I built a pay-per-lead marketplace that makes money. Now I'm selling the kit for $97.

Hey IH,

6 months ago I started building a two-sided marketplace where homeowners submit service requests and contractors pay $9-$29 per lead to unlock contact info. It's live, it processes real payments, and it works.

I extracted the entire codebase, white-labeled it, and packaged it as a starter kit: Lead Gen Marketplace Kit.

The live demo is the product itself — brancheqc.ca runs on this exact codebase. Browse the homepage, submit the lead form, check the dashboard. That's what you're buying.

What's inside:

  • Multi-step lead capture form
  • Contractor registration + admin approval + license verification
  • Stripe pay-per-lead checkout (3-tier pricing: Free / Pro / Elite)
  • 6 transactional email templates
  • Admin dashboard with real-time analytics
  • 30+ SEO articles with JSON-LD schema
  • Social proof toast notifications
  • Bilingual system (FR/EN)
  • 5 bonus interactive tools (calculator, comparator, simulator...)

Stack: Next.js 16, Supabase, Stripe, Resend, Vercel. Total hosting cost to start: $0/month (all free tiers).

One config file (site.config.ts) rebrands the entire app — name, colors, services, pricing, locations. 10 minutes.

Deploy timeline: ~1 hour from download to live marketplace.

Works for any service industry — wedding vendors, legal services, auto services, health & wellness, tech services. Change the services array, change the locations, deploy.

Why $97? A freelance dev charges $75-150/hr. This has 200+ hours of work. Even as reference architecture alone it pays for itself in an afternoon.

Launch price is $97 for the first 50 buyers, then $197.

Happy to answer any questions about the architecture or how the marketplace model works.

    The marketplace model is a classic for a reason, and yours looks incredibly polished, Mikael. Selling the actual "engine" behind a working business like Branche is a total shortcut for anyone looking to skip the 200+ hours of dev work.
