What Happened to Leap's Pricing?
Leap was once a popular choice for roofing sales teams. Then they merged with JobProgress.
What happened next? Prices skyrocketed.
Leap's Current Pricing
- Essential: $99/month (limited features)
- Pro: $249/month (3 users included)
- Enterprise: Custom pricing (often $400+/month)
- Additional users: $5-$6/user/month
Many long-time Leap users report their costs tripled after the acquisition. A contractor who was paying $75/month is now paying $249/month for the same features.
"After the merger, my Leap bill went from around $80/month to $250/month. Same features, same team size. They just decided to charge more."
This is the danger of building your business on software owned by private equity — they optimize for profit extraction, not customer value.
FieldFuze: Roofing Sales Tools for $0/Month
$0Professional proposals, roofing estimates, insurance claims tracking, customer CRM, scheduling, invoicing, and payments. All included. Unlimited users. You only pay 2.9% on payments you process. No acquisitions. No price hikes.
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 Showed up to appointments with outdated information."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 (Same 5-Person Team)
$9,396 saved over 3 years. That's almost $10,000 you can put toward marketing, equipment, or hiring. Or just keep it as profit.

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 includes everything: sales tools, production scheduling, invoicing, payments, and more — all for $0/month.
"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
Is FieldFuze Really Free?
Yes. $0/month subscription. We make money the same way Stripe and Square do — 2.9% on payments you process. Unlike Leap (which charges monthly AND takes a cut of financing), we don't charge subscription fees.
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?
Absolutely. Since FieldFuze costs $0/month, there's no financial risk to running both systems in parallel. Many contractors do this during transition, then cancel Leap once they're comfortable.
Will My Data Transfer from Leap?
We can help migrate your customer data and job history from Leap. Book a demo and we'll discuss your specific migration needs.
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: $0/month, all features included, unlimited users. We make money when you process payments — we're aligned with your success, not extracting monthly fees regardless of whether the software works for you.
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.
