LeadMove vs LeadByte
LeadByte is the legacy way to distribute leads. LeadMove is the modern one.
From $149/mo · no setup fee · nothing charged before day 15
TL;DR
LeadByte is a long-established UK lead-distribution and marketing-automation platform: quote-only pricing (third-party listings report entry from roughly £500/month), a demo-led sales process, and changes that typically go through onboarding or your account manager. LeadMove is the modern take on the same job — published pricing from $149/month, self-serve signup, a live webhook in about 15 minutes, and new capability shipped every week. Choose LeadByte if you need bundled SMS and email marketing automation plus ping/post; choose LeadMove if you want to see the price, build it yourself, and move today.

This is the product behind the table
No demo call needed to see it — this is the actual routing canvas and delivery tracking you get on day one.
What you get with LeadMove
Routing that matches how you sell
Rules with 15+ operators — zip, state, source, score, time of day. Daily and weekly caps paced across the day. Exclusive or shared per pipeline, each buyer at their own price per lead.
Your leads hear back in seconds
An SMS and an email leave the moment a lead reaches a buyer, from your own number and your own domain, naming the buyer who got them in that buyer's own words. Your buyer calls someone who is expecting the call.
A buyer portal that carries your name
Your logo, your colors, your own domain — no LeadMove branding anywhere on it. Buyers see their own leads, delivery status and history, and file returns with a reason instead of emailing you screenshots.
Returns settled on evidence
Every return is judged against the exact delivery record. Approve or reject, the decision is logged, and make-goods are billed right automatically.
Nothing ships before you say so
Hold new leads for review and release them yourself, or let the timer do it. Leads that fail validation or trip your spam rules are quarantined instead of dropped, and you can fix one and send it through.
Delivery your buyers never notice
Sub-second delivery to webhook, CRM, email, Google Sheets, or SMS. Failed endpoints retry with backoff behind a circuit breaker — one bad webhook never sinks the rest.
The real differences
LeadByte is a capable platform for lead sellers who need distribution plus built-in nurture — real-time ping/post, SMS and email marketing automation, and delivery to buyers — and it is well established in the UK and EU. It is also sold the way enterprise software was sold a decade ago: pricing is quote-only, you book a demo to get a number, and setup runs through onboarding. Third-party listings put entry around £500/month, but the official site does not publish a figure, so treat that as indicative.
LeadMove is the same job rebuilt for how software is bought now. Pricing is on the website ($149/$299/$499), there is no setup fee, and you sign up and have a working webhook in about 15 minutes without talking to anyone. You get routing rules with 15+ operators, smoothed caps, buyer tiers, conditional pricing per lead, prepaid wallets, quality scoring, a buyer portal, and returns with a lead-by-lead audit trail — every feature on every plan, no gating, no unlock call.
The difference you feel after month one is pace. LeadMove ships new capability weekly and it lands on your account the same day — webhook delivery templates, conditional pricing, prepaid wallets, scoring v2, and an in-app AI assistant all shipped in the last few weeks. The assistant is the clearest example of the gap: ask it "why is this lead unrouted?" and it reads the routing trace, the rules, and every buyer's caps and operating hours, then answers in plain English with the records it used — no ticket, no account manager, on every plan at no extra cost. Guided migration from legacy platforms is next on the roadmap; today, we import your historical leads for you — send the export to hello@leadmove.io and we map the fields with you.
The honest gaps: LeadByte bundles SMS and email marketing automation and offers ping/post that LeadMove does not. LeadMove delivers via SMS but is not a marketing-automation suite, and ping/post is on the roadmap. If you need those bundled in one tool, LeadByte covers more surface.
Switching from LeadByte: what it actually takes
Step 01
Point your traffic sources at LeadMove
Create a pipeline and you get a webhook URL immediately. Repoint your forms, ad platforms, or publishers — or start with a CSV import while you switch.
Step 02
Recreate your LeadByte routing
Add your buyers, set caps and prices per lead, and rebuild your rules with 15+ operators. Most setups translate in one sitting — open the chat and we will help you map fields.
Step 03
Run both in parallel, then switch off
Nothing forces a hard cutover. Keep LeadByte running while LeadMove handles a share of traffic, compare delivery lead-by-lead in the audit trail, and cancel the old bill when you trust the numbers.
When to choose LeadByte instead
Honest answer — LeadMove is not the right tool for everyone.
- You run high-volume ping/post and want it bundled with SMS and email marketing automation.
- You are UK/EU-based and prefer a vendor and support presence in that region.
- You need built-in lead nurture (drip SMS and email) alongside distribution in a single tool.
- You are comfortable with a demo-led sales process and quote-based pricing.
Frequently asked questions
How much does LeadByte cost?
LeadByte does not publish pricing; it is quote-based after a demo. Third-party listings report entry around £500/month, but treat that as unverified. LeadMove publishes $149/$299/$499 per month with no setup fee.
Does LeadByte offer a free trial?
Not published — LeadByte is demo-led. LeadMove offers a 14-day free trial (a card is required, but nothing is charged before day 15) with self-serve signup.
LeadByte vs LeadMove — what is the difference?
LeadByte bundles distribution with SMS and email marketing automation and ping/post, sold by quote after a demo. LeadMove is the modern, self-serve version of the distribution job: published pricing, every feature on every plan, buyer portal and returns included, and new capability shipped weekly.
Can I migrate from LeadByte to LeadMove?
Yes, and you do not have to do it alone. Repoint your sources to a LeadMove webhook, rebuild your routing and buyers, then run both in parallel until the numbers match. Send us your LeadByte export and we import your historical leads and map the fields with you — just open the chat. A guided migration flow is on the roadmap.
Is LeadMove powerful enough to replace LeadByte?
For distribution, yes: routing rules with 15+ operators, buyer tiers and rotations, smoothed caps, conditional pricing per lead, prepaid wallets, review gates, a buyer portal, and returns with a full audit trail — at any volume. The two things LeadByte has that LeadMove does not are bundled SMS/email marketing automation and ping/post.
Does LeadMove include an AI assistant?
Yes — in-app, on every plan, 500 questions a month. It diagnoses your own operations: why a lead went unrouted, which rule matched, which buyer was skipped and whether a cap or an operating window blocked it, lead quality by source, volume trends, and buyer status. It also answers product questions from the documentation and links the page it used. It is read-only — it explains your setup, it never changes it — and it hands you to a human when a question falls outside what it covers.
Route your leads in about 15 minutes
Published pricing from $149/mo, no setup fee, and a 14-day free trial — nothing is charged before day 15. Sign up and your webhook exists 5 minutes later.
