For contractors comparing lead sources
The Porch Alternative Where Every Lead Is Yours Alone
Contractors leave Porch for the same reason they leave every shared-lead service: shared leads and upsells, with lead quality complaints common in contractor forums. BellAveGo works the opposite way — leads pulled nightly from public code-enforcement and permit records, delivered to ONE contractor per zip, at a flat monthly rate. The homeowner has already been cited or permitted for the work, so they actually need you.
7 days free, then $197/mo flat. Cancel anytime. One contractor per zip.
