Cancel anytime. Your leads aren't resold to four competitors like Angi or HomeAdvisor.
Modernize sells the same form-fill to 4-6 contractors. By the time you call, 3 other reps already called. Contact rates run 5-15%. Average cost per CONTACTED lead works out to $400-800 once you factor in unreachable leads.
We sell permit data — homeowner-pulled, city-recorded, no form-fill. One subscriber per zip; we structurally cannot oversell. Flat $149/mo means cost-per-lead approaches $0 as you work the data.
Modernize subscribers report $400-1,200 CAC after lead cost + time-to-contact + close-rate. PermitGrab subscribers in their 6th month report $80-200 CAC because the data is exclusive and the homeowner is permit-committed.
Most installers do for the first 60 days, then drop Modernize once permit-lead flow stabilizes. Modernize bill drops from $3,000-5,000/mo to $0 within 90 days for typical subscribers.
