Find-A-Pro vs Angi
Both are two-sided home services marketplaces, and both are free for homeowners to use. The difference is on the professional side: Angi earns most of its money selling leads and advertising to contractors, while Find-A-Pro charges a flat $5 per accepted request ($3 on the Pro Plan) and nothing when you decline.

What 10 accepted jobs cost
The same ten jobs, priced on each model. Lead platforms charge whether or not you win the work.
Where Find-A-Pro wins
- A pro who accepts 10 jobs a month pays $50 on Pay Per Request, or $40 on the Pro Plan.
- Declining a request costs nothing, so pros can be honest about which jobs fit.
- Each request goes to at most two pros, so you are not one of ten calls about the same leak.
Choose Angi instead if
- You want a national brand your lender or insurer already recognises, and that matters more to you than price.
- You are planning a large remodeling project where you want the platform to manage the whole job, not just the introduction.
