Free to you, on both brands
Angi Inc. says matching and directory access are free to consumers once registered. One policy, both sites.
Choosing how to hire
Looking for a HomeAdvisor alternative in Scranton?
Before anything else, one fact that is easy to miss and worth knowing. HomeAdvisor and Angi are not two independent companies. They are two brands of the same business.
Straight up
What the Angi group does well.
This section covers HomeAdvisor and Angi together, because they are one company. That is the whole point of this page.
One screening standard
Because it is a single company, the approval rules do not differ between the two. Pros generally need a 3.5 rating or better, owners pass background checks, and licensing is attested.
The scale is real
Around 16 million projects ran through the group's platforms in the twelve months to the end of 2025. For an unusual trade at short notice, that reach matters.
No obligation either way
You are not required to hire anyone either brand refers to you.
In their words
One company, three brands.
We own and operate three of the leading home services brands in the United States (Angi, Angie's List and HomeAdvisor)
The company was formed in 2017 by combining IAC's HomeAdvisor business with Angie's List. It renamed itself Angi Inc. in 2021.
So filling in the form on HomeAdvisor and then filling in the form on Angi is not a second opinion.
It is the same company, twice.
Why that fact is the useful one.
Most people comparing home services sites assume they are sampling different pools of contractors. For these two brands, that assumption does not hold.
It does not make either one bad. It just means the comparison you thought you were running is not the one that happened.
If you want a genuinely separate option, it has to come from outside that group. That is the only claim this page is making.
