They answer different questions. LeadLocate answers “where do I get more people to call this month?” Dealer Duo answers “how do the people who find me become mine, and how do I keep up with them?” Here is each one, as its own site describes it.

When LeadLocate makes sense
You have the budget for a monthly feed, the discipline to call every lead inside a few minutes, and a slow month to fill. The leads are exclusive to you, in your zone, and the site and CRM come along. Nothing about it builds a book you keep after the subscription ends.
When Dealer Duo makes sense
You want the people who find you, from a post, a card, a referral, or a search, to land with you and stay with you: a page with the whole lot, a number that is yours, one inbox, and follow-up that runs itself. Buy a feed from anyone, or never. The page is still yours.
Questions
- Does Dealer Duo sell car sales leads?
- No. Dealer Duo gives a sales associate the page, the number, the inbox, and the follow-up, and the leads are the people who find that page: from posts, cards, referrals, and search. LeadLocate sells a monthly feed of leads and includes a site and a CRM with it.
- How much does LeadLocate cost for a salesperson?
- Its pricing page lists Inbound Leads from $799 a month for a stated 40 to 60 leads, Acquisitions from $999 a month, and Hybrid from $1,599 a month, each month to month with extra users at $99 a month and no free trial. Lead counts are described as not guaranteed.
- Can I use both?
- Yes. A salesperson who buys a feed still needs a page that is theirs to point those leads and everyone else at, and a number and inbox that keep the thread. Dealer Duo does that part; the feed can come from anywhere.
- Which one is better for a new car salesperson?
- Start with the page and the habits: fast replies, a same-day thank-you, a follow-up cadence. Those cost nothing and compound. Add a paid feed later if a slow month needs filling and the budget is there.
