For contractors comparing lead sources
The Angi Alternative Built for Contractors Who Hate Shared Leads
Angi Leads (formerly HomeAdvisor) sells the same homeowner inquiry to multiple contractors, charges per lead whether you close or not, and getting credits back for junk leads is a fight. If that’s why you’re searching for alternatives, here’s a different model entirely: a short-term rental owner who has told us they need a turnover cleaner, sold to ONE cleaning company and then taken off the board. Never shared. $99-$199 once, and refunded in full if that host never replies to you.
Then 3 days free, $29/week flat. Cancel anytime. One contractor per zip.
Why contractors look for Angi (Angie’s List) alternatives
- ✕Same lead commonly sold to multiple competing contractors — you’re racing 3-4 other shops to the phone
- ✕Pay-per-lead fees ($15–$100+ depending on trade) charged whether or not the homeowner ever answers
- ✕Contractors widely report lead-credit disputes when the lead is unreachable or bogus
- ✕Homeowner submitted a form once — by the time you call, they’ve been called 5 times and are annoyed
Based on commonly reported contractor experiences across public reviews and trade forums.

Frequently asked questions
Why are BellAveGo leads exclusive when Angi leads are shared?
We pull leads from public city records (permits, code violations, hearings) and assign each one to a single contractor per zip and trade. Once your zip is claimed, no competitor on our platform gets those leads.
Are public-records leads as good as form-fill leads?
Different, and often better: a homeowner cited by the city with a fine deadline is FORCED to hire someone — they’re not price-shopping five quotes. You’re first to call instead of fifth.
What does it cost?
$99-$199 for one host, charged once by bedroom count. Browsing the open hosts is free with no card and no account, and if a host never replies to you the purchase is refunded in full.
What is the best Angi alternative for house cleaners?
For house cleaners, the strongest Angi alternative is a lead that was sold once rather than another shared marketplace. Angi sells each cleaning lead to 3–5 competing cleaners at $15–$60+ per lead; BellAveGo asks brand-new short-term rental owners whether they have a turnover cleaner lined up, and sells each owner who says no to a single cleaning company for $99-$199, charged once — refunded if that host never replies.
