Honest Comparison

Looking at Footbridge?
Here's the honest comparison.

Footbridge runs a strong $249/mo all-in package for contractors. Website, hosting, GBP, CRM, review tools, the whole stack on a single monthly bill with no contract. I'm built differently: you pick what you need, from a $99/mo done-for-you Live Website to flat-fee builds you own and standalone lead lists, with no long-term contract. Different buying motion: Footbridge bundles everything into one monthly bill, I let you start with one thing and add more as it works.

Side by side

Footbridge vs StratosReach.

Dimension	Footbridge	StratosReach
Pricing model	$249/mo, billed monthly, no contract, 90-day money-back	À la carte, pick what you need. One-time: lead lists $395-$1,150, SEO Rescue $1,495, owned site builds $1,695-$2,695, GBP Rescue $297. Monthly (optional, month-to-month): a $99/mo done-for-you Live Website, reviews, social, ads. No forced bundle, no long-term contract.
What you actually get	Website (unlimited pages), hosting, local SEO + GBP optimization, CRM, review management, appointment scheduler, payments, lead-capture forms, dedicated consultant	Whatever you order: a verified lead list, a 30-day SEO plan executed end to end, a full service-hub website with a page for each service and area, a one-day GBP overhaul. Each is its own product. No forced CRM or scheduler you may not need, and you pick one-time or monthly per item.
Contract / retainer	Month-to-month, cancel anytime	No long-term contract. Buy one-time deliverables outright, or take a month-to-month option like the $99/mo Live Website or care plan. Nothing is forced, walk away whenever.
Who owns the work	You own the site and content. The platform tools (CRM, scheduler, etc.) sit on Footbridge's stack and stay with them.	You own everything. The site is on your hosting. The lead list xlsx is yours. The SEO work lives inside your accounts.
Best fit	Contractors who want one bill for everything, including software they'd otherwise pay separately for (CRM, scheduler, review tools), and don't mind the relationship being ongoing.	Contractors who want to pick exactly the marketing work they need, one-time or monthly, without a forced all-in software bundle.

Where Footbridge Wins

They've got a real package.

Bundled software you'd pay for anyway

CRM, scheduler, review tools, payments. Those have real monthly costs if you buy them separately. Bundling them into the $249/mo is genuinely good math for a contractor who isn't running any of that yet.

One bill, one phone number

A dedicated consultant who knows your account beats juggling three or four vendors. For an owner-operator who'd rather pay one place and call one person, that matters.

No contract, real money-back window

Month-to-month with a 90-day money-back is a fair offer. If it doesn't move the needle in 90 days, you're out.

Where StratosReach wins

When you'd rather just buy the work.

Pick what you need, nothing forced

$249/mo is $2,988/year for the whole bundle, whether you use all of it or not. I let you buy just the pieces you need: a one-time SEO Rescue at $1,495, or a $99/mo done-for-you Live Website, or a lead list, on their own. For a shop that already has a CRM and scheduler, the all-in model is paying for software you don't need.

Owner-verified lead lists are a distinct product

Footbridge runs marketing to bring leads to you. I also sell the list itself: commercial properties in your service area, county-record verified, condition-checked from satellite, with a working contact path. That's not in the Footbridge box.

Trades-insider scope on the website work

The service hub is built off your GBP categories and the work you actually do, a page for each service and area, not a generic contractor template. Page count and structure are decided by what ranks for your trade, not by what fits the platform.

Your stuff stays yours

The site sits on your hosting. The SEO work is in your Google Search Console and your GBP. There's no platform to migrate off if we stop working together.

Who should choose each

Different shops, different problems.

Pick Footbridge if you don't have a CRM yet, you don't have a scheduler, you don't have review-request software, and you want one $249/mo bill that turns all of that on along with the website and SEO. Their consultant handles the whole thing. That's a real offer.

Pick StratosReach if you already have the operational tools you need (most contractors who've been running a few years do) and what you actually need is the specific marketing work: an owner-verified lead list, the SEO done once and done right, a website built around your services. Pay for the specific work, one-time or monthly, not for a platform bundle you won't fully use.

Questions

Common questions.

Is StratosReach cheaper than Footbridge?

Depends on the comparison. Footbridge is $249/mo all-in, which is $2,988 over a year. My SEO Rescue is $1,495 once, a Full Site is $2,695 once, GBP Rescue is $297 once, a done-for-you Live Website is $99/mo. If you only need one of those, I'm cheaper. If you genuinely need the website + the CRM + the scheduler + the review software, Footbridge bundles things I don't sell, so it's not a clean price-versus-price.

Can I use both?

Yes. Some shops use Footbridge for the ongoing tools and bring me in for a one-time deliverable, usually a lead list to feed top-of-funnel or a focused SEO Rescue to fix specific ranking gaps the platform doesn't address. The two don't overlap if you scope each one right.

Does Footbridge sell verified lead lists?

No. Their model is marketing-to-attract (website, SEO, GBP, ads if you add them), so leads come inbound. I sell the outbound list itself: specific properties in your service area, owner-verified from county records, condition-checked from satellite. Different motion entirely. If you want outbound, that's me. If you want the inbound stack, that's them.

What if I want to switch from Footbridge to StratosReach?

Pretty clean. You'd cancel the $249/mo, keep your domain, and I'd build the replacement deliverables you actually need: usually the SEO Rescue plus a full service hub on your own hosting. The CRM and scheduler tools live in Footbridge's stack so you'd need to swap those separately, which is the main migration cost. Worth doing the math before the move.
