    Booked Then Built alternative: new appointments from ads, or appointments from the leads you already have

    Booked Then Built runs ad campaigns for home improvement contractors and charges per pre-qualified booked appointment ($285 to $385 published) plus a one-time $2,250 setup. Setterly works the leads you already own and charges per booked appointment with no setup fee and no retainer. They solve different problems: one creates new demand, the other recovers demand you already paid for.

    What does Booked Then Built offer?

    Booked Then Built builds and runs ad campaigns for contractors and bills only when a pre-qualified homeowner is booked on your calendar. Its packages page lists a one-time $2,250 setup covering the funnel, ad creative, tracking and calendar integration, then $285 to $385 per booked appointment depending on monthly volume, with one contractor per trade per city (Booked Then Built packages; homepage). Trades listed include roofing, windows and doors, remodeling, siding, landscaping and pools.

    How is Setterly different?

    Setterly doesn't run ads or find new homeowners. It works the leads you've already paid for: past inquiries, unsold estimates, no-shows and platform leads that never booked. Because those leads already exist, there's no ad spend and no setup fee, and you pay per booked appointment.

    For many contractors the two fit together: new appointments from a pay per appointment ad program, plus appointments recovered from the database you already have. Compare pricing models on pay per appointment.

    Should you choose Booked Then Built or Setterly?

    Choose Setterly if: You already have hundreds or thousands of past leads and unsold estimates, and you want them turned into appointments with no setup fee.
