It is part of my series on lead platforms; the hub is what Angi leads really cost, which covers the biggest competitor.
Per Networx's own pages, homeowners describe their project, Networx asks qualifying questions, and the request is sent to matching contractors in real time by text and email. You set a budget, and each lead's price is deducted from your prepaid balance.
From the Networx help center:
| Plan | Price per lead | Shared with |
|---|---|---|
| Pay Per Lead | $10 to $100+ | Up to 4 contractors (Networx pay-per-lead page) |
| Exclusive Leads | $15 to $120+ | Only you |
| Membership fee | None stated |
Networx says the actual price depends on your service categories and coverage area, and you can see your prices in the dashboard under the Plan tab. It does not publish a per-trade table, so I won't guess one.
The pricing article does not say how many leads a given budget buys in your zip code, or how often a shared lead actually goes to all four contractors. Networx does publish a Lead Credit Policy (covered below), but ask your rep in writing whether credits come back as cash or as account balance before you fund your account.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Published price ranges | Wide ranges; your real price depends on trade and area |
| Exclusive lead option | Shared leads still go to up to 4 pros |
| No membership fee or contract, per Networx | Prepaid balance means money is committed up front |
| Real-time delivery by text and email | Refund rules not stated on the pricing help page |
It is less likely to pay when your average job is small and you are on shared leads at the top of the range, or when your calendar is already full from Google and referrals.
| Networx | Angi | Thumbtack | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Published prices | Ranges | No | No; you set yours |
| Exclusive option | Yes | Not stated on pro FAQ | Not applicable |
| Membership fee | None, per Networx | Ask your rep | None, per Thumbtack |
| Bad-lead policy | Ask in writing | Store credit, 30-day window | Refund to balance |
More detail: Thumbtack vs Angi, is Angi worth it and the full list of Thumbtack alternatives. For the deeper background on shared-lead economics, see my Angi leads guide.
Networx does publish its rules, in a separate Lead Credit Policy article in its help center. In short:
That 14-day window is tighter than Angi's 30 days, so report bad leads the day you find them.
My reading, not a Networx claim: Networx is built around home-improvement projects, so it fits trades with a clear, quotable project and a decent ticket, where an exclusive lead can pay for itself. Examples are installs, repairs that need a visit and a quote, and exterior work. It suits emergency trades less, because those buyers usually call straight from Google Maps.
A lead platform is a bet you can measure. Here is the test I walk owners through before they add budget or quit.
| Column | What to write |
|---|---|
| Date and platform | When the lead arrived and where from |
| Job type and zip | So you can see which categories and areas pay |
| Price paid | The charge on your statement, not the list price |
| Minutes to first reply | Speed is the variable you control most |
| Reached the customer? | Yes, no, or bad number |
| Credit or refund requested | Date requested and outcome |
| Quoted, won, lost | And the job value if won |
| Gross profit | Job value minus materials and labor |
Thirty days is short for big-ticket work, so for installs and replacements keep logging until the quotes from those 30 days have been decided. Then keep, trim or cut.
Worked example. Assumptions are mine, not Networx prices for your trade, and not a client result. Two lead prices chosen from inside Networx's published ranges.
| Line | Shared leads (example) | Exclusive leads (example) |
|---|---|---|
| Assumed price per lead | $45 | $90 |
| Monthly budget | $1,800 = 40 leads | $1,800 = 20 leads |
| Assumed close rate | 12% | 30% |
| Jobs | 4.8 | 6 |
| Cost per job | $375 | $300 |
| Break-even close rate at $800 gross profit/job | 5.6% | 11.3% |
Neither column leaves you anything when you stop. At my Pro plan, $1,500 a month goes into rankings, pages and your Google profile, with no ranking guarantee and a slower start. Trade specifics: roofing leads you don't pay per lead for, HVAC lead generation, plumbing leads.
Networx's help center lists $10 to $100+ per lead on Pay Per Lead and $15 to $120+ on Exclusive Leads, depending on category and area.
It is an established lead service with published pricing and no stated contract. Judge it on your own close rate over 30+ leads.
Up to 4 on Pay Per Lead, per Networx. Exclusive leads go only to you.
Networx says there are no annual or monthly membership fees. You prepay a balance and leads are deducted from it.
Yes, under its Lead Credit Policy: incorrect phone numbers, wrong industry and renters instead of owners qualify. Requests go through Report Lead within 14 days, and decisions are final.

I specialize in home services SEO: taking websites that sit invisible on page three and turning them into the business Google and ChatGPT recommend first. I started on the developer side, writing software and doing SEO on the side, until I saw how much home-service owners were overpaying for work that quietly hurt them. So I built a method that fixes the broken technical work and the outdated thinking behind it.
From garage door companies to plumbers, roofers, locksmiths and cleaning services, the playbook is the same: rank where your customers actually search, earn real reviews, and back it with a fast site that books the job. No PBNs, no bought reviews, no directory spam. Only work that survives Google’s next five updates. See exactly how it’s priced on the pricing page.
