Pay-per-lead for Software development firms in Canada and the US

Pay-per-lead for Software development firms

Reach organizations planning software work that fits your team. We qualify the project stage, scope and technical buyer before arranging a discovery conversation.

USD $15 to $500 per accepted lead

Pay-per-lead for software development firms means you pay per accepted lead: an inquiry that passes the qualification and exclusion rules we agree with you in writing before launch. Pricing runs USD $15 to $500 per accepted lead, quoted for your market, with no setup fee. A lead that fails the agreed rules gets a replacement, not a refund.

What counts as a billable accepted lead

What we check against the agreed profile.

Gate 1: Problem and stack fit

The problem, product stage and technical environment fit the services your firm provides.

Gate 2: Project owner

The contact owns the project or can involve its business and technical sponsors.

Gate 3: Type of work

The request identifies a build, modernization, integration or delivery-capacity need.

Gate 4: Timing and procurement

Timing, procurement and the expected first engagement are discussed without promising a delivery estimate.

What never counts

  • Requests outside the agreed service, customer profile or territory.
  • Invalid contact details and duplicates under the campaign agreement.
  • Existing clients, active opportunities and suppressed contacts excluded by your campaign rules.
  • Requests without the required permission for delivery and follow-up.

How it works

How it works. Timing is quoted after the audience, geography, qualification and campaign requirements are approved.

  1. 1

    You tell us who you want

    Service area, customer type, the work you want and any exclusions. We agree the criteria in writing so every accepted lead can be checked against the same standard.

  2. 2

    We do the work

    Vivin runs the approved campaign and checks each response against the written qualification and exclusion criteria before delivery.

  3. 3

    You get it with proof

    Delivered through the agreed handoff with the source and available qualification evidence attached.

Development opportunities with a product problem and an owner.

A funded rebuild, an integration backlog and a new product discovery need different engagements. Position your firm around the development work it does best, then qualify the buyer’s goal, sponsor and next decision.

Prepare the next conversation.

Bring the relevant sponsor to a requirements conversation. The development firm determines technical feasibility and scope. A founder’s idea without an agreed buying process should not be equated with an approved project.

Campaign management and follow-up.

Vivin selects and manages the acquisition channels for your market. We agree the audience, qualification and delivery scope with you, then review the inquiries and conversations your team receives.

Questions founders and sales leads at custom software and dev shops ask

Questions we get asked.

Can we focus on integrations instead of new builds?

Yes. Integration buyers have a different problem and often different stakeholders. Give that service a distinct qualification path.

Can you filter out people seeking free development?

The campaign can state the commercial service clearly and explore project sponsorship and buying intent before an opportunity advances.

Does qualification include technical discovery?

Only basic context. Your engineers and delivery team assess feasibility, architecture, effort and the project estimate.

What should a booked meeting accomplish?

Confirm the problem, business sponsor, expected timing and appropriate next step, such as discovery, an assessment or a proposal.

Can pay-per-close fit project work?

Potentially, with proven delivery, adequate margins and a clear definition of the attributed contract. Change orders and later work need separate agreement.

Will high-volume outreach suit every development firm?

No. The reachable market, differentiation and account sensitivity determine the approach. A small strategic market benefits from more specific relationship building.
