Average Cost of Contractor Leads by Trade (2026 Index)
Shared-lead marketplaces price per lead and commonly resell the same homeowner to 3–5 contractors. The table below shows commonly reported per-lead ranges by trade, next to the exclusive alternative: $99-$199 for one short-term rental host who asked for a cleaner, charged once. A shared lead is resold; a host here is sold once and refunded if they never reply.
| Trade | Avg job ticket | Shared lead (commonly reported) | Exclusive flat (BellAveGo) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Painting | $3,500 | $15 – $75 / lead, often shared | $99-$199 once, never shared |
| Cleaning Service | $350 | $15 – $75 / lead, often shared | $99-$199 once, never shared |
Methodology: shared-lead ranges reflect commonly reported pay-per-lead marketplace pricing (varies by market, season, and lead type); the exclusive figure is BellAveGo's one-time per-host price by bedroom count, not a per-lead average. Cite freely with a link to this page. Updated 2026.
