Metadata tools map and document your Salesforce org. A routing check does a narrower job. It follows leads through the rules and counts where they end up. They answer different questions, and some teams use both. Figures below come from the vendor or a price tracker, as dated. Check them again before you buy.

What a routing check adds
- It counts the leads. A metadata tool can show a rule exists. It cannot show where the leads went.
- It reruns every night, so a change that breaks routing is caught that night.
- A fix is marked fixed only when the same check passes on the same data.
Questions to ask before you sign
- Does it read records, or only metadata?
- Which permissions does it need, and which can change your org?
- What does it cost at your user count, in writing?
- Can it tell you where last month's leads actually went?
