Run the numbers before you make the offer. REI Toolkit is the deal-analysis kit for real estate investors who'd rather walk away from a bad deal than learn about it later. Flippers, landlords, BRRRR investors, and wholesalers — every tool you reach for between "I might offer on this" and "I'm signing." No subscription. No account. Works offline. THE TOOLKIT • Flip Calculator — purchase, rehab, holding, and selling costs vs. ARV. Real ROI, not the back-of-the-napkin version that ignores six months of insurance. • New Construction — ground-up and teardown spec builds: land, hard and soft costs, and construction financing against ARV, down to cost per square foot. • 70% Rule / MAO — the wholesaler's max allowable offer, ready before the seller hangs up. • Rental Property — cash flow, cash-on-cash, NOI, and the 1% rule check on every deal. • Cap Rate — quick screen with market-tier interpretation, so you know whether to bother modeling the rest. • BRRRR — tracks cash-left-in-deal so you know when you've truly recycled your capital. • Amortization — full loan schedule, total interest, payoff modeling. • Refinance Break-Even — the real break-even, including closing-cost drag. • Wholesale Offer — max offer to seller, after the end buyer's MAO and your assignment fee. • DSCR — debt service coverage ratio with lender-tier interpretation. See if the deal funds before you write the offer. • GRM — gross rent multiplier for fast screening before a full analysis. WHY REI TOOLKIT • Start free, unlock once. A single one-time purchase opens the complete toolkit — no subscription, no monthly bill, ever. • No account, no cloud. Your deal numbers stay on your phone. • Works offline. Walk a property without bars and still hit the numbers. • Free updates as we add tools. Made by the team behind GroundUp, the construction project management app used by residential builders and active investors.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: BiggerPockets at 1.4K against REI Toolkit's 1. BiggerPockets also leads on chart position (#199 vs unranked). REI Toolkit's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

REI Toolkit holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BiggerPockets has 1.4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
