Comparison

Boberdoo charges a monthly platform fee ($1,000-$5,000 depending on features) plus per-transaction fees ($0.01-$0.15 per lead or call). For high-volume operations (150,000+ transactions/month), these fees add up to $48,000-$330,000 annually. A custom system eliminates per-transaction fees entirely.

Yes. Custom systems can integrate lead distribution and call routing into a unified platform. We use modern telephony APIs (Twilio, Bandwidth) for call routing and can build custom IVR, call tracking, and recording features tailored to your needs.

Boberdoo has strong support for insurance (auto, home, health, life), mortgage, home services, and legal. If your business operates in these verticals with standard workflows, Boberdoo may work well. Custom is better for unique routing logic or emerging verticals.

A complete migration from Boberdoo to a custom system typically takes 18-26 weeks including development, integration migration, testing, and cutover. We run systems in parallel during transition to ensure zero disruption to your operations.

Boberdoo doesn't provide buyers—you bring your own network. Since buyer relationships are yours, they transfer to a custom system. We handle the technical integration work; your business relationships remain intact.

Boberdoo offers pre-built reports and dashboards. Custom reporting requires their professional services at $175-$275/hour. A custom system lets you build any report or dashboard you need without additional costs, with real-time data access.
