In short
Angi charges contractors a monthly membership plus per-lead charges on leads shared with competitors. Bobby's plan is no membership, no lead fees, and a flat $1 only on a completed booking. The models split on whether you pay before you win the work.
Angi vs a flat fee, side by side
| Angi | Bobby (pre-launch) | |
|---|---|---|
| Fee model | Monthly membership + pay per lead | Flat fee per completed booking |
| When the pro pays | Monthly, plus on each matched lead | Only when a booking happens |
| Lead exclusivity | Leads are typically sold to multiple contractors | A booking is the customer choosing one provider |
| Cost of a job that never lands | Membership and lead charges still apply | Nothing |
The math at different sizes
Their cost is a monthly membership plus a charge on every lead, and it applies whether or not the work lands. The flat model skips the membership and charges $1 only on a booking.
| Leads per month | Angi | Bobby (flat) |
|---|---|---|
| 2 leads | Monthly membership plus a charge for each of the 2 leads, win or lose | $1 |
| 5 leads | Monthly membership plus 5 lead charges, each shared with other contractors | $1 |
| 10 leads | Monthly membership plus 10 lead charges before any job is guaranteed | $1 |
Angi's cost comes in two parts that both land before the work, a monthly membership and a charge per matched lead. Bobby has neither, charging a flat $1 only when a booking is confirmed.
The gap opens widest in a slow month. On Angi the membership and any lead charges still apply. On Bobby's planned model, a month with no bookings costs nothing.
