How Much Does Angi Charge Contractors Per Lead?

Does Angi publish a price per lead?

No. Angi's pro help center answers the question directly: "How much do leads cost? Lead fees change based on task, homeowner location, and demand for the work. These factors help us match the value of the lead with the price" (Angi Pro help). There is no rate card by trade, and the price you see sits inside your account or comes from a sales rep. That is why every number below is labeled with who reported it.

How does Angi bill contractors?

Angi offers pay-per-lead billing and subscriptions that prepay for leads. Manually accepted Opportunities can create additional charges outside the monthly budget.

• Pay-per-lead. You set a monthly budget and are billed weekly. Angi's example: with a $500 budget and $480 of lead value received, you can still get one more $40 lead, for a $520 month. The budget is a target, not a hard cap (Angi billing FAQ).
• Subscription. An automatically renewing, fixed-term prepay for leads in exchange for a discount. Term length and any early termination fee are set in your signed contract, not on a public page. Angi may raise the fee up to 10% at renewal, and you must give notice before the new term starts to stop it (Angi Pro Agreement).

You are charged "as soon as both you and the homeowner show interest in connecting with each other," and "whether or not you open or respond to them." Each request goes to no more than five pros, so a lead you paid for can be shared with four competitors.

What do contractors actually report paying per Angi lead?

Here is every figure we found, ranked by how much you can trust it. Only the first two come from Angi or a regulator. The $650 contract is a May 2024 advertising agreement, not a current per-lead quote.

Notice the gap: no source gives a clean per-lead price for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, painting or landscaping. For those trades the honest answer is "check your own account."

What happens when an Angi lead is bad?

Lead credits must be requested within 30 days and come back as store credit that expires in six months. Angi says these situations are "accounted for in our lead pricing and therefore not eligible for lead credits": the consumer is not calling you back, already found someone, changed their mind, is "just shopping," or you did not win the job (lead credit guidelines). In practice, you can pay for a lead that never answers the phone.

What does it cost to leave an Angi contract?

The early termination fee, if your contract has one, is not published. The public agreement says "in the event of termination of this Agreement, you shall not be entitled to any refund of any fees paid to us, including any prepayments." Cancel by calling Customer Care. Ask for the fee amount, the renewal date and the notice deadline in writing before you sign, not after.

How does Angi compare to Google Local Services Ads on cost per lead?

Local Services Ads are the cleanest comparison because we have our own billing data. Across four BaaDigi client LSA accounts from June 11 to October 12, 2026, Google charged $40,876.82 for 890 charged leads out of 1,110 total, or $45.93 per charged lead. One electrical account made up 83% of that spend, so treat it as one operator's result, not a trade average. The difference that matters is structure: an LSA lead contacts you directly, while an Angi lead can be one of five paid contacts.

One more caution on the table above: several of these are single-contractor stories. They show what can happen, not what will happen to you. The useful move is to treat Angi like any other vendor and ask for your own numbers: the price of your last 20 leads, how many were shared, and how many turned into signed jobs.

Is Angi still sending contractors leads?

Lead volume shifted rather than simply shrinking. After Angi moved to homeowner choice in January 2025, its Q3 2025 results (a historical snapshot) showed Network Leads down 81% year over year, while Proprietary Leads rose 16% (Angi Q3 2025 release). The network decline is one channel, not the whole business. In its Q1 2026 shareholder letter, Angi says that of 10 homeowners who submit a request, 6 hire a pro but only 2 hire an Angi pro. Its Q2 2026 results, reported August 4, 2026, showed revenue down 11% and average monthly active pros at 106,000 versus 126,000 a year earlier, down 17% (Angi Q2 2026 release). Angi reports Q3 2026 results in early November 2026, so check the newer release on Angi's investor relations page before relying on these figures.

Which should you choose?

• If you need calls this month and can afford to test: start on pay-per-lead with a small budget. Skip the annual subscription until you have tracked booked jobs for a few months.
• If a rep offers a 12-month contract: get the fee, term, renewal and cancellation steps in writing first. Do not sign on the call.
• If you want customers to contact your business directly: consider Local Services Ads. Customers can still contact competing advertisers. More options are in our HomeAdvisor alternatives guide.
• If you want to stop renting demand: build calls from Google and AI search that you own. That is a different budget, covered on the SEO services page.
