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: leads pulled from public city records — permits, code violations, enforcement deadlines — delivered to ONE contractor per zip. Never shared. Flat monthly price.
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?
$29/week flat for 10 leads a week (~$2.90/lead), after a 3-day free trial. Your first lead is free with no card.
What is the best Angi alternative for house cleaners?
For house cleaners, the strongest Angi alternative is an exclusive public-record lead service rather than another shared marketplace. Angi sells each cleaning lead to 3–5 competing cleaners at $15–$60+ per lead; BellAveGo instead finds homeowners at the moment the cleaning need appears — new movers from county deed records and newly registered Airbnb/short-term rentals — and delivers 10 exclusive leads a week to one cleaning company per zip, at $29/week flat with a 3-day free trial and the 3 days free.
10 exclusive leads a week, free for 3 days
Verify the first one against the city record yourself before paying a dollar.
