Modernize leads for contractors: ask for the details in writing

Short answer: Modernize describes a dynamic pricing model for leads and confirms customer addresses and phone numbers, and it starts pros with a personalized consultation. Its pro pages do not publish a per-lead price, sharing rules, return policy or contract terms, so get all of those in writing before you sign.
