Comparison

At 100,000 leads/month, LeadsPedia's per-lead fees ($0.02-$0.10) cost $24,000-$120,000 annually, plus platform fees. A custom system costs $15,000-$40,000/year in maintenance with zero per-lead fees. Over 5 years at this volume, custom development saves $70,000-$625,000 depending on your pricing tier and lead volume growth.

Yes. Modern custom systems built on cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP) can process thousands of pings per second with sub-100ms response times. We've built systems handling 500,000+ leads monthly with 99.99% uptime. The technology is mature and battle-tested.

A full-featured custom lead distribution platform typically takes 12-16 weeks. This includes ping-post engine, buyer/seller portals, routing logic, compliance tools, and reporting. We can deliver core functionality in 8 weeks with additional features added iteratively.

Custom systems can include comprehensive compliance features: consent tracking, Jornaya/TrustedForm integration, state-level DNC checking, call recording consent, and audit trails. You can customize compliance rules to your specific verticals and requirements.

Most buyers can continue using their existing integration with minimal changes. We design APIs to be compatible with standard ping-post formats. For buyers with custom integrations, we provide detailed documentation and integration support.

Yes, this is a common path. Many clients start with LeadsPedia for quick market entry, then migrate to custom once volume justifies the investment. We specialize in LeadsPedia migrations and can transfer your entire operation with minimal disruption.
