Frequently asked questions

What is WalkLists?

WalkLists is a field-operations platform for door-to-door teams — political canvassing and field sales (roofing, solar, insurance). One app generates optimized walk routes, runs the field experience (GPS knock logging, live maps, offline), and enriches every door with property and voter data via CSV2Geo.

How is WalkLists different from SalesRabbit or SPOTIO?

WalkLists is multi-vertical from one codebase, includes data enrichment (homeowner, property, storm, vote history) that competitors charge extra for, and ships capabilities no competitor has — live pair coordination, a 5-algorithm walking picker, barrier-aware routing, and Pocket Mode — typically at 50–70% lower price.

Does WalkLists work for both political canvassing and door-to-door sales?

Yes. WalkLists is config-driven across political, roofing, solar, and insurance verticals from a single app — most competitors are single-vertical.

Does WalkLists work offline?

Yes. Knocks are logged to a secure on-device queue and synced when connectivity returns, and turf map tiles can be pre-downloaded for dead zones — built so nothing is lost mid-shift.

How much does WalkLists cost compared to competitors?

WalkLists is typically 50–70% cheaper than premium tools, which commonly run $39–$129 per user per month, and includes data enrichment that competitors sell as paid add-ons.

What data does WalkLists provide at each door?

Through CSV2Geo's 1000+ endpoints, WalkLists surfaces homeowner and property data, AVM, storm/hail risk, roof measurements, demographics, and (for political) vote history — one-tap, across every vertical.
