Comparison
RidgeIQ vs Leap
The 30-second answer: Leap is built around the door-to-door sales rep workflow — in-home presentations, financing applications, contract signing on the iPad. RidgeIQ is built around lead capture, measurements, and pipeline management — getting homeowners to "yes" before a sales rep even shows up.

When Leap Wins
- Your sales motion is door-to-door / in-home presentation heavy
- Same-day contract signing with financing is your bread and butter
- You have a sales rep team paid on commission
- Your average ticket is $20k+ and benefits from white-glove in-home selling
When RidgeIQ Wins
- Most of your leads come from your website, Google, or referrals (not door-knocking)
- You want homeowners to self-qualify before a sales rep meets them
- You value unlimited measurements at flat pricing
- You're a gutter contractor or do mixed roof + gutter
- You operate in a storm-prone market and need NOAA alerts
- You want one platform instead of stitching multiple tools
Many Roofers Run Both
If you do both inbound (website widget) AND outbound (door-knocking) sales, the natural stack is RidgeIQ for inbound + Leap for outbound. They don't replace each other — they cover different motions.
