Updated and fact-checked: 14 August 2026. Features, prices and availability can vary by country, account and platform.
Quick verdict
The old HomeAdvisor app review is outdated because the consumer brand and experience now sit within Angi. Angi can shorten the search for local professionals, but a platform match is only a starting point: licences, insurance, references and the written contract still require independent checking.
What it offers in 2026
Angi helps homeowners describe a project, find nearby service professionals, read reviews and request contact or quotes. The company says the rebrand reflects a move from a directory toward a broader home-services platform. Availability and the way professionals contact users vary by project and location.
Main features
- Search and matching for local home-service professionals
- Project categories and cost guides
- Customer ratings and written reviews
- Quote or contact requests
- Saved project and provider information
Pricing and fees
Homeowners can browse or submit many requests without an upfront membership, but project prices come from independent service professionals. Pros may pay the platform for leads or advertising. Compare multiple itemised quotes and never assume a platform badge fixes the contract price.
Limitations and risks
Submitting a request may generate calls or messages from several companies. Verify licence and insurance with the relevant authority, obtain references, define materials and milestones, and avoid large irreversible payments before work begins.
Who is it best for?
Best for building an initial shortlist in the US. It is not a substitute for due diligence or a recommendation from someone who has inspected the work.
Our practical recommendation
Check the live checkout, permissions and cancellation terms on your own device. Use the free tier, trial or shortest plan first where possible, and keep transaction records for paid services.
