About MarketSharp
MarketSharp is the longest-established lead management and CRM platform built specifically for home improvement contractors, founded in 1989 in West Bend, Wisconsin and now serving home remodeling, roofing, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, windows, siding, baths, and general contracting operations. The product targets a specific buyer segment that general FSM and general CRM platforms underserve: home improvement contractors doing high lead volume (100+ leads/month) needing structured lead-to-sale workflows with marketing attribution and CRM depth.
What separates MarketSharp from general CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot) is the home improvement industry specialization. The platform's lead management workflow is built around the specific lead-to-sale cycle of remodeling and home services: lead capture from multiple sources (website forms, Google Local Services Ads, call tracking, lead-gen marketplaces), automated lead routing to sales reps, multi-touch follow-up sequences calibrated to remodeling sales cycles, appointment scheduling tied to lead status, marketing attribution showing which lead sources actually close, and CRM tracking from initial lead through sold job. The 35+ years of home improvement specialization mean the workflow assumes industry conventions that generic CRM doesn't.
Pricing is custom-quoted with no published tiers. User-reported pricing typically lands at $300-$500 per month per company (not per-user), making MarketSharp accessible for small-to-mid home improvement operations. Pricing tiers vary by company size, lead volume, and feature module selection. Sales-call required to get pricing.
Integration coverage is intentionally focused on the home improvement workflow: QuickBooks for accounting and Zapier for custom workflow automation. The narrow integration ecosystem reflects MarketSharp's specialty positioning — broader integrations (specialty CRM, marketing automation, dispatch tools) typically require Zapier workflows or aren't supported.
The trade-off: MarketSharp is not a full FSM. It doesn't handle scheduling, dispatching, technician work orders, or invoicing — it stops at 'sold job'. Operations need separate FSM platforms underneath for operations management. The UI shows the platform's 35+ year history and feels dated compared to modern CRM/FSM alternatives. For home improvement contractors doing 100+ leads/month and prioritizing lead management depth + marketing attribution over modern UX, MarketSharp's specialty depth remains valuable. For smaller operations or operations prioritizing modern UI, alternatives like Sera Systems (built-in marketing attribution) or general FSM with CRM features are often better fits.
Pricing
| Tier | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Custom | Custom quote | Entry tier |
Custom-quoted; user reports typical pricing $300-500/mo per company (not per-user).
MarketSharp uses custom-quoted pricing — typical for enterprise field service platforms where deployment includes data migration, training, and pricebook setup. Expect a 30-60 minute discovery call before getting a number, and the spread between quoted figures can be wide depending on your team size, vertical, and feature requirements. Always get quotes in writing and confirm what's included (number of users, integrations, support tier) before signing.

Pros
- + 35+ years of home improvement specialization
Founded 1989 — by far the longest-tenured CRM specifically for home improvement contractors. Workflow assumptions reflect three+ decades of industry refinement. Trade-specific conventions that generic CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot) require expensive customization to match are native in MarketSharp.
- + Per-company pricing (not per-user)
User-reported $300-$500 per month per company. Sales reps don't add cost. For operations with 10+ sales staff, decisively cheaper than per-seat CRM (Salesforce $75-$300/user/month). Accessible for home improvement operations that would be priced out of enterprise CRM.
- + Multi-touch follow-up sequences for remodeling sales cycles
Built-in follow-up cadences calibrated to home improvement sales cycles (which can be 2-12 weeks from initial lead to signed contract). Operations don't need to design their own follow-up sequences from scratch — proven cadences are pre-built and customizable.
- + Marketing attribution with lead-source ROI
Tracks which lead sources actually close at the company-revenue level. Google LSA vs Yelp vs Angie's List vs direct mail vs door-to-door — the platform shows which channels deliver real revenue, not just leads. Critical for home improvement operations with significant marketing spend.
- + Lead-to-sale CRM workflow depth
Designed for the structured lead-to-sale workflow: lead intake → qualification → appointment → in-home consultation → quote → close. Each stage tracked with conversion metrics and automated workflow. General CRM requires significant customization to match this workflow.
- + Industry case studies and customer base
Large user base of established home improvement operations including national franchises. Industry-specific case studies, conference presence, and consultant ecosystem familiar with MarketSharp specifically. Self-service learning ecosystem is industry-focused.
Cons
- − Not a full FSM — needs separate operations platform
MarketSharp stops at sold-job. Doesn't handle scheduling, dispatching, technician work orders, invoicing, or operations management. Requires separate FSM (ServiceTitan, FieldEdge, JobNimbus, etc.). Operations end up running two platforms — MarketSharp for sales, FSM for operations.
- − Dated UI
35+ year platform history shows in UI design. Functional but visually dated compared to modern CRM/FSM alternatives. Newer reps coming from modern tools (Salesforce, HubSpot) experience adjustment friction. UI refresh has been incremental rather than wholesale.
- − Custom-quoted pricing (opaque)
No published pricing. Sales call required for quotes. User-reported $300-$500/month range but actual quotes vary significantly by feature module selection and operation size. Comparison shopping requires committing time to multiple sales calls.
- − Expensive for the limited feature set
Lead management and CRM features only — at $300-$500/month, this is meaningful spend for what's effectively specialty CRM without operations management. Operations should genuinely have high lead volume (100+/month) to justify the cost vs general CRM + FSM bundled.
- − Limited integration ecosystem
QuickBooks and Zapier only. Operations needing CRM integration with marketing automation tools, specialty home improvement platforms, or dispatch systems depend on Zapier workflows. Significantly thinner than general FSM or modern CRM integration counts.
Implementation timeline
3–6 months for full deployment
Plan for 4-8 weeks for full deployment. MarketSharp includes dedicated implementation manager for all customers given the custom-quoted positioning. Realistic timeline for a 15-employee home improvement operation: Weeks 1-2 discovery and system configuration including lead-source mapping (Google LSA, Yelp, Angie's List, website forms, etc.), sales rep setup with role permissions, lead routing rules, and historical customer data import. Weeks 2-4 lead workflow configuration with sales stages mapped to operation's specific cycle (typically lead → qualified → appointment scheduled → in-home consultation → quote sent → sold or lost), follow-up cadence customization, and marketing attribution setup. Weeks 4-6 sales rep training on MarketSharp's CRM workflow, leadership training on attribution dashboards and KPI reporting, integration setup with QuickBooks for accounting handoff. Weeks 6-8 first leads run through MarketSharp end-to-end; operations team trained on the handoff from MarketSharp (sold job) to FSM platform (operations execution); reporting baselines established for 90-day post-launch comparison. The implementation includes change management challenges as sales reps adjust to MarketSharp's structured workflow versus less-structured spreadsheet or general CRM workflows they may have used previously. Operations that enforce MarketSharp as the source of truth for lead tracking see better adoption than operations that leave it optional.

Frequently asked questions
Is MarketSharp a full FSM platform?
No — MarketSharp is CRM and lead management specifically. It handles the lead-to-sale workflow (lead intake → CRM tracking → sold job) but doesn't handle scheduling, dispatching, technician work orders, or invoicing. Operations need separate FSM (ServiceTitan, FieldEdge, JobNimbus, Buildertrend, JobTread, etc.) for operations management. The architecture is intentionally a layered approach — MarketSharp for sales, FSM for operations.
Who is MarketSharp best for?
Home improvement contractors doing 100+ leads/month in remodeling, roofing, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, windows, siding, baths, or general contracting. Operations with significant marketing spend across multiple lead sources (Google LSA + Yelp + direct mail + lead-gen marketplaces) benefit most from the marketing attribution depth. Smaller operations under 100 leads/month or operations without significant marketing investment may find general CRM + FSM bundled features sufficient.
How does MarketSharp compare to general CRM like Salesforce or HubSpot?
MarketSharp is home improvement industry-specialized; Salesforce and HubSpot are general-purpose CRM requiring significant customization for home improvement workflows. Pricing: MarketSharp ~$300-$500/month flat per company vs Salesforce $75-$300/user/month or HubSpot $50-$3,200/month tiered. For 10+ sales rep operations, MarketSharp wins on cost. For operations needing broader CRM functionality beyond home improvement (B2B sales, complex deal structures, advanced marketing automation), Salesforce/HubSpot fit better despite higher cost.
Does MarketSharp integrate with my FSM?
Limited native integrations — QuickBooks for accounting and Zapier for custom workflow automation. Most FSM integrations go through Zapier. Operations end up with: MarketSharp tracks lead through sold job → manual or Zapier handoff to FSM (ServiceTitan, etc.) → FSM handles operations execution. The integration architecture is functional but creates friction at the sold-job handoff. Sera Systems and other modern platforms ship marketing attribution + FSM together to avoid this handoff.
What does MarketSharp cost?
Custom-quoted, no published pricing. User-reported $300-$500 per month per company for typical home improvement operations. Pricing varies by lead volume, feature module selection, and company size. Sales call required for quotes. The per-company (not per-user) pricing makes it accessible for operations with multiple sales reps versus per-seat CRM alternatives.
