For solar + home-improvement contractors looking to escape Modernize

The Modernize Alternative for Solar + Home Improvement Leads

Modernize sells the same lead to 4-6 contractors. PermitGrab sells permit data from real public records — one buyer per zip, no resale, exclusive forever. $149/mo unlimited vs Modernize's $2,400-6,000/mo for the same lead volume.

Why PermitGrab

EXCLUSIVE per zip — Modernize sells the same lead to 4-6 contractors
$149/mo flat unlimited — Modernize charges $80-200 per shared lead
Permit-verified commitment — Modernize sells unverified form-fills
Daily-fresh data — Modernize leads are days old by the time you get them
150+ cities — Modernize coverage is limited and lead volume varies wildly

Frequently asked questions

What's wrong with Modernize?

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.

How is PermitGrab structurally different?

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.

Will my CAC drop?

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.

Can I run both Modernize and PermitGrab?

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.
