Comparison
Angi is the marketplace formed from Angie's List and HomeAdvisor. It is the largest and longest-established name in the category, and a fair comparison has to start there: this page is about how the two models differ, not about which is bigger.

For a service business, the difference is the model. Angi earns from lead fees and advertising, and a pro competes for attention inside a very large network. On TopProz a pro pays only for a lead they choose to claim, that lead is never shared or resold, and the same account includes VanLynk software to run the job. For a homeowner both are free to use; TopProz adds a background check on every pro and a way to verify the pro at the door.
No. On TopProz a claimed lead is not shared or resold, and a booking made directly from a pro's profile goes only to that pro. Angi's lead-sharing rules are set by its own lead program; check its pro terms for the current policy.
