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.

	FrontlineHQ	Legacy voter-file platform	Spreadsheets & separate vendors
Price	$995 per election (Core Field), unlimited volunteer logins	Typically $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 time	FL/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 build	However long it takes to hand-cut turfs from a raw voter file export
Field data	GPS-stamped door knocks with field-integrity monitoring, logged in one tap, streamed live to a dashboard	Varies by platform — check what your specific tool logs and how fast it syncs	Paper walk sheets or a spreadsheet, reconciled by hand at day's end
Mail / text / email	Built-in add-ons that write back to the same voter ID — a text opt-out suppresses the next mail drop automatically	Usually separate vendors per channel — reconciliation is a manual, human step	Separate vendors or DIY, no shared record between channels
Contract	Billed once per election (primary and general billed separately) — no subscription, no monthly fee	Often an annual or multi-cycle commitment — confirm with your specific vendor	No contract, but no support either
Who it's built for	Candidates who can't justify a $5K+ voter-file license for one race	Larger campaigns and committees with the budget and staff to run it	Anyone, by default, when there's no budget for either

One flat price. No annual commitment.
