How we compared moving lead providers
Three things decide what a lead provider is worth to a moving company: whether you can see the price before you commit, how many other movers receive the same customer, and whether you can stop without a penalty. We checked each on the provider's own pages. For what those prices mean per booked job, see how much moving leads cost and shared vs exclusive moving leads.
Where we stand
This page is published by MoveLead, so read it with that in mind. What we can promise is that every claim about another company links to that company's own page and shows the date we checked it, and that we do not describe anyone as a bad option because they compete with us.
MoveLead
Moving-specific leads, phone and SMS verified, delivered in real time by SMS, email, or into your CRM. Shared leads are $15 local and $20 long-distance and go to up to 4 movers, or $28 and $38 for a two-mover cap. Exclusive leads are $45 local and $85 long-distance and go to you alone. Live transfers are $60 local and $100 long-distance. No long-term contracts.

FAQ
Choosing a lead provider, answered
The questions worth asking before you spend anything.
What should I look at when choosing a moving lead provider?
Three things decide your return: how many movers receive the same lead, whether the price is published before you commit, and whether you can stop without penalty. Everything else is detail.
Why do so few providers publish their lead prices?
Most route you to a sales call so pricing can be set per account. That is not automatically bad, but it does mean you cannot compare cost per lead across providers before signing up, and you should ask for written per-lead pricing before you pay anything.
Who are the best moving lead providers?
The best provider for you is the one whose price, distribution cap and contract terms you can see before paying, and whose lead type matches how fast your team calls back. This page compares moving-specific providers and general marketplaces on exactly those points, with a source and check date for every claim.
How much do moving leads cost from different providers?
MoveLead publishes its prices: $15 shared, $28 two-mover, $45 exclusive and $60 live transfer for local moves. Several other providers, including Thumbtack and MoveAdvisor, do not publish per-lead prices on their pro pages, so you need to ask their sales teams. Full breakdown in our guide to what moving leads cost.
Do moving lead companies offer live transfers?
Some do. MoveLead offers live transfers at $60 local and $100 long-distance, where a verified customer is connected to your phone in real time and the call is exclusive to you.
Are exclusive leads always better than shared?
No. Exclusive leads cost more — $45 versus $15 locally — and only pay off if you work them properly. If your team calls within minutes, shared volume often returns more per dollar. If you quote the next day, exclusive is the better spend.
