What you're actually buying
THE BIG LEAD PLATFORMS
✕A form fill from someone comparison-shopping — or just curious
✕The same lead sold to up to five contractors — race to the phone
✕Stale leads, recycled requests, no way to know when it was posted
✕Disputes and credits at the platform's discretion, after you argue
✕Monthly subscriptions and advertising spend on top of lead fees

They asked first
Every lead starts as a public request — "anyone know a good roofer?" That's a different kind of buyer than someone clicking an ad. They want the work done, and they said so out loud.
You're the only call
When five contractors buy the same lead, the homeowner stops answering the phone by call three. On PorchLead, your call is the only one coming. Quote at your pace, not in a sprint.
Zero-risk unlocks
If the name, number, or address can't be confirmed, the credit returns automatically. You never pay for a dead end, and you never have to argue with support to get made whole.
Judge the leads yourself — browsing is free.
See every open request in your trade and area before spending a credit.
