Verdict

The verdict

Leadnodes and LeadByte are similar in approach: both capture, validate and distribute leads to buyers and offer portals for buyers and suppliers. LeadByte describes strengths in capture from social ads, auction selling via the Ping Post Exchange and communication with leads via SMS and email. Leadnodes relies on multi-stage validation before delivery, geo-targeting down to kilometre radius, a rules engine without programming, complete billing with invoice, prepaid, SEPA and dunning, and a GDPR-compliant framework with hosting in Germany.
