Frequently Asked Questions — HomeAdvisor Alternatives
What is HomeAdvisor?
HomeAdvisor is an online marketplace that connects homeowners with local contractors. Contractors pay per-lead to receive contact information from homeowners looking for services — but those same leads are often sold to multiple competing contractors.
Why do contractors look for HomeAdvisor alternatives?
The biggest complaints are shared leads (competing with 4–5 contractors for the same job), expensive per-lead pricing ($15–100+ per contact), and inconsistent lead quality. FollowFire is a completely different model — it helps you convert your own website traffic, so your leads are exclusive and your cost is flat.
