§01 · HOW WE'RE DIFFERENT

Same job. Different price, different loop.

Feature-by-feature, against the two things every campaign actually weighs this against: a legacy voter-file platform, or no dedicated tool at all. No client names, no invented stats — just what each approach includes.

 FrontlineHQLegacy voter-file platformSpreadsheets & separate vendors
Price$149/mo per cycle (Starter), unlimited canvassersTypically $5K+ per cycle, often bundled through party/committee access rather than sold direct to a single campaign$0 in software — cost shows up as volunteer hours and re-keyed data
Setup timeFL/NC voter file pre-loaded; other states via BYO upload, geocoded on import (10–20 min)Voter file access is usually already provisioned, but turf/program setup is a manual buildHowever long it takes to hand-cut turfs from a raw voter file export
Field dataGPS-verified door knocks, logged in one tap, streamed live to a dashboardVaries by platform — check what your specific tool logs and how fast it syncsPaper walk sheets or a spreadsheet, reconciled by hand at day's end
Mail / text / emailBuilt-in add-ons that write back to the same voter ID — a text opt-out suppresses the next mail drop automaticallyUsually separate vendors per channel — reconciliation is a manual, human stepSeparate vendors or DIY, no shared record between channels
ContractBilled per cycle (primary and general billed separately), 14-day free trial, cancel in one clickOften an annual or multi-cycle commitment — confirm with your specific vendorNo contract, but no support either
Who it's built forCandidates who can't justify a $5K+ voter-file license for one raceLarger campaigns and committees with the budget and staff to run itAnyone, by default, when there's no budget for either
