What Happened to Leap's Pricing?
Leap built its reputation on in-home sales presentations, and for door-to-door roofers, it can be a solid tool.
But $249/month for 3 users with limited post-sale features? A lot of the contractors I work with found they outgrew it fast — great for closing the deal at the kitchen table, but then you need something else to actually manage the job. Here's what I've been hearing and what the alternatives look like.
FieldFuze Pro: Sales + Operations in One Platform
$349/moLeap is sales-only. FieldFuze Pro covers sales AND post-sale operations: professional proposals, roofing estimates, customer CRM, scheduling, invoicing, payments, and inventory — flat $349/mo for 15 seats. (Insurance claims and EagleView on Enterprise at $799/mo.)
Leap's Reliability Problems
Beyond pricing, Leap users consistently report software reliability issues:
Common Leap Complaints
- Features that break: "After updates, features we rely on just stop working. Had to reschedule sales appointments."
- GPS doesn't work: "GPS tracking hasn't worked reliably in months. Can't see where my sales reps are."
- Sync problems: "Data doesn't sync between devices. Showed up to appointments with outdated information."
- Slow performance: "The app is painfully slow. Homeowners get impatient while we wait for proposals to load."
- Forced upgrades: "They removed features from my plan and said I need to upgrade to get them back."
- Contract traps: "Tried to cancel after the price increase but they said I'm locked in for another year."
When your sales software fails during a homeowner presentation, you lose deals. Software that "mostly works" isn't good enough when you're trying to close a $15,000 roof.

The Real Math: 3-Year Cost Comparison
Let's calculate what a typical roofing company with a sales team pays over 3 years:
Leap (5-Person Sales Team)
FieldFuze Pro (Same 5-Person Team — Sales + Ops)
The Leap math looks cheaper at first — $9,396 vs $12,564 over 3 years. But Leap is sales-only. Add a $150/mo scheduling tool and a $50/mo invoicing tool to match what FieldFuze covers, and Leap's 3-year stack runs $16,596 — without the ops integration. FieldFuze gives you sales AND post-sale in one platform with no separate tools to bolt on.
Escape the Leap Price Hikes
No more worrying about your software costs tripling overnight after the next acquisition. FieldFuze prices flat per tier and the rate you sign at is the rate you keep.
Sales + ops in one platform. Flat $349/mo Pro. No surprise hikes.

Running a successful roofing company requires more than just sales tools. Here's what you actually need:
Complete Roofing Business Requirements
- Estimates & Proposals: Create professional proposals that close deals at homeowner's kitchen tables
- Insurance Claims: Track storm damage claims, supplements, and adjuster communications
- Photo Documentation: Before/after photos, damage documentation, proof of work
- Customer CRM: Manage leads, follow-ups, and customer history
- Scheduling: Coordinate sales appointments and production crews
- Invoicing & Payments: Get paid faster with professional invoices and payment processing
- Commission Tracking: Calculate and track sales rep commissions automatically
Leap focuses heavily on sales presentations but falls short on production management. You end up needing additional software for scheduling, invoicing, and payments.
FieldFuze Pro includes everything: sales tools, production scheduling, invoicing, payments, inventory, and more — all flat at $349/mo for 15 seats.
"Leap tripled our price after they got acquired. FieldFuze does the same thing — proposals, CRM, scheduling — for free. My sales team transitioned in a week and hasn't looked back."
Why Roofers Are Leaving Leap
Top Reasons Contractors Switch
- Price increases: Costs tripled after acquisition with no new features
- Software instability: Features break, GPS doesn't work, sync fails
- Contract lock-in: Difficult to cancel even when unhappy
- Missing features: Still need separate software for scheduling and invoicing
- Per-user fees: Every new sales rep increases monthly costs
- Support decline: Response times and quality dropped post-merger
When a company gets acquired, existing customers rarely benefit. The new owners are focused on maximizing revenue, not improving the product for you.
Leap Alternative FAQ
How Does FieldFuze Pricing Compare to Leap?
Three flat plans: Core $49/mo (3 seats), Pro $349/mo (15 seats), Enterprise $799/mo (25 seats). The difference is what's included — Leap is sales-only, so you'd need separate scheduling and invoicing tools on top. FieldFuze covers sales AND post-sale operations in one platform.
Does FieldFuze Work for Roofing Sales?
Yes. FieldFuze includes professional proposal creation, estimate tools, financing options, digital signatures, and customer CRM. Present proposals on tablets at the kitchen table just like you would with Leap.
Can FieldFuze Handle Insurance Claims?
Yes. FieldFuze includes insurance claims tracking specifically for storm damage and restoration work. Document damage with photos, track claim status, manage supplements, and communicate with adjusters — all in one platform.
What About My Sales Team's Commissions?
FieldFuze includes commission tracking. Set up commission structures, track sales by rep, and calculate payouts automatically. No spreadsheets needed.
Can I Try FieldFuze While Still Using Leap?
Yes. FieldFuze has no annual contract — month-to-month billing. Run both systems in parallel during transition, then cancel Leap once your team is comfortable. No lock-in friction.

The Bottom Line
Leap was a solid roofing sales tool until the acquisition changed everything. Prices tripled, software reliability declined, and customers got locked into contracts they didn't want.
FieldFuze takes a different approach: Flat per-tier pricing — Pro $349/mo for 15 seats, sales tools AND post-sale operations included in one platform. No private-equity exit playbook, no surprise hikes, no separate tools to bolt together.
Your roofing business needs stability. You shouldn't have to worry about your software costs doubling or tripling because some private equity firm decided to maximize profits.
