Groundwork vs Angi

Angi sells you a form fill, shared with three to eight other contractors, at $15–$85 a lead. We sell a government permit record for $2.60.

Angi — $15–$85 per lead

$15–$85 per lead, and often $100+ in high-value trades
Roughly $300/yr membership plus $200+/mo in fees on top of the lead price
The same lead goes to 3–8 contractors. You are racing to call first
Homeowner filled in a form. The standard complaint is wrong numbers and people who never asked for service
No way to verify a lead before you pay for it

Groundwork — $39/mo

$39/mo flat — about $2.60 a lead at 15 a week
No per-lead charge, no membership fee, no annual contract
Seats are capped per trade and region rather than sold to the whole city
The homeowner already filed a building permit. The project is real, funded and dated
Every lead carries a permit number you can quote to SD Development Services before you spend a minute on it

The short version

At 15 leads a week, $39/mo works out to $2.60 a lead — roughly 10–30× cheaper than Angi, and the source is a government filing rather than a form.

Fair to them: an Angi lead is a person who raised their hand and wants a quote now. A permit is a person who has already committed to the work but has not necessarily asked anyone to call. Those are different moments, and the outreach is on you.
