Bid Capsule · Free to join

Bid on leads, traffic and ad inventory.

Bid Capsule is a two-sided marketplace running on the Lead Capsule and Offer Capsule engines. Sellers publish inventory and the price they will accept; buyers place bids. A proxy auction settles every unit at the clearing price, and delivery, verification, billing and payouts run on the platform underneath.

Free to sign up as a buyer, a seller, or both. If we cannot fill your bid in the window you set, your deposit comes back.

Two sides, one marketplace

Built for buyers and sellers alike

One free account covers both roles. Pick what you want to buy, what you want to sell, and in which verticals and traffic types; the portal shows you only the surfaces your choices unlock.

For Buyers

Place a bid, let the auction settle it

You set the most you will pay per lead or per event. The proxy auction settles at the clearing price, so a winning bid is charged what it took to win rather than the maximum you were willing to pay.

  • Bid by vertical, geography and filter, on leads and on traffic
  • Choose your exclusivity tier, from fully exclusive down to shared
  • Set lead age windows and hourly, daily, weekly and monthly caps
  • Fund at bid or fund later; delivery starts when the balance is there
  • Buy aged data from our lead store at published price points, deduped against what you own

For Sellers & Vendors

Publish your price, let buyers compete

Your floor is the price you will accept, not the price you get. Two buyers auto-bidding against each other lift a $10 floor toward their ceilings without you doing anything. Publishing also provisions your delivery campaign, so inventory starts matching as soon as it is live.

  • You set the price, and how many times we may sell each lead
  • Publishing provisions your posting campaign; no integration project
  • Keep earning after the exclusivity window lapses, on a revenue share
  • Sell traffic as ad slots: drop in a tag and the auction serves it
  • Payouts on a set weekly schedule once the escrow window clears

How it works

Sign up free, then bid or publish

Registration asks what you want to do, in which verticals and traffic types, and unlocks only those surfaces. From there a guided wizard takes you to a live bid or a published listing.

1

Register, free

Pick buyer, seller or both. Say whether you are trading leads, traffic or both, and in which verticals and traffic types. Verify by email and set a password. There is no signup charge and no membership fee.

2

Bid or publish

Buyers work a wizard from definition through delivery, notifications, limits and funding. Sellers go from definition through delivery or ad slot targeting to payout. Both end with something live, not a draft.

3

The auction settles

A proxy auction matches bids to inventory and settles at the clearing price, so the winner pays what it took to win rather than their maximum. Change a bid and every affected match re-settles.

4

Deliver, bill, pay out

Delivery runs on the Lead Capsule engine. Buyers are charged at the clearing price; sellers receive the clearing price less the processing margin, released after the escrow window on a set payout day.

Platform

A marketplace on top of a 14-year platform

Bid Capsule adds the auction, the matching and the settlement. Everything under it, delivery, verification, consent, portals, billing and reporting, is Lead Capsule and Offer Capsule doing what they have done since 2012.

The engine

Proxy Auction with Clearing Price

Buyers enter the most they will pay, not what they expect to pay. The auction settles at the clearing price, so a winner is charged what it took to beat the next bid. Change a bid and every match it touches re-settles immediately, before the next lead arrives.

Exclusivity Tiers

The vendor declares two things: how many companies will hold the lead in total, and how many of those sales are ours to make. A semi exclusive lead may be capped at one sale here, with the vendor placing the other two with their own buyers. Buyers see the true tier, not just our share of it, and the platform enforces the cap rather than promising it.

Age Windows and Caps

Buy real-time only, or set minimum and maximum lead age in minutes or days to target aged inventory precisely. Cap volume hourly, daily, weekly and monthly, and spend on the same periods, so a good day never drains a balance faster than you meant it to.

Traffic and Ad Auction

Pre-roll, mid-roll and post-roll video, banners across the standard sizes, and text links. Publishers create a slot and drop in a tag, in script, JSON or VAST, and every impression runs its own auction. Billing follows the offer type, CPM on the impression and CPC on the click, with CPA and CPL available too, and the winning advertiser's prepaid balance draws down automatically.

The Aged Lead Store

Vendors upload aged and unsold data they are holding, and leads sold through the auction join it automatically once their exclusivity window lapses. Both earn a revenue share with nothing to re-list or re-price. We set the price points, banded by vertical, times sold and data age, so older and more-worked records are not lumped in with fresher ones.

PingPickPost & One-to-One Consent

Ping multiple buyers, let the consumer pick who may contact them, then post to that buyer only. Consent and delivery name the same company by construction rather than by paperwork afterwards.

Call Transfers

Inbound calls trade like any other inventory. Route a caller through a scripted IVR, collect digits, record the call, enforce a minimum duration to qualify the transfer, then dial the winning buyer. Sold on the same auction and settled on the same ledger.

CRM Seats

No CRM? Not a reason to stay out of the market. Choose Lead Capsule CRM as your delivery method and funding your first bid provisions you a seat free, with leads routed straight to you as the named agent. Teams working leads in house can add more, at a per-seat price that steps down as the desk grows.

Transparent Fee, Escrow and Payouts

The buy side is prepaid throughout: no invoicing, no net terms, no credit. A bid runs on its funded balance and stops when it is spent. Sellers are paid the clearing price less the processing margin, released after the escrow window on a set payout day each week. So sellers are only ever delivering to buyers whose money is already on the platform. The processing margin sits inside the bid but is published, not hidden, and Lead Capsule and Offer Capsule customers trade at a lower rate.

One Portal, Every Role

Client, vendor, affiliate and advertiser used to mean four separate portals. The Partner Portal shows whichever of those apply to you in one place, with a dashboard of KPI tiles you choose, drag into order and keep.

Your safety net

Filled or Refunded

Prepaying into a marketplace is only reasonable if the money comes back when the market cannot deliver. Set a window when you fund a bid, from three days upward. If we have not found you a seller by the end of it, your deposit is returned automatically. You do not have to ask, and you do not have to argue.

Told When Your Market Moves

We ask which verticals and traffic types you work in for a reason. When a new seller starts publishing in a vertical you buy, or a new buyer starts bidding in one you sell, you hear about it. In a market that is still filling out, knowing the moment your counterparty arrives is worth more than any dashboard.

Alerts and Lead Returns

You are told when it matters: outbid, auto-bid escalated, cap reached, funding running low, lead delivered. And when a lead is genuinely bad, the buyer returns it and the seller accepts or declines, with both sides notified. A disagreement is a process here, not a phone call.

Verification Before Sale

Phone, email, address and IP checks run through Targus, eBureau and Xverify before inventory routes, so buyers bid on records that have already been checked and sellers are not defending unverified data after the sale.

Bid Capsule runs on Lead Capsule, which is rated 4.6 out of 5 on Capterra across 30 verified customer reviews from lead generation companies, affiliate networks and enterprise buyers running live traffic every day.
