Qualified appointment
A confirmed meeting with a decision-maker about a commercial property. If any of those three is missing, it is not an appointment.
Pay-per-appointment bills the meeting. A back-end partner bills the collected job.
Those are different risk models. This page names the category — including how GS Roofing Leads / GenSales market PPA — without a smear slug and without THP fees.
Pay-per-appointment services bill when a meeting is set. You still pay if the prospect no-shows or never signs. A back-end partnership, if the contractor qualifies, funds the search and the set; the contractor pays only after close and collection. Those are different risk models. This page does not publish THP fees.
What does pay-per-appointment mean?
You owe money when a qualified meeting is scheduled. As of 2026-09-01, GS Roofing Leads markets pay-per-appointment, B2B commercial, exclusive appointments for roof reviews. GenSales markets “pay on the basis of the qualified appointments we schedule.” Neither page we fetched published a dollar rate card. Other vendors do post prices — Your Lead Masters listed $750 per appointment; RoofProspect bidding “starts at $75.” Those are their posted numbers, dated, not an industry average, not THP pricing.
What does pay-after-close mean?
If you qualify, the setter funds outreach and the set. You owe on the back end after you close and collect. Typical partnership terms are confirmed after qualification. We do not lock a replacement-hour or contract-length guess on this page.
Who eats no-shows, tire-kickers, and no-closes?
Under PPA, a no-show or a polite meeting that never signs is usually still a billable set unless that vendor’s contract says otherwise. Under a back-end model you did not buy the appointment up front — a bad meeting costs you a drive, not a lead invoice. Ask every setter to put no-show language in writing. Typical partnership terms are confirmed after qualification.
What “exclusive” does and does not mean
Exclusive can mean one contractor per meeting — or one contractor per lead file. Some PPA shops publicly sell exclusive or shared sets at different prices (Infinite Pipeline, fetched 2026-09-01). Read the line item. Marketplace sharing is covered on vs Angi.
Questions to ask any appointment setter
When does the invoice fire? Who confirmed authority? What happens on a no-show? Is the meeting exclusive? Commercial only? Do they install roofs or hold the contract? (THP does not.)
What THP will and will not claim here
We will not call PPA shops scams. We will not copy guarantee language from adjacent vendors. We will not invent THP set volume. We will not publish a commission. Hire-versus-buy capacity is on appointment setting.

| Axis | Angi / HomeAdvisor | Typical commercial PPA (e.g. GS / GenSales as they market) | THP partner offer |
|---|---|---|---|
| When money moves | When you buy the match — including if you never do the job | When a qualified appointment is set | After you close and collect |
| Object sold | Consumer home-services lead | Commercial appointment / roof review | Qualified commercial appointment, if you partner |
| No-close risk | You already paid | Usually still paid for the set | You did not buy the set up front |
| Named rate card | None on pages we fetched | GS/GenSales: none public. Other vendors post their own $ | None — we do not publish pricing |
GS/GenSales pages fetched 2026-09-01. Angi 10-K FY 2025. Posted $ figures from Your Lead Masters and RoofProspect are those vendors only. Airos markets a software-plus-guarantee model — not treated as PPA here, and we do not copy that guarantee.

The contrast is when you pay
We name the category — including how GS Roofing Leads and GenSales market PPA — without a smear page against one vendor.

No cheaper-than claim
We cannot say THP is cheaper. We do not publish fees. Cheaper is a different question than who holds no-close risk.
