Switch from Angi
Angi sells shared leads on contracts. Good Circles takes 1% of profit.
Angi combines shared leads with membership and ad fees, often on annual contracts, and charges you whether or not you win the job. At a typical lead price and close rate, landing one job can cost $200+ in lead fees. Good Circles has no lead fees, no contract, and no merchant card cost — a 1% fee on profit, your customer saves ~10%, and a local nonprofit gets funded. Free to join.
A $400 job, side by side
A $400 job that costs you $150 to deliver, at a 25% tax rate. On Angi, winning it at $45 per lead and a 1-in-5 close rate means paying for 5 leads (~$225.00) — and you're charged for the 4 you lost, on top of any membership or ad fees.

Leads, ads, membership, and a contract
Angi doesn't just charge per lead — it layers in membership and advertising fees, often inside an annual contract with an early-termination penalty. You're paying to be listed, paying for shared leads you might lose, and committed for a year, all before you've earned a dollar.
Good Circles has none of that: no contract, no membership, no ads, no leads to buy. Your customers come from local nonprofits and their supporters, you keep about 89% of your profit, and every job funds a local cause. See the full marketplace comparison »
