Angi

Angi grew out of Angie's List, founded in 1995, and took the shorter name in 2021. For budgeting the useful part is the cost guide: average project prices by category and location, built from jobs reported by users. From there the app books pros, gathers quotes and keeps messages and receipts in one thread. Reviews sit next to every pro profile.

Handy for a first ballpark and for finding a trade in a hurry. The averages stay broad, so a high end kitchen and a rental flip land in the same bucket. After one request several companies usually call at once, and review quality varies by city. Free for homeowners, since the pros pay for the leads.
