PermitLeads vs the big construction-data platforms
Shovels.ai, ConstructConnect, and Dodge are powerful platforms built for national contractors, manufacturers, and enterprise sales teams. If you're a one-trade local business that just wants this week's new permits for your work, they're more than you need. Here's the honest difference.
| PermitLeads | Enterprise platforms (Shovels.ai · ConstructConnect · Dodge) | |
|---|---|---|
| Who it's for | One local trade (dumpster, roofing-adjacent, fence/pool) | National contractors, suppliers, enterprise sales teams |
| What you get | Last week's new permits for your one trade, by email + CSV | Full construction-project databases, dashboards, analytics, integrations |
| Setup | None — reply to start, leads arrive Monday | Logins, seats, often a sales call and onboarding |
| Price | $99–$149/mo, 2 weeks free, cancel by reply | Quote-based / annual contracts — ask them for a current number |
| Commitment | Month to month | Typically annual |
We don't publish competitors' prices here because they're quote-based and change — and we won't print a number we haven't re-verified. For an exact comparison, ask each vendor for current pricing; our $99–$149/mo is firm and on every product page. Both we and they ultimately draw on the same public permit records — we just hand you the slice for your trade.
