Free tool
REI software cost calculator
What you'll actually pay per month for lead software - not the sticker price. Skip tracing is free on DealMachine but per-match on REsimpli, so the cheapest tool flips as your volume grows. Built on prices we verified hands-on.
The short version
The base subscription is only part of the bill. The biggest hidden variable is skip tracing: DealMachine includes it free and unlimited, PropStream unlocks it with a flat $27/mo add-on, and REsimpli charges about $0.15 per match. At low volume the prices are close; at high volume, per-match billing balloons. Set your monthly skip-trace volume below to see your real cost.
TRUE COST BY SKIP-TRACE VOLUME
Sticker prices hide the real bill. Skip tracing is free and unlimited on DealMachine, a flat add-on on PropStream, but billed per match on REsimpli - so the cheapest tool changes as your volume grows. Drag the slider to see your real monthly cost. Base rates are the annual-billing prices we verified hands-on.
What this includes:the verified annual-billing base rate plus skip tracing. It does not include direct mail or dialer minutes (those bill per use on every tool), and PropStream's included skip credits are capped to a dollar value at very high volume. DealCheck is excluded - it's a deal analyzer, not a lead/skip-tracing tool. See each review for the full cost breakdown.
Where the numbers come from
Every base rate here is the annual-billing price we verified on the vendor's own checkout during hands-on testing, and the skip-tracing treatment comes straight from each review: DealMachine (free unlimited skip tracing), PropStream, and REsimpli.

FAQ
- Why is the cheapest REI software not always the cheapest?
- Because the sticker price is only the base subscription. Skip tracing, direct mail, and dialer minutes often bill per use on top. A tool with a low base price but per-match skip tracing can cost far more than a pricier tool that includes skip tracing - once your volume is high enough.
- Which tool has the cheapest skip tracing?
- DealMachine, by a wide margin in our testing - skip tracing is free and unlimited on every plan, so your cost stays flat no matter how many records you trace. PropStream unlocks free skip tracing via a flat $27/mo add-on, while REsimpli bills roughly $0.15 per match, which climbs with volume.
- What costs does this calculator not include?
- It covers the verified annual-billing base rate plus skip tracing. It doesn't include direct mail or dialer minutes (those bill per use on every tool), and PropStream's included skip-trace credits are capped to a dollar value at very high volume. DealCheck is excluded because it's a deal analyzer, not a lead or skip-tracing tool. Check each review for the full breakdown.
