Why it is different

You are not buying old leads from a marketplace

Homeowners often ask for help once, then hire whoever makes them feel confident first. LeadHunter USA helps you spot local requests faster, without sitting on your phone all day.

On a marketplace like Angi, Thumbtack, or HomeAdvisor you pay for each lead and share it with the other pros who bought it. Here you pay one flat monthly price for the software, we do not sell leads at all, and there is no per-lead charge.

Nobody posts asking for a handyman. They post a list.

The handyman request almost never uses the word. It is "does anyone know someone who can hang a TV, fix a door that won’t latch, and patch a hole in the drywall" — three jobs, one post, and not a trade name anywhere in it. Keyword lists built around job titles miss these completely.

That is also why handyman work does not appear in most published lead-cost data: the big lead marketplaces sort by trade, and this work does not sort. It arrives as a description of a problem, from someone who has no idea which trade they are supposed to be looking for.

The upside is that these posts are the least contested ones in the group. A burst pipe draws six plumbers in ten minutes. A list of four small jobs draws a couple of "I can do that" replies over an afternoon, and it is worth more than any one of the items on it.

There is no published cost-per-lead figure for handyman work. You can see what a lead costs in the 21 trades that are measured — roofing runs $101.15, landscaping $29.05 — for a sense of what the trades either side of yours are paying.

Questions

Straight answers before you try it

Do I need a credit card to start?+

No. LeadHunter USA offers a 7-day free trial and does not ask for a credit card to start it. Nothing is charged unless a plan is chosen at the end of the trial.

Is this only for handyman businesses?+

This page is built for handyman pros, but LeadHunter USA also supports other local service trades. You choose your profession and job filters during setup.

Where do the leads come from?+

LeadHunter USA watches the local Facebook groups you have already joined and your own Nextdoor feed. It checks each post against your handyman job types before anything is sent. A matching request arrives as a push notification on your own phone, in seconds to minutes.

Are there lead limits?+

No. LeadHunter USA charges $75 a month flat and includes every matching lead it finds, with no per-lead fee and no cap. The same $75 applies whether you watch three local groups or thirty.

How is this different from Angi or Thumbtack?+

Different model. Those are marketplaces: you pay per lead, and the same lead usually goes to several pros at once. LeadHunter USA does not sell leads and is not a lead marketplace. LeadHunter USA charges $75 a month for software that watches the groups you have already joined, with no per-lead charge. The post itself is public to that group, so being early is the advantage rather than ownership.
