Frequently asked questions

Is there a free alternative to Angi?

Yes. Snapbid is free for homeowners — there is no membership and no charge to post a job or receive bids. Contractors pay a flat 5% only on jobs they win, instead of buying leads.

Why do contractors leave Angi and Thumbtack?

Both platforms charge per lead whether or not the contractor wins the work, and the same lead is often sold to several pros. Contractors can spend hundreds of dollars in lead fees before booking a single job, which pushes their prices up. Snapbid removes that cost by charging only on awarded jobs.

How is Snapbid different from Angi, Thumbtack, and TaskRabbit?

On Angi and Thumbtack you submit a request and pros pay to contact you, so you get calls immediately. TaskRabbit books hourly Taskers for smaller tasks. On Snapbid you post photos of the actual job, contractors bid on that scope, and your name, phone, and address stay private until you accept a bid.

Will I get spam calls if I use Snapbid?

No. Snapbid never sells or shares your contact information. Contractors bid from your photos and description, and your details are released only to the contractor whose bid you accept.

Does Snapbid vet contractors like Angi does?

Every Snapbid contractor must supply general liability insurance, pass a Checkr background check, and clear Stripe identity verification before they can be paid. Verified pros carry a gold badge on their profile.
