DealMachine review and pricing: built for the car, and nothing to test it with
Its phone app is the main product rather than a companion to one. You pay from the first day though, because the trial is gone, and the pricing page opens above the floor it advertises.

What independent reviewers actually say about DealMachine
DealMachine has no B2B review presence at all, no G2 page and no Capterra page. Its review base is roughly 7,000 app store ratings, which for a product you use while driving is the right place to look rather than a fallback.
What DealMachine actually does
DealMachine is real estate lead generation software built around driving for dollars. You pin a distressed house from the car, it returns the owner behind that address, and it pushes them into mail and calling campaigns. The phone is the product, not an accessory to a desktop tool.
It suits wholesalers and real estate investors who find property by looking at it, street by street, and want the owner on file before they have driven home. If you build lists by filtering county records at a desk, this is the wrong shape of tool and you are paying for the half you will not use.

DealMachine pricing in 2026: a seat, a bundle or a package, monthly or yearly
Priced by a slider, not a tier
| Records a month | Plan it recommends | Billed monthly (yearly) |
|---|---|---|
| 10,000 | Basic | $119/mo ($99) |
| 20,000 | Pro | $179/mo ($149) |
| 40,000 | Pro | $358/mo ($298) |
| 60,000 | Pro | $537/mo ($447) |
| 200,000 | Scale | $1,198/mo, both |
| 500,000 | Scale | $2,995/mo, both |
| 5,000,000 | Scale | $29,950/mo, both |
The page opens on 20,000 records, not the 10,000 floor, so on monthly billing the first number most visitors see is $179, and the “Plans start at $99” at the foot of the page is the yearly price of one Basic seat. Billed monthly, a seat is $119. Teams pay less on Pro than on seats: one Pro bundle covers three users and 20,000 credits for $179, four to six people take two bundles at $358, and ten seats on Scale is $599, against $1,190 for ten Basic seats. Anyone buying more than one seat should price Pro before adding seats one at a time.

No free trial, how to cancel DealMachine, refunds and pausing
Four things the pricing page does not tell you, settled from the signup flow, the help centre, the store reviews and DealMachine’s own public replies.
There is no free trial, whatever older reviews tell you
Checked three ways on the same day. The signup flow offers none and gates at a phone number. Searching the pricing page, the homepage and the signup page for "free trial", "trial" and "try free" returns nothing on any of the three. And every button reads "Sign Up" or "Get Started", where PropertyRadar and BatchLeads both put a free trial on the button, of 5 days and 7 days.
Older material does reference a 7 or 14 day trial, including DealMachine’s own reply to a reviewer. Those were true when they were written. They are not true now, and we will not repeat them.
How to cancel DealMachine: from a computer, under Plans & Licenses
If you signed up through Apple, the cancellation has to be made in your Apple ID subscription settings, and DealMachine says it cannot do it for you. Otherwise it is done on the website from a computer browser: Account & Settings, the icon at the upper right, then Plans & Licenses and Cancel Plan at the bottom. The option "may not appear if onboarding is incomplete", so finish the setup steps first.
To check it worked, open Account & Settings, then Billing and Payment Methods. A Cancellation Date where the Next Billing Date used to be means it is done, and access runs until that date. If a payment has failed, or the button is missing, the help centre sends you to support, where you ask the AI assistant for a live representative.
Refunds are pro-rated, according to DealMachine itself
Answering a reviewer in public who said they had been charged without warning, DealMachine wrote that "We also do allow pro-rated refunds" and that a reminder email goes out one day before the charge lands.
The reviewer’s account and the vendor’s do not agree, and both are on the public record. We are not in a position to say which is right, so here are both.
Pausing is not free
One reviewer puts it plainly: "You CANNOT pause your account unless you are willing to pay $24 per month, otherwise delete your account entirely to stop the payment." So the off season costs you $24 a month or the account itself. The pricing page does not mention a pause at all, so treat that figure as one user’s report rather than a published price.
What DealMachine is bad at
Counted from the 49 most recent App Store reviews, 16 of which are rated 3★ or below, and from the Google Play feed. These are the themes that repeat, not the ones that suit an argument.
"I paid for a year and now I can't seem work classic login within the app only on desktop." Another: "I liked this app until they changed everything. I paid for a year upfront now I can't even use it anymore." A separate iOS app called DealMachine Classic appeared from the same publisher in August 2026. Its listing does not say whether it restores the classic login, so we cannot tell you whether it fixes this.
App Store"The minute I [accidentally] click on a property, that's it. I can't move the map... hitting back would just close the app altogether... PLEASE make it easier for someone who is DRIVING."
Play"Instead of a 7-day free trial, I am expected to enter my credit card details and agree to an immediate charge of $895."
App Store"After the free trial, the app will automatically charge you without notification." DealMachine says an email goes out the day before. Both accounts are public.
Play"logged in, and suddenly it crashes. Won't load at all." This one resolved after the reviewer contacted support, and they updated the review to a positive one.
PlayA reviewer describes a stranger arriving at their door: "they explained they used this app to come to peoples houses... this app allows you to have peoples names, phone numbers."
App StoreDealMachine is the mirror image of PropStream. Here the phone is the good part.
The evidence
- 4.79 on iOS from 5,003 ratings and 4.4 on Play from 1,937. Roughly 7,000 ratings for a product with no G2 or Capterra listing whatsoever.
- PropStream’s own users draw the comparison unprompted. One of them, reviewing PropStream: "If this app worked like Deal Machine it would be awesome."
- What does repeat in the recent complaints is a redesign that left some annual subscribers able to use the classic login only on desktop, not inside the app.
Where that leaves you
4.79on the App Store
So the split runs the other way round. In the car this is the one to buy. At a desk, PropStream starts at $99, $20 below a DealMachine seat billed monthly, with 165+ search filters, and DealMachine’s recent changes have annoyed exactly the people who paid a year up front.

Who should not buy DealMachine
- You want to try before you pay. There is no trial as of November 2026.
- You build lists at a desk from county records. PropStream is built for that, and starts at $99 a month against $119 for a seat here.
- You need a predictable bill. Price moves with records and with seats, and the page opens above the floor it advertises.
- Your buying is seasonal. By one reviewer’s account, holding the account costs $24 a month, and the alternative is deleting it.

DealMachine questions people actually ask
Does DealMachine have a free trial?
Not as of November 2026. In September the signup flow offered none and the pricing page, homepage and signup page contained no trial language at all, and the pricing page re-read in November still has none. Every button reads Sign Up or Get Started. Older reviews and DealMachine’s own past replies mention a 7 or 14 day trial. Those references are historical.
How much is DealMachine per month?
Billed monthly, it starts at $119 for one seat and 10,000 records. Billed yearly, the same seat is $99, the figure the page shows as its floor. Neither is a plan: the pricing page is a live calculator with sliders for records and for team size, and it opens on 20,000 records, so the first figure most people see is $179 a month, or $149 billed yearly. The ceiling is $29,950/mo.
How much does DealMachine cost a year?
One Basic seat billed yearly is $99 a month, $1,188 a year, against $1,428 at $119 a month. A Pro bundle for three users is $149 a month billed yearly, $1,788 a year, against $179 a month. Scale is $599 a package either way. The page calls the yearly discount 17%.
How do you cancel DealMachine?
From a computer browser: Account & Settings, then Plans & Licenses, then Cancel Plan. The option may not show until the onboarding steps are finished. If you subscribed through Apple, cancel in your Apple ID settings instead. Billing, then Payment Methods, should then show a cancellation date, and access lasts until that date.
Is DealMachine worth it?
For finding property from the car, yes. The phone app is the product, and its 4.79 on iOS rests on 5,003 ratings, the largest app store base of any tool we cover. Building lists at a desk is not what it is built for, and you cannot test it first.
Does DealMachine include skip tracing?
Yes, within limits. Its app listings say phone numbers and emails come with your plan, and the pricing page sells each seat with monthly data credits for property and people data: 10,000 a seat on Basic and 20,000 for a Pro bundle of three users. It does not publish a rate for going past them. The 70¢ to 89¢ on the same page is the price of a postcard, not of contact data.
Can you pause a DealMachine subscription?
Not for free. One reviewer reports that holding the account costs $24 a month, and that the only other way to stop paying is deleting the account. The pricing page does not mention a pause at all. DealMachine does say it allows pro-rated refunds.
Is DealMachine better than PropStream?
In the car, yes, on the evidence: 4.79 on iOS against PropStream’s 3.07, and PropStream’s own users say they wish its app worked like DealMachine. At a desk, PropStream is the one built for the job. PropStream starts at $99 a month and a DealMachine seat at $119, or $99 billed yearly, and our comparison prices the same month of work on both.
How we reached this verdict
- DealMachine’s own pricing page, with both sliders driven end to end, September 2026, and again on both billing settings, November 2026
- Its homepage and signup page, searched for any trial language
- Its help centre article on cancelling, dated March 2026, read November 2026
- G2 and Capterra, neither of which lists the product at all
- The Apple App Store and Google Play listings and their review feeds
- DealMachine’s public replies to reviewers
We have not subscribed to DealMachine. Signup gates at a phone number, so the in-app terms could not be read, and we say so rather than implying a test we did not run. In September the billing toggle did not change any figure. In November it did: the $99 and $149 we had quoted became the yearly prices, and monthly billing is $119 and $179, so every price here now names its billing.
