortgage data, and rental comps, which DealCheck's public-record/listing imports don't include.
What Each Tool Actually Does
Privy combines direct MLS feeds with public records, mortgage data, and rental comps, and its deal analyzer calculates ARV, profit margin, and flip potential across fix-and-flip, long-term rental, and short-term-rental deal types - wholesale is the one strategy its reviewed materials don't cover. DealCheck imports property data from public records and listings, offers a separate sales/rental comps lookup, and calculates dozens of metrics (cash-on-cash, IRR, cap rate, NOI) across a broader strategy set that includes BRRRR, wholesale, multifamily, and creative financing.
Where Privy Is the Better Fit
- You want direct MLS feeds blended with public-record and mortgage data, rather than public records alone.
- You're an agent with an active MLS ID and want dual investor/agent tooling.
- You're confined to one state, where the $79/mo tier applies.
Where DealCheck Is the Better Fit
- You want a much lower entry price - DealCheck's whole ladder costs less than Privy's cheapest plan.
- You want explicit BRRRR, wholesale, and multifamily calculators - Privy's reviewed materials cover flip, hold, and STR, not wholesale.
- You want a deeper metrics sheet (dozens of figures) alongside the comps.
The Bottom Line
If blended MLS/public-record data quality is what you're after, Privy is hard to replace at any price. If price and strategy breadth (especially wholesale) matter more, DealCheck's ladder costs a fraction of Privy's single plan.
