Comparison
How PermitVector compares.
Honest, side-by-side breakdowns of PermitVector against the other ways contractors find leads and permit data — including where each competitor is the better choice.
PermitVector vs Angi Leads
shared pay-per-lead marketplace
Flat $99–249/mo. You are upstream of the homeowner: the permit is public the day it files, before anyone has been hired, so you reach out first instead of sixth in line after a shared-lead blast. No per-lead fee, no shared queue, no race to a buyer who has already picked a favorite.

national weekly permit database
Tuned to our live markets and daily. A permit filed yesterday is in your feed by 6 AM, while the homeowner is still days from picking a contractor. Every permit is pre-classified by trade and pre-mapped to the adjacent buyer who should act on it, so you spend zero time filtering. No manual cross-referencing required.

national AI permit-data platform
Built for the SMB contractor, not an analyst team. $99–249/mo gets you a daily adjacent-buyer feed in plain English, pre-classified and pre-mapped, delivered as a brief by 6 AM CT. No API, no data warehouse, no engineer required.

exclusive permit lead service
Flat monthly, unlimited permits, every live market across five states today, with more metros opening. Rather than selling you a single contact, we surface the permit signal and the adjacent-buyer opportunity the day it files. A new roof means a solar installer should call, before the homeowner has shopped. PermitDrop is best for a curated exclusive contact list in Austin; PermitVector is best for volume plus adjacency across every market we cover.

contractor marketplace with referral matching
Outbound, permit-driven, zero revenue share. The permit is filed before the homeowner has chosen a contractor, so you are upstream of the decision: you reach out first, under your own terms, and you keep 100% of the job. Flat monthly, no percentage cut.

legacy Texas weekly permit reports (CSV)
Daily delivery, daily freshness. Every permit is classified by trade and mapped to the adjacent buyer automatically, so you do not receive a raw spreadsheet you have to interpret, and you reach the homeowner days earlier. If you are a materials supplier who just needs volume counts, HBW’s weekly format may fit. If you are a trade contractor who needs to act on tomorrow’s leads today, PermitVector is built for that.
