Angi vs Thumbtack.
Which one pays?

Pick on cost per booked job, not cost per lead. If a $60 lead books 10% of the time, a job costs $600. If a $90 lead books 20% of the time, it costs $450.

How it charges

What it costs

Neither one publishes a lead price list in the pages we opened, so this comparison rests on how each one bills, not on a price.

Refunds and credits

Exclusive or shared

  • On Angi one request can go to several pros: its FAQ says it connects customers with multiple service professionals.

Who runs it

Your numbers.

The calculator opens at 20 leads. Run it twice: once with what 20 Angi leads cost you, once with what 20 Thumbtack leads cost you, keeping the rest the same.

Other sources.

If neither one clears your numbers, run the same test on Google’s pay-per-lead ads, which bill for valid leads and credit low quality ones automatically.

Your questions

Which one is cheaper for a pro?

Neither publishes a price list we could open. Your own invoices are the only fair comparison, so run each source through the calculator.

Which one gives more control over spend?

Thumbtack sets a price per lead and a weekly limit. Angi’s annual report describes full-priced leads within a monthly budget, and its FAQ says fees differ by job size.

Can I use both?

Yes, as long as you track them apart. Mixed numbers hide the one that loses money, so keep a separate line for each.
