🤔 What Providers Are Actually Thinking

We know what you're comparing us to. Here's the honest answer.
🎯
"Thumbtack sends me leads automatically."
Thumbtack sends the same lead to 4–5 providers at once. You're immediately in a price war. And you pay whether you win the job or not. With PRO-STACK, residents find YOU — and contact only you.
🏘️
"Angi has more customers."
Angi has national customers. PRO-STACK has YOUR neighbors — people who live nearby, use services regularly, and come back. A local plumber does not need national reach. They need trusted local visibility — the neighbors who call them back every season.
🚫
"Yelp is where people search."
Yelp makes your competitors' ads appear on YOUR listing page unless you pay $300–$1,000/month more. Your free Yelp listing actively promotes the competition. PRO-STACK shows only you on your profile. No competing ads. Ever.
💰
"$14/month feels risky if I don't get leads."
One average job earns $80–$200. One job pays for 5+ months of PRO-STACK. On Thumbtack, one bad month costs you $150–$400 in leads with zero guarantee. The risk is the other way around.
⭐
"What do I get if I upgrade to Priority + Instant Jobs?"
At $29/month, a single job covers it — and most PRO-STACK providers get 3–8 new contacts per month. Pro-Stacked gives you priority search ranking, a featured badge, and advanced booking tools whether you're a mobile contractor or a hair stylist in a salon. You rank first in search regardless of whether you use the live map.
