SeriousLife vs Angi
I'm not going to badmouth Angi — plenty of good pros have found work through it. I just think you should see the numbers side by side before you decide where your marketing dollars go.
Pricing, side by side
| SeriousLife | Angi | |
|---|---|---|
| Per lead | $3/lead | ~$300/year + $15–120 per lead |
| Monthly/annual fee | $20/mo (optional, unlimited unlocks) | A membership fee of roughly $300/year on top of $15–120 per lead, and many businesses report a monthly minimum ad-spend requirement layered on top of that. |
| Contract | None — cancel anytime | Varies — see above |

Where SeriousLife is different
- $3 per lead, flat — no credits, no per-lead haggling, and it's the same price whether the job is a $50 fix or a $50,000 reno.
- $20/month gets a business unlimited free lead unlocks — no per-lead charges on top, ever, for as long as they're subscribed.
- No contract, no annual fee, no minimum spend. Cancel the subscription anytime from the billing portal; credit top-ups are one-off purchases, not a recurring commitment.
- Every lead is email-verified before it ever reaches a business — an unverified request never gets dispatched.
- A business can report a lead that turns out to be bad (no-show, fake, wrong trade) and have it reviewed for a credit refund.
- The customer sees who might contact them — names, ratings, real profiles — before anyone actually calls or emails, not after.
Where we're still catching up
I'd rather tell you straight than have you find out later:
- • SeriousLife is new. Lead volume in any given city is still growing — the older platforms above have years of accumulated traffic we don't have yet.
- • Some trades and cities have more listings than others; a few newer categories are still filling in.
