DealOrb vs Devaland
Side by Side
| Attribute | DealOrb | Devaland |
|---|---|---|
| What It Is | AI-native entrant (launched late 2025) combining on-market deal aggregation, a Chrome extension that auto-extracts financials from BizBuySell/BizQuest listings, with AI-powered CIM analysis. | Software that reads a deal's documents and returns a screening memo with citations, a map of the places the documents contradict each other, and a pack of questions to put to management. |
| Category | AI Deal Analysis | AI Deal Analysis |
| Pricing Model | Subscription | Subscription |
| What It Costs | Published on the vendor's site (dealorb.ai, August 2026): Starter $49 a month, Growth $79 a month, Pro quoted rather than listed. The $99, $299 and $999 tiers recorded in July are no longer on the page, and the caps moved with the prices. Starter now covers 25 document analyses and 25 active deals, Growth is unlimited on both, and agentic off-market sourcing is listed in every tier since it went live. | Published on its own pricing page: a one-time pass over a single information memorandum at $99, then monthly tiers at $249, $590, $1,490 and $3,900, the middle of which is named for the searcher. |
| Best For | Early adopters who want AI screening layered onto marketplace browsing | A buyer with more documents than reading time who wants the contradictions found before the call |
| Where It Fits | Source & Screen Deals | Source & Screen Deals, Diligence & Close the Deal |
| Our Verdict | The AI-native option in this category and cheap enough to trial; brand-new, so treat its vendor-reported traction with caution and confirm it fits your workflow before you rely on it. | Try the single-deal pass before the subscription, and decide the custody question first. |

Our take
Choose DealOrb when the volume is the problem. $49 a month covers 100 document reads and 100 active deals, $69 makes both unlimited, and the browser extension pulls financials off BizBuySell and BizQuest listings while you are still browsing them, which is where most of a searcher's reading actually happens. It is a habit rather than an engagement, and it is the shallower read of the two: screening across many candidates, from a vendor whose domain was registered in late 2025 and whose claims are all its own.
Choose Devaland when one deal has earned a proper reading and you do not want a subscription to get it. A single memorandum runs $99 as a one-time pass, and the monthly tiers start at $249 for three deals and $590 for eight, with further deals at $99 each. What comes back is a screening memo with citations, a map of the places the documents contradict each other, and the questions those contradictions raise. Two things to weigh. Uploading a seller's books is a custody decision and the site names no security certification, and software can only read what is in the room, so the contradiction it finds is still a question you have to put to the seller yourself.
