The Deeper Alternative to TheAnalyst PRO
TheAnalyst PRO is a broker's Swiss Army knife, great for marketing collateral and quick reports. DealWise AI is a dedicated underwriting engine: it models the rent roll suite by suite, projects cash flow across the hold, and ends with a clear buy, hold, or pass.
The short version
TheAnalyst PRO does a lot (offering memos, flyers, location and demographic reports, and quick DCF analysis), which makes it a great toolkit for brokers who market and present deals. What it doesn’t do is underwrite deeply: its analysis is a few inputs producing a report, not a granular rent-roll model.
DealWise trades the marketing breadth for underwriting depth and an AI verdict. If you present deals, TheAnalyst PRO earns its place. If you underwrite them, DealWise goes further.

Where DealWise AI pulls ahead
Depth where TheAnalyst PRO keeps it quick.
The rent roll is the model
Enter leases suite by suite, with escalations and expirations. NOI derives from the rent roll: it isn't a number you type into a report. Change a lease and the whole model recalculates.
A verdict, not just a report
One click generates an institutional-grade memo that reads the whole deal and ends with a clear buy, hold, or pass and the rationale behind it. TheAnalyst PRO added an AI summary of its own in 2026, and is explicit about where it stops, in their founder's words, it “does not replace your decision” and “is not a generated opinion.” That is the line. They will narrate the analysis; DealWise will tell you what it thinks you should do, and show you the clause it got that from.
Where TheAnalyst PRO wins
It's a broker's toolkit for a reason. Here's where it's the better call.
Marketing collateral
Offering memorandums, flyers, brochures, and infographics in minutes. If you present deals to clients and need polished marketing pieces, TheAnalyst PRO is built for it and DealWise isn't.
Location & market data
FEMA flood maps, crime index, environmental records, and demographics baked right in. DealWise focuses on the deal's own numbers and doesn't bundle location or market data.
Price and breadth
Cheaper than DealWise, and one subscription covers analysis, marketing, and mapping. For a broker who wants a single do-it-all toolkit, that breadth is genuinely convenient.

TheAnalyst PRO alternative FAQ
Is TheAnalyst PRO good for underwriting?
It's genuinely strong for quick DCF reports and for broker marketing (offering memos, flyers, location and demographic data) and it models leases, including tenant improvements, leasing commissions and rollover. Where it stops is scale and structure. Its comparative lease analysis compares up to five leases, its portfolio reporting up to ten properties, and its output is a single proforma column per year rather than a schedule you can read suite by suite. It is built to produce a report from a set of inputs. DealWise is built the other way round: the rent roll is the system of record, every suite carries its own lease and its own re-leasing assumptions, and the cash flow is derived from them rather than summarised for them. If your work ends at a clean report, TheAnalyst PRO is a good tool. If your work starts there, you will run out of room.
Which one is cheaper?
TheAnalyst PRO is. It's cheaper than DealWise, and one subscription covers analysis, marketing, and mapping, for a broker who wants a single do-it-all toolkit, that breadth is genuinely convenient. The one place DealWise costs less is the start: it has a free plan and TheAnalyst PRO doesn't, so you can underwrite a real deal before you pay anything.
Can DealWise make offering memos and flyers?
No. Offering memorandums, flyers, brochures and infographics are what TheAnalyst PRO is built for, and DealWise isn't. We say so plainly further up this page. What DealWise produces is an institutional-grade investment memo that reads the whole deal and ends with a buy, hold, or pass. That's an underwriting document, not marketing collateral, which is why the two tools overlap less than they look like they should.
Can I try DealWise AI for free?
Yes, the free plan is one of the rows where the two tools differ. There's no setup fee and no credit card, and you can run a real deal end to end on it: rent roll, cash flow, and an AI buy, hold, or pass.
