Same lead data. Full CRM included. No credit limits.

Why operators switch from Lead Scout
CRM is built in
Lead Scout exports CSVs. SpotLeads saves leads into a real CRM with pipelines, statuses, notes, contact logs, and activity timelines — no second tool required.
No credit limits
Lead Scout charges per-lead credits ($197 for 5k). SpotLeads gives unlimited searches on every plan and unlimited saves on Operator for $27/month.
AI outreach included
SpotLeads scrapes business context from the lead’s website and generates personalized outreach. Available on the Operator plan or unlocked free through referrals.
Follow-up that sticks
Set reminders, log every call and email, track status changes, and keep context attached to the lead so nothing falls through the cracks.
One thing Lead Scout has today that SpotLeads doesn't — yet
Lead Scout Premium includes a route planner for in-person visits. SpotLeads is building route planning into the product. Until then, operators typically pair Google Maps or a routing app for door-knocking and keep SpotLeads as the prospecting + CRM hub.
Cost less over time, do more from day one
Free or $27/mo
Unlimited searches on every plan. Operator adds unlimited saves, AI messages, card scanner, and reminders.
$197–$297 once
5k–15k lifetime credits. AI intros + route planner are Premium-only ($297). Top-ups $99/10k. No CRM.
An operator searching 3 markets/month burns through Lead Scout Standard credits in a few months. SpotLeads Operator costs less in year one and never runs out.
