Draft, last updated October 21, 2026. Plain-English version. An attorney still needs to review it. We'll date any changes here.
The short version
- TradeCPL is an independent tracker of what contractors pay per lead and per signed job. We never sell leads.
- Our numbers are research, not advice. Check them against your own before you spend money.
- If you share numbers with us, the contribution terms apply too.
Using the site
You can read, share and link to our pages and quote our numbers with a link back to tradecpl.com. Please don't copy whole tables or datasets, scrape the site in bulk, resell our data, or use it to build a competing data product without written permission. Don't try to break the site, send fake submissions, or submit data you don't have the right to share.
Our numbers
We collect public figures, link every one to its source, and date it (see Sources and How we check numbers). Figures from other companies belong to them. Prices change, samples are often small, and your market may be different. The site and tools are provided "as is", without warranties. To the extent the law allows, TradeCPL isn't liable for business decisions you make based on the site, and our total liability for anything related to it is limited to $100.
Calculators and comparisons
Calculators run in your browser. Comparisons are estimates built from what you type and from published or pooled numbers. They aren't a quote, an audit or a guarantee.
Newsletter and email
If you subscribe, we email you the TradeCPL report. Unsubscribe from any email. We don't sell or rent email addresses. See Privacy.
Advertising and sponsors
Sponsored spots are always labeled. Sponsors never get to see or change our numbers, and nobody can pay to change a number.
Other sites
We link to other sites so you can check our sources. We don't control them and aren't responsible for them. We're not affiliated with Google, Angi or any company we mention.
Changes and contact
We may update these terms and will change the date above when we do. Using the site after a change means you accept it. These terms are governed by Texas law. Questions: [email protected] or TradeCPL, 5300 N Braeswood Blvd Ste 4-603, Houston, TX 77096.
