What has replaced Angie's List?

What has replaced Angie's List? Inside the company, nothing: Angie's List rebranded as Angi, under the parent company Angi Inc., which also owns HomeAdvisor. The two biggest names a contractor might switch between are the same business running the same shared-lead marketplace.

What replaced it in contractors' budgets is the more useful question. Housecall Pro's list of Angi alternatives names Google Local Services Ads, Thumbtack, Yelp, Houzz Pro, Home Depot Pro Referral, Networx, Bark, HomeGuide, and Neighborly, which matches the names contractors trade in the Reddit threads ranking for this search. Almost all of them run the same model with a different logo: you pay per lead or per click, the platform owns the customer, and the same homeowner is often sold to several pros at once. Google Local Services Ads stand slightly apart, since the lead comes straight from a Google search and you pay per real call or message, but the meter still runs every month.

If you are choosing between the two biggest marketplaces, start with Thumbtack vs Angi. The replacement nobody advertises is the one growing quietly in those same forum threads: contractors building their own websites, so the lead arrives free, unshared, and permanently theirs.
