wins 4 of 12 vendor rows

Window Genie is the stronger opportunity right now, and it’s not close. The dimension that wins is TAM. With 103 franchised units versus 76 Fence’s single operating franchise, you’re selling into a real installed base, not a hypothetical one. A 103-unit chain gives you repeatable deal motion, references, and the chance to land a multi-unit operator who can pull through additional locations. 76 Fence’s massive AUV ($1.54M) looks attractive on a per-site budget basis, but budget without scale is a consulting gig, not a software business.

The meaningful tradeoff is budget versus terrain. 76 Fence operators have deeper pockets and more complex operations—higher transaction volume, more staff, more scheduling chaos—which means a fatter per-seat contract if you can close. But the procurement model is franchisor-controlled, so you’re selling into a gatekeeper who may mandate a stack you can’t displace. Window Genie’s approved-supplier model is open terrain: you sell the franchisee directly, and the franchisor’s looser grip means faster sales cycles and less political friction. Lower AUV ($475K) means smaller initial deals, but you can land and expand across dozens of owners who actually control their own tech decisions.

Timing seals it. Window Genie’s FDD is current (2026), signaling an active, compliant franchisor with ongoing unit operations. 76 Fence’s filing is marked DUE—a stale, potentially non-compliant FDD that raises red flags about corporate follow-through. Selling into a brand that can’t keep its legal house in order is a distraction you don’t need.

Verdict: Window Genie wins on TAM, open terrain, and operational readiness—start there.
