Lead marketplaces for home service contractors in the US
11 lead marketplaces take trades businesses in the US. Editor's picks here are Angi and Thumbtack. One publishes a starting price: $499 a month. US marketplaces charge per lead whether or not the job is won, so lead quality and dispute rules matter as much as price.

FieldClients is owned by the publisher of Trades Shortlist. It is labelled on every page where it appears, carries no badge, and gets no bonus in the shortlist. Details on the methodology page.
How this list is built. Every listing names home service trades as a market and serves the US. Order is editor's pick, then explicit trade coverage, then a published price, then name. Nobody pays to appear or to rank. The publisher's own product is labelled and gets no adjustment. Full methodology.
