Aggregate review data from contractor forums, r/Angi, and the major trade Facebook groups: 22% of Angi leads are unreachable, the same form-fill goes to 4 contractors, and the average annual contract auto-renews at higher pricing. Here's the math.
Real permits filed in the last 7 days. Contractor names and phone numbers unmask on the trial.

Cancel anytime. Your leads aren't resold to four competitors like Angi or HomeAdvisor.
Every count above is live from the PermitGrab database. Here's what's in the product.
Real questions contractors have asked us. If yours isn't here, email [email protected].
It depends on your speed-to-call infrastructure. If you have a dedicated ISA or dispatcher who can call within 60 seconds of a lead landing, Angi can work — but margins are thin because you're racing 3 other contractors. If you can't beat speed-to-call, Angi leads die in your CRM. Most single-truck and 5-50 employee shops are better served by permit data (PermitGrab) or door-knocking from a real address list.
Aggregated contractor reports: 5-12% close rate, well below industry average for warm referral leads (~30%). The conversion gap is the shared-lead pricing race — by the time you call, 2 other contractors have already quoted.

Angi sells homeowner form-fills to multiple contractors. PermitGrab gives you the contractor and owner of a permit that was actually issued — real construction is happening at the address. You're not racing 4 other roofers to a $35 lead.
PermitGrab is $149/month flat. No annual contract. Cancel anytime. No per-lead fee, no shared-lead surcharge, no surprises.
Yes. Start a 14-day free trial with full Pro access — every contractor and owner phone, unlimited reveals, CSV export, and city alerts. A card is required to start, but cancel in one click anytime before day 14 and you won't be charged. After that it's $149/month, cancel anytime.
