Looking for an Angi alternative
in San Antonio?
If you've used Angi, HomeAdvisor, or Thumbtack, you probably remember what happened after you hit send: your phone lit up, and kept lighting up for days. That's not a glitch. On a lead-gen marketplace, your request is the product. 210 Homepros works the other way around: tell us the job, and one vetted local pro reaches out, usually within the hour. Nobody else ever gets your number.
Lead-gen marketplaces vs. a local concierge.
"Lead-gen marketplace" is the model behind Angi and HomeAdvisor (both owned by Angi Inc.) and, with variations, Thumbtack: contractors pay for homeowner leads, and a single request is typically shared with multiple pros.
| Lead-gen marketplacesAngi, HomeAdvisor, Thumbtack | 210 HomeprosSan Antonio concierge | |
|---|---|---|
| What happens to your number | Typically shared with multiple contractors who each paid for the lead | Goes to one vetted pro. Nobody else |
| Who contacts you | Several companies competing for the job, often within minutes | The one pro who covers your neighborhood, usually within the hour |
| How pros get in | Contractors sign up and pay for leads; background-check standards vary by platform | Applied and passed our 20-point standard: license verified, insurance confirmed, references called. One pro per trade, per territory |
| Accountability | Reviews and ratings after the fact | Your pro holds the only slot for his trade in your territory. A botched job costs him the whole neighborhood, and you can call us: a real local number that answers |
| Cost to you | Free to request, but pros' lead fees are a cost of sale that can find its way into quotes | Free. Pros pay to be in the network; no lead fee baked into your quote |
| Coverage | Nationwide | San Antonio metro only, on purpose |

What the big platforms do better.
The national marketplaces have millions of reviews, polished apps, and pros in every city in America. If you want to collect five bids by tonight or you're outside San Antonio, they're built for exactly that. We cover one metro, with one vetted pro per trade. If what you want is a short line to a good local pro without becoming a sales lead, that's the trade we built for.

Before you switch.
Is 210 Homepros really free for homeowners?
Yes. Pros pay to be part of the network; you never pay us anything. The pro quotes you directly, with no lead fee baked in.
How is this different from Angi or HomeAdvisor?
On a lead-gen marketplace, your request is typically shared with multiple contractors who each pay for it, which is why the calls multiply. Here, your job goes to exactly one vetted pro, the only one for that trade in your territory, and your number goes to him alone.
Shouldn't I still get three quotes?
If you're pulling names off a directory, absolutely. Here the comparing already happened: your pro earned the only slot for his trade in your territory. The match is free and locks in nothing, so if the quote feels off, go get your other two. Big-ticket job? Compare away. Start with ours; it usually ends the search.
What parts of San Antonio do you cover?
We operate territory by territory across the San Antonio metro. Tell us the job and your address, and we'll confirm the vetted pro who covers your neighborhood.
Who are the pros?
Independent San Antonio professionals who applied and passed our 20-point standard: license verified with the state board, insurance confirmed with the carrier, references called, conduct terms signed. Each holds the only slot for his trade in his territory, so his reputation in your neighborhood rides on your job.
Give your number to one person, not five.
Tell us the job and the one vetted pro for your neighborhood usually reaches out within the hour. Free for homeowners.
