Both help contractors find work. The difference is the starting point: Leads CA is a low-cost, self-serve call list built around issued permits and public project records; ConstructConnect is a broader commercial preconstruction and bid-intelligence platform.
ConstructConnect pricing and plan details checked against its official pricing page. Prices can change.
Choose the workflow, not the biggest feature list. ConstructConnect is compelling when your team needs commercial bid documents, planholders and planning projects. Leads CA is built for the contractor who wants an affordable list of jobs to qualify and call today.

Green Sheet and Yellow Sheet are useful regional benchmarks, especially if your territory is Western BC or Vancouver Island. They are not the same product shape as Leads CA.
Green Sheet sells selectable zones and components covering building permits, new projects, pre-bids, tenders and project updates. Its official signup page lists $810 CAD for the first component plus $200 for each additional, paid annually, with whole-team access and no per-user fees.
Yellow Sheet covers Island permits, projects, tenders and bid results. Its published rates list $699 per semiannual period for building permits, $899 for projects/tenders/bid results, or $1,199 for the bundle, with regional options and Excel/CSV exports.
Not for every workflow. If you need complete bid documents, planholders and early commercial project intelligence, ConstructConnect is the more specialized product. Leads CA is the simpler fit when you want permit-led prospecting at a lower monthly cost.
