Wondering if anyone uses angi leads, and has anything good to say? I'm slightly intrigued, they call me once a month and are very pushy, which makes me believe it's probably not that great. I tried searching the forum but don't see any real experiences. I truly don't need the leads, but in the future if I find myself caught up, might consider this route, I don't know.

I called them in 2020 for pricing. They explained it to me and it sounded scammy, so I told them no thanks.
They kept calling me for a year after that, even after I told them to take me off the list.

I get calls from them a few times a month and always regret answering once I realize who's calling. Have done work through Handy app in the past and seems they got bought up by Angi or whatever company they are now.
You can probably get clients from them but it'll probably not be worth the hassle - my two cents. I'd steer clear and seems that's a common consensus from others

Those guys drive me crazy. They won’t stop calling me even after I asked to go on the do not call list.
While purchasing a sink online recently, a popup for Angi asked if I'd like to have the kitchen undermount sink installed for $297.00. I could specify a time within a given range and then done deal.
I cannot figure how a licensed and insured plumber can replace an undermount sink, plumbing included, for $268.00 (Angi has to take her cut). My guys are experts, we do this constantly, and on a good day could get two of these jobs done with drive time between included. How are you sending a $30.00-an-hour guy in a truck burning $4.00-a-gallon fuel and $14.00 a day in insurance, worker's comp, blah, blah, blah, for the opportunity to gross $536.00?
I have to charge 5x as much to stay in business and make a reasonable profit. Do the guys who sign up for Angi not do math?

I did a long time ago and it was a waste of time for me. They still call and I still tell them I am not interested...
I hired a marketing girl that I pay a flat fee every month and I am very happy with her services.

So, last year I decided to check on my free listing on angi. I requested an estimate from myself. I received 3 calls from competitors and never personally received a notification. Royally pissed me off that they were using my reputation to sell leads and then making it seem like I did not contact the client. I called the rep and told them to remove all my information from Angi. What does the rep do????? he keeps my listing and marks me as no longer in business.
Don't use it. They are terrible and ridiculously overpriced. Not to mention the insane high pressure sales tactics that make me want to delete my phone number. Thumbtack is a little better, but not as many leads. If you really want to Ramp your business focus on getting more google reviews which will boost you in the organic search rankings. Also make sure you have a clear process for converting prospects when they come to your site.

Angi Leads is totally a scam. Contractors these type of companies will leach off of you and kill your profit margins. I've made the mistake of working with them recently and truly regret it. The leads they send to install a light switch or troubleshoot a fixture are $75. Now if you run a respectable business and don't create work that's not there in order to uncharge you customer needlessly then you will likely barely make anything on a job like this. So Angi has wedged itself between you and your customer and you're paying them to do it. As you probably are aware of Google and Yelp is already doing that to us so why give more of your profits to these scammers.

Complete scam!!!! They charge $25-$65 for these fake leads claiming some of them are ready for work immediately. These so called leads have bad numbers, never respond, some ask for services you don’t even offer. I really believe they create the fake leads and steal your money!!! You have to waste time and call them to request credits for all of the spam calls. Once you get sick of that and you ask for a refund , they will tell you about some imaginary loop hole in the contract you sign with them that says if you don’t call a lead within 5 minutes you have violated the terms of the contract and no longer can get a refund. In summary, they charge you for spam leads, and then when you don’t respond to those Spam leads in five minutes you somehow are no longer applicable for refund. They spend the first 20 to 30 minutes of the sales call repeatedly telling you that you will get your money back if you don’t like the service, No questions asked. To turn around and do the complete opposite after they have your money.
I know it's an older thread but I gotta say, back in the day the ROI for Angie's List was at least 600% better than any other marketing we did. I wasn't the only one who had great experiences with them either, but those days are long gone.
I remember making a post on PaintTalk back in 2016 when they did their first major restructure for the worse regarding no longer charging membership fees for people to use their service. The only great selling point back then was that you could usually trust the reviews, since members paid to be there and the services they used were confirmed. As soon as they opened the gates, it watered down all the good reviews, inflated all the sketchy ones, and reviews couldn't be trusted. Not only that, but the revenue lost from not charging a basic user fee had to made up somewhere, and they did so primarily out of the pockets of the Contractors who paid to advertise with them. I never advertised with them again, and since not paying, I don't think I've gotten a single job from someone finding me there. They've continued to spiral down the toilet ever since.
