Looking for a Angi alternative?

Plenty of good companies advertise on Angi and do fine. But if the shared-lead treadmill isn't working for you, here's an honest look at how HomeAnswer is different — and where each model fits.

How Angi generally works

Subscription advertising (Angi Ads) plus pay-per-lead (Angi Leads). Leads are commonly shared with multiple pros, and advertising plans involve recurring fees and terms.

  • Shared leads mean racing other companies to dial first
  • Recurring advertising fees whether or not the month produced jobs
  • Pricing typically quoted on a sales call, not published

Based on publicly described models and common contractor feedback; check current terms directly — they can change.

How HomeAnswer works

Homeowners come to us researching a real project — what it costs, what to do. As territories open, HomeAnswer is designed to route each request to one available pro.

  • Exclusive routing model — not a shared-lead race
  • No card required to check territory availability
  • Paid delivery only after the trade, territory, rate, and cap are approved
  • Wrong-trade, duplicate, vendor, and out-of-area rules should be clear before launch
  • Weekly budget cap and pause rules before a paid test starts

Run us side by side.

Most pros don't switch overnight — they test. Check whether your trade and area are open or on the next-priority list before any paid delivery starts.
