What It Is

CREscope is underwriting software for commercial real estate buyers. It is not positioned as a generic sales presentation or fundraising pitch tool, but as a way for buyers who run their own numbers to turn seller materials into editable deal cases. Users can upload OMs, T-12s, rent rolls, operating statements, and spreadsheet files. The system extracts financials, unit mix, lease, and operating data, while preserving extraction status and confidence scores for easier review.

Core Features and Collaboration

The product is built around the CRE underwriting workflow. Buy Box lets users save property types, markets, deal sizes, and return targets; different property types have dedicated fields and metrics; scenario modeling covers cap rate, cash-on-cash, DSCR, and proforma assumptions; the due diligence library includes 400+ items and can be filtered by property type. Results can be exported to Excel with formulas, or generated as PDF, CSV, or deal packages. The Team plan includes 3 seats, a shared pipeline, and a shared Buy Box. Scale includes 5 seats and planned features such as branded exports and version history, though some capabilities are still on the roadmap.

Pricing and Security

Pricing is relatively transparent: the first full deal is free and does not require a credit card. Pro costs $49/month and supports unlimited deal analysis plus a full pipeline. Team costs $149/month, and Scale costs $299/month. Monthly and annual billing are available, with annual billing saving two months. Users can cancel auto-renewal themselves. On the data side, CREscope states that pipelines are private by default, that it does not sell deal data, and that it does not use deal documents to train AI models. However, the main materials do not disclose enterprise-grade compliance details such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, encryption, audit logs, or granular permission controls.

Pros, Cons, and Who It’s For

The main advantages are that the free first deal lowers the cost of trial, the underwriting workflow is highly verticalized, fields are editable, extraction confidence is visible, and Excel export remains available. It is a good fit for commercial real estate investors, small buyer teams, and users who need to screen deals repeatedly. The downsides are limited information about APIs, third-party integrations, self-hosting, and SSO; Team invitations still appear to involve some manual handling; and several advanced Scale features are not yet guaranteed to ship.

Access from China and Alternatives

The main materials do not provide information on network accessibility from China, RMB payments, or localized support, so its China access status is unknown. Domestic teams should test access, payment cards, and export file compatibility themselves. Alternatives include traditional Excel models, ARGUS, Dealpath, Northspyre, or custom-built underwriting workbooks.
