{{ _BRAND }} VS. ANGI
Angi notifies 10–20 contractors the second a lead comes in. Every one of them calls the same homeowner simultaneously. {{ _brand }} sends each lead to exactly 3 matched pros, and stops there.
Lead flooding isn't a feature, it's a flaw
When 15 contractors all call the same homeowner within 5 minutes, the customer feels harassed, stops answering, and the lead dies. {{ _brand }} caps competition at 3 so every provider gets a real shot and every customer gets a real conversation.
3 slots. Never 15.
Your win rate stays at 33%.

15 calls in 5 minutes
The industry calls it 'speed-to-lead.' What it actually creates is homeowners being bombarded by 15 unknown numbers simultaneously. Most stop answering after the third call. {{ _brand }} limits competition structurally so your call is one of three, not one of fifteen.
Lead recycling is real
HomeAdvisor (now Angi) has faced class-action lawsuits over re-selling leads. A lead you paid for may have been paid for by 5 other contractors on previous days. Every {{ _brand }} lead is fresh, tracked, and closed once all 3 slots are filled.
Only real reviews count
Angi allows reviews from anyone, not just verified customers. {{ _brand }} reviews are generated only from confirmed, job-matched customers, creating an authentic trust signal that Google and AI systems can verify.

Yes. There are no membership fees. Free-plan contractors receive all matched leads at no cost and pay a $50 fee only after confirming a completed job. Pro plans ($49–$499/mo) replace the fee with monthly claim credits.
Receiving means {{ _brand }} notified you, you can read the job brief, see the city, and view the AI-generated contractor summary. Claiming means you unlock full contact info and enter the private messaging hub. Free accounts pay $50 on the claim.
Not directly, but you can link your Angi profile URL in your {{ _brand }} trust score listing verification, it contributes points to your trust score (+7) and shows customers your review history.
Free-plan contractors won't be charged on a disputed lead. Pro plan holders have a formal dispute process. In either case, the $50 is never charged until job completion is confirmed.
Matching is live across all 50 states. If there are fewer than 3 local providers in your city, the system uses statewide fallback matching so the customer still gets covered, and you may receive leads from nearby cities outside your primary radius.
