HelloLeads tracks your leads. Lead Score tells you which ones are worth your time.
HelloLeads is a fine contact manager. But it has no scoring system — every lead looks the same until you've wasted hours on the bad ones. Lead Score qualifies every lead in 5 minutes so you never drive to a tire kicker again.
| Choose Lead Score if… | Choose HelloLeads if… |
|---|---|
| Choose Lead Score if you want a lead tracker that tells you whether a lead is worth pursuing — not just that the lead exists. | Choose HelloLeads if you manage a small sales team that needs shared lead distribution across multiple reps and email-based reminders are sufficient. |
| You're a solo contractor who qualifies leads yourself | You manage a team of salespeople sharing leads |
| You want scoring before you quote | Email reminders work fine for your workflow |
| You need push notifications, not email | You need a web dashboard, not mobile-first |
| You want local storage — no account | You don't need lead scoring or qualification |
| You want mileage, estimates, and invoices in one app | You prefer a cloud-based CRM |
Lead Score vs HelloLeads
Lead Score was built by a contractor who tracked leads in HelloLeads for months — and realized it never once told him which ones were worth driving to. That gap became the entire product.

HelloLeads organizes your leads. It never tells you which ones deserve your time.
HelloLeads is popular for a reason — it's affordable, easy to set up, and works for basic contact and lead tracking. For a small sales team passing leads around, it does the job. But for a contractor trying to decide which jobs to quote, it's missing the one thing that matters most: a way to tell good leads from bad ones.
× 3–5 bad leads per month = 10–20 hours of your best time, gone.
Every lead in HelloLeads looks identical. There's no scoring system, no qualification framework, no signal that tells you whether the person who just called is a serious buyer with a real budget or someone fishing for a ballpark who'll get three bids and disappear. You find out the hard way — after you've driven 40 minutes, walked the job, and spent two hours on a proposal.
HelloLeads users have been asking for lead scoring for years. It hasn't arrived. The app also requires an account and stores your data in the cloud — meaning someone else holds your pipeline.
"I wish it had a way to rate or score leads so I knew which ones to focus on first."

A clear score on every lead before you invest a minute.
Lead Score's 5-factor scoring system evaluates every lead across Project Fit, Budget Fit, Decision Maker, Motivation, and Timeline — giving you a Great Fit, Possible Fit, Unclear Fit, or Bad Fit result in under 5 minutes. No guesswork. No gut feel. Just a clear signal.
Your dashboard shows close rate by lead source, won revenue, open pipeline, and which sources are actually winning you jobs. HelloLeads shows you a list. Lead Score shows you a business.
And unlike HelloLeads, Lead Score requires no account. All your data lives on your device. No one can raise prices and lock you out of your own pipeline.
What your current app stack actually costs.
Most solo contractors run 4–5 separate apps. Here's the monthly total — and what Lead Score costs to replace all of them.
Or go annual at $59.99/year — less than $5/month for the full stack.
Clear pricing. No surprises.

HelloLeads makes sense if you're managing a team that needs shared lead distribution and you don't care about qualifying leads before you quote them. For solo contractors and owner-operators, Lead Score is the clearer choice.
