Why investors compare PropStream alternatives
PropStream is a well-known property data and lead list platform for real estate investors. Investors who look at alternatives are usually weighing the same few things: how fresh the lead lists are, what the monthly bill comes to once everything they need is added, and whether follow-up and contracts live in the same place as the leads.
DealSherpa is built around fresh distressed-property records for the markets it covers, with the tools to work them included in one plan. Here is how it answers each of those questions.
PropStream Pricing
PropStream is sold as a monthly subscription, with add-ons and data credits sold separately; see their site for current pricing.
PropStream sets its own plans and prices, and they can change, so check PropStream's current pricing on its website for an exact comparison.
DealSherpa's pricing is one plan. DealSherpa Pro is $99/month, or $950/year, which saves 20%. That includes:
- Distressed-property lists in every live market: tax delinquent, probate, foreclosure, code violations, evictions and more
- Probate and motivated-seller lists, updated every weekday
- Virtual D4D: photo-reviewed distressed houses, scored 1 to 5
- DealFuse CRM with follow-up sequences for every seller lead
- DealSign: unlimited e-signatures for offers and contracts
- Deal calculators: MAO, hard money, rental cash flow and more
- Access to the warm-lead marketplace (leads bought separately)
The one thing billed on top is skip tracing, which is pay as you go: 12¢ per owner searched, from a prepaid balance, so you pay only for the owners you actually trace. Pushing a house into the CRM is free. Every other DealSherpa plan, including the lighter Deal Search, Virtual D4D and Bundle plans, is on the pricing page.
Does PropStream Have a Free Trial?
Check PropStream's website for its current free trial terms; trial offers change.
DealSherpa Pro comes with a 3-day free trial, card required. Cancel before the trial ends and you pay nothing. Manage or cancel any time from Settings → Billing in your account: no phone call needed.
How Much Does PropStream Cost?
What PropStream costs you depends on the subscription you choose and the add-ons and data credits you buy on top of it. Check PropStream's website for its current prices before you compare.
When you compare any two tools, add up the whole monthly bill for the way you actually work: the subscription, any add-ons, the data or lookups you use, skip tracing, a CRM and e-signatures. A low base price can grow once the extras are added; a higher one can be cheaper if it already includes them.
With DealSherpa, the plan price is $99/month and the only usage charge is skip tracing at 12¢ per owner searched. The CRM and DealSign are part of DealSherpa Pro.
PropStream vs DealMachine
Investors often compare PropStream with DealMachine. PropStream is a well-known property data and lead list platform; DealMachine is a well-known driving for dollars app. Both sell subscriptions with extras on top, and both change their plans and prices over time, so compare them on their own websites.
The questions that decide it are the same for both: how fresh the lists are in your county, what the full monthly bill comes to, and whether follow-up and contracts live with the leads. If you are weighing DealMachine too, see our DealMachine alternative page.
DealSherpa as an Alternative
DealSherpa builds its lists from public court and county records in the markets it covers and adds the tools to work them. The plans for investors:

What makes DealSherpa different
Fresh records, dated
Distressed-property lists come from public court and county records: probate filings, tax delinquency, foreclosure filings and sheriff sales, code violations, evictions and more, depending on the market. Probate and motivated-seller lists are updated every weekday, and every record shows its date, so you always know how fresh a lead is. Probate leads are matched to the house the person who died owned, with the executor or petitioner to contact. Probate is live in 41 counties across 13 states.
Stacked signals
A house that shows up on two or more lists, say tax delinquent and a code violation, ranks higher, because more than one thing is pushing that owner to sell. See how it works on the distressed property lists page.
Virtual driving for dollars
Virtual D4D reviews houses from their street photos and scores each one 1 to 5 for visible distress, with a swipe deck to like, superlike or pass. You drive only to confirm the houses you are serious about.
A CRM and e-signatures, included
DealFuse, the CRM for real estate investors, puts every seller on a follow-up sequence that is already written and sorts your day into overdue, due today and scheduled. When a seller says yes, DealSign sends the purchase agreement for signature from the lead page.
The numbers
Use the deal calculators (MAO, house flip, BRRRR and the rehab estimator) to work out what to offer before you call.
When another tool may fit better
We would rather you pick the right tool. DealSherpa opens market by market, so if you need lists for a county we do not cover yet, or property data for the whole country today, a nationwide data provider may suit you better for now. Compare against PropStream's current coverage on its own site. Browse the markets DealSherpa covers on the markets page.
