For contractors comparing lead sources
The HomeAdvisor Alternative Where Leads Are Actually Yours
HomeAdvisor merged into Angi Leads, but the model contractors complain about didn’t change: pay per lead, share the lead with competitors, fight for refunds when the number is dead. BellAveGo works the opposite way — we monitor public permit and code-enforcement records nightly, skip-trace the homeowner’s phone, and give the lead to exactly one contractor.
Then 3 days free, $29/week flat. Cancel anytime. One contractor per zip.
Why contractors look for HomeAdvisor alternatives
- ✕Per-lead charges add up fast — many contractors report $300–$1,500+/mo bills with no closed jobs
- ✕Leads commonly shared with several contractors simultaneously
- ✕Refund/credit process for bad leads is widely reported as slow and adversarial
- ✕Annual membership fee on top of per-lead spend
Based on commonly reported contractor experiences across public reviews and trade forums.

Frequently asked questions
Is BellAveGo cheaper than HomeAdvisor?
For most trades, yes: $29/week flat works out to roughly $2.90 per exclusive lead. HomeAdvisor-style pay-per-lead pricing commonly runs $15–$100+ per SHARED lead plus an annual fee.
Where do the leads come from?
Public records: building permits, code-enforcement violations, hearing/fine records, storm data, and recent home sales. Every lead is a real address with a documented reason to need work.
What trades do you cover?
House cleaning and exterior painting. Those two only — one company per trade, per zip, in any US zip code. We would rather be the exclusive cleaning or painting lead source in your area than a directory for every trade.
