The short version
- Both are free to request quotes.
- HomeAdvisor's terms say your request goes to service professionals, including companies like Home Depot and Empire Today, and that you agree to be contacted even if you're on the Do Not Call list. On Jobiteer, pros reach you in a private chat.
- See what homeowners near you actually paid for the same kind of job.
- Reviews go both ways, and only come from real hires on Jobiteer.
For a private, no-pressure way to compare pros at a fair price, Jobiteer is the better fit.

Your details stay with you
HomeAdvisor's terms say it will try to match your request with up to four service professionals, that your request information is sent to them (including companies like Home Depot and Empire Today), and that you consent to contact by phone, text, email and push notification even if you're on a Do Not Call list. It can also connect you with a pro by phone right away.
On Jobiteer, pros who want your job message you in a private chat. Your phone number and email are never shown to pros, so you decide who to talk to and when, and nobody gets your number unless you share it.
Know the price in your area
HomeAdvisor shows national median prices for its pre-priced jobs. Jobiteer shows what homeowners near you actually paid for the same kind of job, right on your post, and suggests your budget from those numbers.
Reviews from real hires, both ways
On Jobiteer, every review comes from a job hired on Jobiteer, and both the homeowner and the pro rate each other. Neither sees the other's review until both are in, so they stay honest. Profiles show each pro's insured, bonded and warranty badges up front.
Everything for the job, in one place
- Estimates and itemized invoices with tax, right in the chat
- Book from the pro's real openings, with reminders
- "On my way" and a verified "Arrived" on the day
- A record of every job, pro and invoice for your home
Fast answers, in a chat that feels familiar
When a pro is on a job or it's after hours, you don't have to wait to hear back. Pros who use Jobi, Jobiteer's AI assistant, have it answer for them: it's always labeled Jobi AI, it answers from the pro's own information, can suggest a time, and lets the pro know right away. If you'd rather wait for the pro, you can turn it off for your chat anytime.
- React with an emoji or swipe to reply, like the messaging apps you already use
- Share photos, get estimates and invoices, and book, all in the same thread
- When you hire, you can choose to share your phone and email with that pro, so estimates and invoices fill in for you
- Block anyone at any time, and report anything that doesn't feel right
