The short version
Angi and SCAYLED serve completely different markets. One is residential consumer. The other is commercial B2B.
- Angi: a consumer marketplace (formerly Angie's List + HomeAdvisor) that connects homeowners with local service professionals. Pay-per-lead model. Leads are shared with multiple providers. Focused on residential jobs: cleaning, plumbing, HVAC, painting, roofing, landscaping.
- SCAYLED: B2B lead generation for commercial service contracts. Scan any commercial building, identify the facility manager or property manager, get verified contact details, and pitch recurring commercial contracts directly.
The fundamental difference: Angi leads are homeowners who need something fixed. SCAYLED leads are commercial operators who need ongoing service contracts worth 10x to 50x more per account.
What each tool actually does
Angi is built for
- Connecting homeowners with service pros for residential projects
- Generating pay-per-lead consumer inquiries
- Building reviews and reputation on the Angi marketplace
- Running ads to residential consumers in your service area
- Fixed-price service listings for common residential tasks
- Consumer-facing scheduling and booking
SCAYLED is built for
- Scanning commercial buildings to identify the current occupier
- Finding the decision-maker (Facility Manager, Property Manager, Director of Operations)
- Verifying contact details against live records (98% email deliverability)
- Targeting buildings by location, radius, or property type
- Generating personalized outreach for commercial contract pitches
- Building a pipeline of recurring commercial contracts
The economics are completely different
On Angi, you pay $15 to $100+ per lead. That lead is shared with 3 to 5 other providers. The job, if you win it, might be worth $200 to $2,000. Customer acquisition cost is high relative to job value, and the work is usually one-off.
On SCAYLED, you pay $79 or $149 per month for a credit allocation that yields dozens of verified commercial contacts. Each contact is a potential multi-year contract worth $5,000 to $50,000+ per year. You are not sharing the lead with anyone. You found the decision-maker, and you are reaching out directly.

On SCAYLED, $149/month gives you hundreds of exclusive commercial contacts, and one converted contract can generate $10,000+ in annual recurring revenue.
When to use which
You're a residential plumber who needs more homeowner calls this week
→ Angi. Consumer marketplace leads are built for this. Turn them on, get calls, close jobs.
You want to break into the commercial market with recurring facility contracts
→ SCAYLED. Scan office buildings and warehouses. Find the facility managers. Pitch ongoing maintenance contracts.
You need consumer reviews to build your residential reputation
→ Angi. The review platform is one of the most recognized in residential services.
You want to target every building in a commercial park with a single scan
→ SCAYLED. Drop the address, scan the radius, get verified contacts for every operator.
You run a mixed residential/commercial business and need both lead sources
→ Both. Angi for the residential pipeline. SCAYLED for the commercial pipeline. Different revenue streams, different tools.
You're tired of competing against four other providers on every lead
→ SCAYLED. Your contacts are yours. No lead sharing. You found the decision-maker, and you reach out directly.
What I tell operators who ask
Angi is a fine source of residential leads. It works. The problem is the economics: shared leads, high cost per acquisition, one-off jobs with limited lifetime value. For residential volume, it can be a necessary cost of doing business.
But if you want to change the economics of your business, commercial contracts are the move. A single commercial cleaning contract can equal 50 residential Angi jobs in annual revenue. A commercial HVAC maintenance agreement can be worth more than an entire month's Angi spend.
SCAYLED is not an Angi replacement. It is a different category entirely. If you are serious about building a commercial division, SCAYLED gives you the pipeline Angi cannot. The decision-makers at commercial facilities are not on Angi looking for quotes. They need to be found, contacted, and pitched directly.
