Keep DealMachine for outreach, use LandPricer for the land price
DealMachine is a good outreach tool. It pulls owner contact data, runs driving for dollars routes from a phone, prints and mails postcards for about 0.70 to 0.89 USD a piece, and keeps the follow up in one place. If your business is distressed houses in one metro, it does most of the job.
The trouble starts when the property is a lot or acreage. DealMachine's comps and value tools are built around recent home sales near the address. A 7 acre wooded parcel with no house, no driveway and no sale in three years gives them little to compare, so most land investors who use DealMachine still price each lead by hand before they make an offer.
LandPricer does the pricing step. It finds recorded vacant land sales near the parcel, adjusts each one for size, time, road access, flood zone, wetlands and utilities, shows every adjustment, and labels the result High, Medium or Low confidence. One APN takes about 30 seconds; a 3,000 row list takes one upload.

Why land investors look for an alternative to DealMachine
-
01
The comps feature looks for nearby sold homes, so a lot or a rural tract often comes back with houses as comps or with nothing
-
02
Driving for dollars works on streets with houses; most vacant land deals sit on county roads you would never drive
-
03
Data credits pay for contacts and exports, not for a land value you can defend
-
04
There is no confidence label, so you cannot tell a value built on two old sales from one built on twelve fresh ones
-
05
The offer for a flip, a seller financed note or a hold still lives in a separate spreadsheet
LandPricer puts the value, the land comps, the risk flags and the offer on one parcel record, and runs the same logic across a whole list.
How to price a DealMachine land list in four steps
-
1
1. Export the list
Filter DealMachine for vacant land or lots in your target county and export the properties as CSV. Keep the APN, county and state columns; owner names and mailing addresses can stay in the file.
-
2
2. Upload and price
Upload the file to bulk land pricing. Every row comes back with market value, range, price per acre, confidence, LandPricer Score and a max offer.
-
3
3. Check the risk flags
Open any parcel you plan to buy and read road distance, flood zone, wetlands, slope, soil and utilities. On raw land, any one of them can move the value more than acreage does.

4. Mail the priced offers
Load the priced file back into DealMachine or your mail house. Mail the High and Medium confidence rows, read the comps on the Low rows, and set your number with the Deal Calculator for the exit you plan.
When a land investor uses LandPricer next to or instead of DealMachine
A solo land flipper mailing 2,000 postcards a month into two rural counties needs a number on every card before it prints. On DealMachine Basic the postcards alone are about 1,500 USD. Pricing the same 2,000 rows on LandPricer Pro costs a fraction of that and tells you which offers to trust.
A wholesaler who works houses and land can keep DealMachine for the house leads and run the land leads through LandPricer, so the land offers stop leaning on house comps. A seller financing investor uses the confidence label and the 20th percentile value to set a note size that still holds if the market softens. See the offer math in the max offer formula and the campaign workflow in blind offer pricing software.
What a year costs, DealMachine vs LandPricer
DealMachine Basic is 99 USD per seat per month, 1,188 USD a year for one seat, and Pro is 149 USD per seat, 1,788 USD a year. Its pricing page shows about 17 percent off for annual billing. Postage and printing are paid on top from a wallet balance, about 0.70 to 0.89 USD a piece depending on size and plan.
LandPricer Investor is 39 USD a month billed yearly, 468 USD a year, for single parcel valuations with comps, confidence and the Deal Calculator. Pro is 99 USD a month billed yearly, 1,188 USD a year, and adds 5,000 bulk rows a month. Monthly billing is 79 and 199 USD with no annual lock in. Full details are on the LandPricer pricing page, and our DealMachine pricing breakdown has the per seat team math.

DealMachine alternative questions
What is the best alternative to DealMachine for land investors?
For land investors who need a price, the best DealMachine alternative is a tool built to value vacant land from land sales. LandPricer returns a market value from adjusted land comps, a confidence range and a max offer for one APN or a CSV list. For list building and mail, Land Portal, PRYCD and PropStream are the usual options.
Does DealMachine work for vacant land?
DealMachine can find vacant land owners, reveal their contacts and mail them, so it works for outreach. It is weaker at pricing land, because its comps and value tools are built around nearby home sales. Most land investors export the land leads and price them in a land valuation tool before making offers.
How much does DealMachine cost per month?
DealMachine Basic is 99 USD per seat per month with 10,000 data credits, Pro is 149 USD per seat with 20,000 credits, and Scale is 599 USD per package with 100,000 credits and 10 seats. Direct mail is paid separately, about 0.70 to 0.89 USD per postcard.
Is DealMachine worth it for land flipping?
DealMachine is worth it for a land flipper who needs owner contacts and a mail engine in one place. It is not enough on its own, because land offers need land comps, and DealMachine prices houses better than acreage. Pairing it with LandPricer for the price column covers both sides.
Can I upload a DealMachine export to LandPricer?
Yes. Export your DealMachine list as CSV with APN, county and state, then upload it to LandPricer bulk land pricing. Each parcel comes back with market value, range, confidence, price per acre and a max offer, 5,000 rows a month on the Pro plan.
Does LandPricer send direct mail?
No. LandPricer prices the land and works out the offer; it does not print or mail. Download the priced CSV and load it into DealMachine, Land Portal or your mail house, with the offer amount as a merge field on the letter or postcard.
