At $30–60 per shared lead, a broker working 20 leads a month spends $600–$1,200 competing against other brokers for the same prospect. FundPipe's $49/mo subscription delivers exclusive, inbound leads — no competition, no per-lead math.

A funding broker closing MCA deals at $500 average commission breaks even on FundPipe in the first month — often with the very first deal. Here's what the math looks like across deal types.
It's not just cost. Per-lead pricing creates structural disadvantages that subscription models don't have.
When business is going well and you need more leads, per-lead pricing punishes you. Your costs double as your ambitions double. A subscription gives you a flat cost regardless of how many leads you need — so growth compounds instead of getting more expensive.
Pay-per-lead vendors maximize revenue by selling each contact to as many brokers as possible. A "lead" that's been called by 5 other people isn't a lead — it's a cold call to someone who's already annoyed. FundPipe routes each contact exclusively to one broker, once.
Most lead vendors deliver a name and a phone number. You find out the business has $30K annual revenue and 3 months in business after you've already spent 20 minutes on the call. FundPipe scores every applicant on credit, revenue, time in business, and funding type before you ever see them.
A good month requires more leads. More leads cost more money. Your profit margins swing month-to-month based on volume decisions, not business performance. Subscription pricing turns lead generation into a fixed overhead — known, predictable, and budget-friendly.
Pay-per-lead vendors deliver a CSV and disappear. FundPipe includes a built-in deal pipeline so you track every lead from New → Contacted → In Progress → Won/Lost without managing a separate CRM. The whole workflow is in one place.
