I had used Thumbtack for a couple years. It worked fantastic and it helped build my business. Then out of nowhere they raised their rates 4 fold. They started charging up to $85 just for a lead even if the client doesn't respond. I'm a small business and can't afford $85 for nothing! Now I get leads in Palm Springs, Los Angeles, Chula Vista and I live in Temecula! I have stopped using them completely.
