Honest, side-by-side breakdowns of PermitVector against the other ways Texas contractors find leads and permit data — including where each competitor is the better choice.
PermitVector vs Angi Leads
shared pay-per-lead marketplace
Flat $199–699/mo. Public-record permit signals nobody else is working yet — you reach out before the homeowner has chosen the next contractor, not sixth in line after a shared lead blast. No per-lead fee, no shared queue.

national weekly permit database
Texas-tuned and daily — a permit filed yesterday is in your feed by 6 AM. Every permit is pre-classified by trade and pre-mapped to the adjacent buyer who should act on it, so you spend zero time filtering. No manual cross-referencing required.

national AI permit-data platform
Built for the Texas SMB contractor, not an analyst team. $199–699/mo gets you a daily adjacent-buyer feed in plain English — pre-classified, pre-mapped, delivered as a brief by 6 AM CT. No API, no data warehouse, no engineer required.

exclusive permit lead service
Flat monthly, unlimited permits, all 10 live Texas markets today. Rather than selling you a single contact, we surface the permit signal and the adjacent-buyer opportunity — a new roof means a solar installer should call. PermitDrop is best for a curated exclusive contact list in Austin; PermitVector is best for volume + adjacency across Texas.

contractor marketplace with referral matching
Outbound, permit-driven, zero revenue share. A permit is filed before the homeowner has chosen a contractor — you reach out first, under your own terms, and you keep 100% of the job. Flat monthly, no percentage cut.

legacy Texas weekly permit reports (CSV)
Daily delivery, daily freshness. Every permit is classified by trade and mapped to the adjacent buyer automatically — you don’t receive a raw spreadsheet you have to interpret. If you’re a materials supplier who just needs volume counts, HBW’s weekly format may fit. If you’re a trade contractor who needs to act on tomorrow’s leads today, PermitVector is built for that.
