LEAD DOG FAIR, HONEST PRICING

Not cheaper.
Fairer.

Lead Dog isn’t venture-backed, so there’s no investor pressure to raise your price every year or lock the good features behind a higher tier. Every plan includes every feature — the free one included — and what you pay in month one is what you pay in month twenty-four.

All features includedNo per-feature upsellsNo setup feesCancel anytime

Start at $0 a month and stay there for as long as it suits you. Move to a paid plan when the maths says it’s cheaper — not because a feature got taken away.

Illustrative comparison. Lead Dog starts at $0 a month, with paid plans from $19 during the founding offer.

LEAD DOG WHO IT’S BUILT FOR

If you run jobs, crews
and invoices, it fits.

LEAD DOG SWITCHING

You can be running
jobs today.

No migration project. No two-week onboarding. Three steps and you’re working.

01
Create your account

Add your company name and trade. Takes about a minute — no credit card, no sales call.

02
Add your crew and customers

Invite your team and bring over the customers you’re already working with. We’ll help if the list is long.

03
Run today’s jobs in it

Schedule a job, send an estimate, take a payment. Most contractors do all three on day one.

LEAD DOG STRAIGHT ANSWERS

Questions contractors
ask before switching.

Minutes, not weeks. Create your account, add your company details, and you can schedule a job right away. There’s no mandatory demo, no onboarding call to book, and no setup fee. If you want a hand importing customers, our team will help.

No. Lead Dog is month to month and you can cancel any time from your account — no phone call, no retention script. Yearly billing is available if you’d rather pay once and save, but it’s a choice, not a requirement.

The free plan is $0 a month with unlimited users and every feature — leads, scheduling, projects, estimates, invoicing, route optimization, messaging and reporting. Paid plans exist for a lower payment-processing rate, not for extra features. Nothing important is held back for a higher tier.

Yes. Turn a finished job into an invoice on the spot and let customers pay by card or ACH from their phone. Reminders go out automatically on anything unpaid, so you stop chasing checks and money lands sooner.

Yes — there are full iOS and Android apps. Your crew can see the day’s route, update job status, add photos, and collect payment from the driveway. Everything syncs back to the office instantly.

That’s who it’s designed for. Scheduling is drag-and-drop, the dashboard shows what needs attention next, and crew members only see the jobs assigned to them. Most teams are comfortable after their first day of real jobs.

Bring them with you. You can import your customer list, and our support team will help you get it in cleanly. Most contractors start by running new jobs in Lead Dog while old work finishes out, then switch over completely within a week or two.

Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest, payments run through a certified payment processor, and each team member only has access to what their role needs. Your customer list is yours — you can export it at any time.

Support is included on every plan, free included, and it’s based in Frisco, Texas. You’ll reach someone who understands contracting workflows rather than reading from a script. Get in touch any time — before or after you sign up.
