Renovate vs Thumbtack. Leads are not a business system.
Thumbtack is a lead marketplace where you pay to reach homeowners. Renovate is the software you run the job in once a lead says yes: estimates, milestone invoices, pipeline, and schedule for one flat monthly price.

Where Renovate fits better than a lead marketplace
Flat price, not pay per lead
Renovate is $29.99 a month for Pro and $59.99 for Pro Plus. Lead marketplaces charge you as leads arrive, whether or not the job closes.
You own the client relationship
Every contact, estimate, and invoice lives in your workspace. Nothing is tied to a marketplace profile you have to keep paying to reach.
Built for the job after the lead
Send a polished estimate, get it accepted online, then bill in milestones. Renovate sends every invoice as a branded secure link with your terms. Your client pays you directly and Renovate takes no cut.
When Thumbtack is the better fit
If you need new homeowner leads and are willing to pay per lead to get them, a marketplace like Thumbtack does that and Renovate does not. Many contractors use both: leads from the marketplace, then Renovate to quote, schedule, and bill the jobs they win.
