Questions & answers

Frequently asked questions

What CompPilot does, where the numbers come from, and how the plans work. If your question isn't here, email us and we'll answer it — and probably add it to this page.

What CompPilot does

What does CompPilot do?

CompPilot turns a property address into a full rental analysis. You get an estimated market rent with a low-to-high range, the comparable rentals behind that number, a written market memo explaining the pricing, and the investor math — cap rate, DSCR, cash-on-cash return, net operating income, monthly cash flow, and breakeven rent. You can export the whole thing as a PDF.

Who is it built for?

Real estate investors and landlords underwriting rental deals — including wholesalers, BRRRR buyers, syndicators, and anyone applying for a DSCR loan. It's also used by property managers and agents who need a defensible rent number for a client.

Do I need a real estate license or MLS access?

No. CompPilot was built specifically for people who don't have MLS access. There's no license check, no broker sponsorship, and no waiting list. You need an email address.

How long does a report take?

About 30 seconds from entering the address to a finished report.

Can I use it on my phone?

Yes. It's built mobile-first and installs to your home screen like an app, so you can run a report during a property tour.

Data and accuracy

Where does the rent data come from?

A rental data provider with more than 140 million property records, combined with our own analysis. For most active markets the comp data is current within the last 90 days.

How is the rent estimate calculated?

We pull actual comparable rentals near the address and weight them by distance, size, and how recently they were listed. You see the comps we used, with bed and bath count, square footage, distance, and listing date — so you can check the reasoning rather than trusting a single number.

How accurate is it?

Accuracy depends on how much comparable rental activity exists near the address. Dense markets with lots of recent leasing produce tight, reliable ranges. Rural addresses and unusual properties produce wider ones. That's why every report shows a range and the underlying comps instead of a single figure presented as fact.

Is this an appraisal?

No. CompPilot is an analysis tool for investors, not a licensed appraisal, and it isn't a substitute for one where an appraisal is legally required. Lenders that ask for a formal appraisal or a licensed BPO will still need that document.

What if there isn't enough data for an address?

You'll be told so directly rather than shown a confident number we can't support. If comparable rentals are thin, the range widens and the memo says why.

Do you cover my market?

CompPilot works on addresses across the United States. Coverage quality tracks rental market activity, so major metros return the strongest comp sets.

Reports and limits

What counts as a report?

One unique address per calendar month. Running a report on the same address again within 14 days uses cached comps and doesn't count against your quota.

What happens if I hit my monthly limit?

You'll see an upgrade prompt. We don't auto-bill overages, so you stay in control of what shows up on your card.

Can I analyze a list of properties at once?

Yes, on Pro and Power. Upload a CSV of addresses and get rent estimates, cap rates, and cash flow back for the whole list. Pro handles up to 50 addresses per upload, Power up to 500.

Can I compare deals side by side?

Yes. Starter compares two properties at once, Pro and Power compare three. The best number in each row is highlighted so you can see which deal wins before writing an offer.

Can I put my own branding on the PDF?

On any paid plan, yes — add your logo and accent color in account settings and exports come out branded, with no CompPilot watermark. The Free plan's PDF is watermarked.

Plans and billing

What does it cost?

Free is $0 for 5 reports a month. Starter is $29 a month for 30 reports. Pro is $69 a month for 100 reports, bulk upload, and unlimited saved properties. Power is $179 a month for 400 reports, 500-address bulk upload, and historical comp data.

Is there a free trial of the paid plans?

Not separately. The Free tier gives you 5 reports a month, forever — enough to put the product through its paces. Upgrade when you outgrow it.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. The Free plan requires an email address and nothing else.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel from your account settings and access continues through the end of your current billing period.

Do you give refunds?

We consider refund requests case by case — email us and explain the situation. Cancelling always stops future charges, and you keep access until the period you've already paid for runs out.

How do I pay?

Major credit and debit cards, processed by Stripe. We never see or store your card number.

Can I change plans later?

Yes, up or down, from your account settings. Your report quota moves to the new plan's limit.

Do you offer team or multi-seat plans?

Not yet — accounts are single-seat for now. If your team needs shared portfolios or report handoff, get in touch and we'll build it if there's enough demand.

Free tools and widgets

Are the calculators actually free?

Yes. The investor calculators are free to use with no signup, no account, and no email gate. Cap rate, DSCR, cash-on-cash, rental property, BRRRR, the 1% rule, and gross rent multiplier, each with the formula and a worked example.

Can I put CompPilot tools on my own website?

Yes, free of charge. There's a rent estimator widget and all seven calculators, each installed with two lines of HTML. No API key, no signup, no cap on page views. Popular with real estate blogs, brokerages, DSCR lenders, and property management sites.

What does embedding a widget cost me?

Nothing, and there's no usage limit. Each widget renders a small "by CompPilot" credit link underneath it — leaving that in place is the only condition. The widgets are styled in isolation, so they can't interfere with your site's design.

Is there an API?

Not yet. Right now we're focused on the web product and a few workflow tools like bulk CSV and branded PDF export. If you have a specific integration in mind, tell us about it.

Account and support

How do I get help?

Email support. Starter and Pro get a response within two business days, Power within 48 hours. Free-plan questions are answered by this page and the product itself.

Can I delete my account and my data?

Yes. Account deletion is available in your account settings and removes your saved reports, properties, and profile.

Will you email me constantly?

No. Transactional email only, plus the weekly portfolio digest on Pro and Power — and that one is opt-out in account settings with a one-click unsubscribe in every message.

Can I change the email address on my account?

Yes, from account settings. You'll need to confirm the new address before the change takes effect.

Still stuck?

Email support@comppilot.ai or use the contact form. Paid plans get a reply within two business days; Power within 48 hours.

Want to see it rather than read about it? The free plan runs 5 full reports a month and doesn't ask for a card.
