PropPipeline: free
Start a drive and your route draws on the map, with streets you drove before in gray. Tap Tag this house and the address fills in from where you are; pick tags like Vacant or Overgrown yard, add a note and up to three photos. A house tagged with no signal saves on your phone and syncs later. My Houses keeps your list with statuses, on a list or a map, and exports to CSV. There is no paid tier. It does not look up owners: export your list to the skip trace or mail service you already use. See how it works.
DealMachine: from $99 a month
Driving for dollars is included on every plan, with owner lookup, skip tracing and mailers in the same app. A good fit if you want to drive and mail without another service.

BatchLeads: from $119 a month
A list stacking and marketing platform with driving for dollars included and a mobile app on every package. There is a 7-day trial.
LandGlide: $9.99 a month

Which one should you use?
- Just starting, or watching costs: drive and tag free on PropPipeline, then run your list through a skip trace or mail service when you are ready.
- Want owner phone numbers and mailers in one app: a paid app like DealMachine saves you the extra step.
- Mostly building lists from data: PropStream or BatchLeads.

Questions
What is the best free driving for dollars app?
PropPipeline is free with no paid tier: route tracking, one-tap tagging with the address filled in, photos, notes, a private list with statuses, and CSV export. It does not look up owners, so you export your list to the skip trace or mail service you already use.
What does D4D mean?
D4D is short for driving for dollars: driving neighborhoods to find vacant or distressed houses, then reaching out to the owners.
Do I need a paid app to drive for dollars?
Not to drive and tag houses. Paid apps earn their price when you want owner phone numbers and mailers built in. Many wholesalers tag houses free, then run their list through a skip trace or mail service.
Which D4D app works without signal?
On PropPipeline a house you tag with no signal saves on your phone and syncs when you are back in range. Check each paid app for how it handles dead zones.
