Djobzy is a location-based work and services marketplace with live-map discovery, where workers keep 100% of the agreed price and clients see verified profiles before hiring. Angi (formerly Angie’s List) is a U.S. home-services directory and lead-generation platform, part of the same company as HomeAdvisor since 2017. Pros pay per lead — often shared with several other pros for the same job.
The core question this page answers: if you’re a home-services pro paying for leads that don’t always close, or a homeowner tired of getting five callbacks after one form fill, is there a different way that works for you? Here’s the fact-by-fact comparison.

Ten dimensions, no winner declared. Sources are numbered and listed at the end.
Marketplace type
Djobzy
Location-based work and services marketplace with live-map discovery.
Angi
Home-services directory and lead-generation platform. Originally launched as Angie’s List (1995), acquired HomeAdvisor via IAC merger in 2017, and rebranded to Angi in 2021. Angi and HomeAdvisor now run parallel brands from the same company.1
Scope
Djobzy
Local and remote work. Jobs, services, freelance and shift work — home services are a subset, not the whole marketplace.
Angi
Home services only: plumbing, electrical, HVAC, cleaning, landscaping, handyman, roofing, and related trades.2
What the worker or pro pays
Djobzy
Zero commission
Workers keep 100% of the agreed worker price. No per-lead fees, no shared leads.
Angi
Membership + $15–$120 per lead
Angi Ads: annual membership (reported at $250–$600+ per month) plus per-lead fees. Angi Leads (formerly HomeAdvisor): $350 annual listing fee plus $15–$120 per lead, priced by trade, city and competition.3
Each lead is typically shared with 3–5 other contractors. Pros pay whether or not they win the job.
What the customer or employer pays
Djobzy
15% platform fee
Charged on top of the agreed price and visible before you confirm. Current pricing is published at djobzy.com.
Angi
Free or Angi Key subscription
Free to browse and request quotes. A paid Angi Key subscription (previously “Angi Membership”) unlocks discounts and additional support. Homeowners don’t pay Angi directly for the work itself — that happens between the homeowner and the pro.4
Payment protection
Djobzy
Payment is held in escrow until the job is completed. Workers are paid on completion; clients are protected until then.
Angi
For work booked and paid through Angi’s Fixed Price bookings, Angi’s Happiness Guarantee covers eligible issues; for pro-quoted work (the majority of use), homeowners and pros settle up directly, off-platform.5
How people find each other
Djobzy
Live map with active listings and provider profiles visible by location. Homeowners see who’s near them directly.
Angi
Category-based directory and matching. Homeowners describe the job; Angi passes the details to a shortlist of pros (typically 3–5). Pros pay for that lead and follow up directly.6
Verification
Djobzy
Seven levels: email, phone, social, address, government ID, payment card, and interview plus third-party background check.
A trust signal, not a guarantee of safety, character or competence.
Angi
Pros complete a screening process before they can be listed. Angi runs background checks on business owners for many categories and displays licensing where required. The specifics vary by trade and state.7
Reputation portability
Djobzy
Career Passport — a portable professional record carrying reputation, reviews, experience and work history across locations and opportunities.
Angi
Reviews and ratings live on the Angi profile. No public statement found describing reputation as portable off-platform.8
Repeat work
Djobzy
Homeowners can build a trusted list over time and re-hire directly, with no per-lead fee on repeat bookings.
Angi
Homeowners can save a favourite pro and re-contact them. Once the pro has the contact details, repeat work typically happens off-platform.9
Where it works
Djobzy
Live map active globally and usable in any location. Vancouver and Toronto are the confirmed focus markets.
Angi
United States. Some limited operations in Canada (Homestars is under the same parent company) but Angi itself is a U.S.-focused platform.10
What you actually take home
Say you win a home-services job. Both platforms lead to the same customer-facing price — but what you keep changes depending on how many leads you paid for to win it. Pick a job price below.

Why the lead fees are more than one: Angi’s shared-lead model sends each job to a shortlist of 3–5 pros. Every pro who responds pays the lead fee whether or not they win. The figures above use the reported $15–$120 lead-cost range and assume three leads to close one job. Annual membership is separate.
Illustrative comparison, not a quote. Per-lead costs and close rates vary widely by trade, market, and competition. Djobzy figures reflect zero worker commission. Verified 23 July 2026.
Which situation fits which platform
Angi may fit better if
You're an established U.S. home-services pro with the volume to absorb per-lead fees and shared-lead economics, or a homeowner who wants the reassurance of a large national directory with detailed pro profiles and reviews.
Djobzy may fit better if
You want to keep the full price of your work rather than paying for leads (especially shared leads that don't close), or you want to see who's actually available near you on a live map instead of waiting for a directory to route you to a pro. Djobzy also covers work outside home services — freelance, events, professional services, remote work.
Different business models
Angi makes money by selling leads to pros. Djobzy makes money from a per-hire platform fee paid by the employer. Those are two different economic incentives, and they change how each platform treats supply and demand.
No lead fees. No shared leads. No annual contracts.
Keep the full price of your work.
Workers pay zero commission. Employers pay a 15% platform fee per hire, visible before you confirm.
