How we compare
National permit services cover more of the country and more history. We do one metro, every week, cheaply. Here is what we promise, and what to ask anyone else before you sign.
| Question | TradeGuild | Ask a national service |
|---|---|---|
| When it arrives | Every Monday morning, covering permits issued Monday to Sunday the week before. Each list prints its dates. | How many days old is the newest permit in this week's report? |
| Which towns | The cities and counties on this site, each named with its own page, and a plain list of the towns we don't cover yet. | Which towns in my county are in the data, and which aren't? |
| Terms | Month to month. Cancel anytime from the billing page or by replying to any list. No contract, no annual renewal. | Is there a contract, a minimum term or an automatic yearly renewal? |
| How you buy | Pick your area and trade here, see the real list, and start online. No sales call needed. | Can I see a sample for my area and trade before I talk to a salesperson? |
| Price | $99 a month for one trade in one area. $249 a month for all trades plus who's new, busier or gone quiet. | What does my county cost per month, all in? |
