CraftJack: what happened to the pay-per-lead site, and who runs it now

CraftJack operated as a pay-per-lead service aimed at home improvement contractors, a category that overlaps heavily with the broader trades Angi Inc. serves through its other brands. The pitch was straightforward: a contractor picked the trades and service areas they wanted, and paid for the leads that matched.

That basic shape, pay for a match rather than pay a flat subscription, is common across lead-generation sites for contractors, and it is why a business owner comparing options often has CraftJack on a shortlist next to names like Angi Leads or Networx. What has changed is where a contractor actually ends up if they try to sign up today.

On the date listed for this dossier, every page we tried on CraftJack's own domain sent us somewhere else. The homepage at craftjack.com returned a 301 redirect, the permanent kind, straight to signup.angi.com/pro. The terms of service page did the same thing, as did the about page. None of the three loaded any CraftJack-specific content of their own.

The page we landed on carries no mention of CraftJack at all. It shows Angi's own branding, a phone number, a short form asking what service a visitor needs, and links in the footer to Angi's Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. In plain terms, CraftJack's own web address now functions as an entry point into Angi's pro sign-up funnel rather than a separate product with its own storefront.

Since the sign-up path a contractor reaches through craftjack.com is Angi's own, the terms that apply to that sign-up are Angi's published terms, not a distinct CraftJack contract. Angi's Terms of Use give Angi broad room to end a pro's access, stating it "may terminate your privilege to use or access the Sites and Services immediately and without notice for any reason whatsoever."

On pricing, Angi's own FAQ describes the model rather than listing numbers: qualified pros "pay to advertise their business through our website, magazine, and call center," and eligibility depends on keeping an average rating of 3 stars or higher along with other requirements Angi sets. Neither Angi's Terms of Use nor its FAQ pages that we could load publish a flat lead price or a CraftJack-specific rate card.

For a contractor who signed up with CraftJack before this redirect was in place, the pages we could access do not publish a separate notice explaining how an existing CraftJack account is being handled, whether it has already been migrated into Angi's own system, billed the same way, or wound down. That is not something we can state as fact based on CraftJack's or Angi's public pages, so treat it as unpublished rather than assumed.

A contractor in that position has one reliable way to get a real answer: contact Angi's own support line directly, since CraftJack's own contact channels now route into the same company, and ask specifically how an existing CraftJack lead balance or subscription is being treated.

A redirect into a larger company's own sign-up page is not itself a red flag. Angi Inc. has owned several lead-generation brands for home services over the years, and folding a smaller brand's sign-up into the main platform is a normal way to simplify a company's own product line. A contractor who wants a fast, no-website-required source of job requests can treat signing up through craftjack.com exactly like signing up through Angi directly, since that is functionally what is happening.

The thing worth knowing before you start is simply that you are agreeing to Angi's terms, not a CraftJack-specific one, so read Angi's own Terms of Use and its FAQ on membership options rather than looking for separate CraftJack fine print that the current site does not show.
