What's in the report
The PDF every broker should read before signing a lead-vendor contract.
If you've ever wondered whether €4.20 per lead is a fair price for a verified forex lead in Germany, or whether €6.00 is too much for a Brazilian crypto lead, this report answers those questions with real, current data — not vendor marketing copy.
We collected per-lead price quotes from 47 lead vendors between October 2025 and January 2026, using a brokerage shell company with a registered domain so the quotes we received are the same quotes any first-time broker buyer would receive. We did not negotiate. We did not reveal our identity as ForexBrokerLead. The result is a 38-page benchmark document with median prices, 25th and 75th percentile prices, and per-region breakdowns for EU, LATAM, Nordic, GCC, and Asia-Pacific markets, across forex, crypto, CFD, casino, and depositor lead types.
Beyond the raw pricing data, the report includes a GDPR compliance checklist that lists the exact data fields your DPO should require from any lead vendor — including the four fields that are non-negotiable and the three fields that are nice-to-have. It also includes the 12 questions to ask before signing a lead-vendor contract, drawn from our 8 years of experience on both sides of the broker-vendor table. The 12 questions are designed to surface the vendors that are bluffing about their verification process, and the answers you receive will tell you within one phone call whether to walk away.
The report is not a ForexBrokerLead sales document. ForexBrokerLead is mentioned in the report exactly once, in the methodology section, where we explain that our prices are included in the 47-vendor sample. Beyond that, the report is a vendor-agnostic benchmark — we name the 47 vendors in the appendix, but we do not rank them, and we do not promote ForexBrokerLead over any of them. If the data shows that another vendor has better prices than us on a specific lead type in a specific region, that is what we publish. Read the report, do your own due diligence, and if you decide ForexBrokerLead is the right partner for your next acquisition cycle, we'll be here. If not, you'll have the pricing benchmark you needed anyway.

What's inside
Eight chapters, 38 pages, one download
Everything a broker's acquisition team needs to evaluate lead-vendor pricing in 2026 — and to walk away from vendors whose prices don't match their quality.
1. Per-lead median & percentile prices
Median, 25th-percentile, and 75th-percentile per-lead prices for forex, crypto, CFD, casino, and depositor lead types across EU, LATAM, Nordic, GCC, and Asia-Pacific regions. Real numbers from 47 vendors, not vendor marketing copy.
2. Price-per-funded-account analysis
Per-lead price is meaningless without conversion context. We pair each vendor's per-lead price with the conversion rate the vendor claimed (or that we measured in our own internal tests) and compute the true cost-per-funded-account.
3. GDPR compliance checklist
The 4 non-negotiable data fields your DPO should require from any EU-sourced lead vendor (consent timestamp, source URL, IP at opt-in, form version), plus the 3 nice-to-have fields that distinguish a Tier-1 vendor from a Tier-2 vendor.
4. 12 questions to ask before signing
The 12 questions that surface a bluffing vendor within one phone call. Designed by ex-affiliate-network operators who know exactly which answers indicate a real verification process and which answers indicate marketing copy.
5. 7 red flags to walk away from
The 7 vendor behaviours that — in our 8 years of experience on both sides of the broker-vendor table — reliably predict a bad outcome. If you see any of these during vendor evaluation, walk away, even if the price looks attractive.
6. 4 contract clauses that protect you
The 4 contract clauses every broker-vendor MSA should include — including the replacement SLA clause, the audit-rights clause, the data-residency clause, and the right-to-terminate-for-quality-breach clause. With sample language you can paste into your own MSA template.
7. Regional pricing breakdown
Per-region breakdown showing where prices are highest (Nordic and GCC) and lowest (LATAM and Asia-Pacific), with an explanation of why — driven by first-deposit size, regulatory friction, and supply-demand balance in each region.
8. Appendix: the 47 vendors named
An appendix naming all 47 vendors whose prices appear in the benchmark, with the date of price collection, the lead type requested, and the per-lead quote received. No vendor rankings, no ForexBrokerLead self-promotion — just the data.
Who this is for
Brokers in EU, LATAM, Nordic, GCC, and Scandinavia
If you are an acquisition-side decision-maker at a regulated brokerage, exchange, or gaming operator, the report is for you — regardless of whether you've bought leads before.
EU brokers — Brokers regulated under MiFID II (CySEC, BaFin, FCA, AMF, CONSOB, AFM) will find the GDPR compliance checklist the most actionable chapter. EU brokers are also the audience for whom the per-region pricing breakdown matters most, because EU per-lead prices are 30-50% higher than LATAM per-lead prices — and the report explains exactly why that premium exists and whether it is worth paying.
LATAM brokers — Brokers operating under CVM (Brazil), CNV (Argentina), SMV (Peru), and other LATAM regulators will find the price-per-funded-account chapter most useful, because LATAM per-lead prices are low but LATAM per-funded-account economics can still be unfavourable if conversion rates disappoint. The report includes a specific LATAM case study on the impact of PIX instant payments on conversion.
Nordic brokers — Brokers regulated under Finansinspektionen (Sweden), Finanstilsynet (Denmark and Norway), and Finanssivalvonta (Finland) will find the per-region breakdown most useful — Nordic per-lead prices are the highest in our benchmark, but Nordic first-deposit sizes are also the highest, and the report shows the conversion math that makes Nordic acquisition economically workable.
GCC brokers — Brokers regulated under DFSA (Dubai), ADGM (Abu Dhabi), CMA (Saudi Arabia), and QFC (Qatar) will find the contract clauses chapter most useful, because GCC broker-vendor MSAs are often weaker on data-residency and audit-rights clauses than their EU equivalents — and the report explains what to insist on.
Scandinavian brokers (overlap with Nordic above) and Asia-Pacific brokers (regulated under ASIC, FMA, MAS, and similar) will find the regional pricing breakdown useful for benchmarking their local vendor prices against the global median.

What brokers are saying
Two brokers who used the 2025 edition
The 2026 edition builds on the 2025 edition, which was downloaded by 2,400+ broker-side acquisition leads. Two of them sent us unsolicited feedback — reproduced here with permission.
"The 2025 benchmark report was the reason we asked our previous lead vendor to renegotiate our contract. We were paying €6.40 per lead when the 75th-percentile was €4.80. When we showed them the report, they matched it within a week. The report paid for itself 100x over on the first contract renegotiation."
"I'd been buying leads for six years and I still didn't know whether €4.20 was a fair price for a Brazilian forex lead. The 2025 report told me it was — and it told me which contract clauses to insist on with my next vendor. I downloaded it expecting marketing fluff and got genuine research instead. I've recommended it to every acquisition lead I know."
FAQ
Questions about the report
The five questions we get asked most often before brokers download the report.
Yes. The PDF is free. You enter your work email, we send you a download link, and that's it. There is no credit card, no trial, and no auto-billing. We produce the report because we believe brokers who understand real lead-pricing benchmarks are more likely to become ForexBrokerLead customers — but the report itself is genuinely free, and you can read it and decide to never contact us, and that is fine.
We collected real per-lead price quotes from 47 distinct lead vendors — a mix of large marketplaces, mid-size specialists, and small regional providers — between October 2025 and January 2026. We disguised our identity during the price-collection process (using a brokerage shell company with a registered domain) so the quotes we received are the same quotes any first-time broker buyer would receive. We did not negotiate. The 47-vendor sample is large enough to give you a realistic median and range per lead type and per region.
No. We will send you the download link immediately. We will send you one follow-up email 3 days later asking whether the report was useful. If you reply 'no' or do not reply at all, you will not receive any further emails from us. If you reply 'yes', we will ask whether you'd like a 25-lead free demo — and if you say no, that's the end of it. There is no monthly newsletter signup, no automated drip sequence, and no third-party data sharing.
