    Why do roofers compare VA Horizon with Lead Engine?

    Because they are the two ends of the same decision: buy appointments by the unit, or buy a weekly floor. VA Horizon publishes $300 setup plus $199 per exclusive double-confirmed appointment with no retainer and no-shows replaced, which makes it easy to start small. Lead Engine writes down a weekly number of shown inspections, replaces any appointment that fails a checkpoint at no charge, and keeps calling at no additional cost if the weekly number is missed. Per appointment pricing is more flexible. A weekly shown floor is more predictable. Roofers usually pick based on whether the problem is testing a channel or filling a schedule.

    You want a weekly number of shown inspections rather than a unit price
    You want the qualification standard written down as seven checkpoints
    You want to be the only roofing contractor in your market on the program
