How to Cancel Angi (Angie's List) in 2026 — Membership + Leads Guide

Updated 2026-02-22 · 6 min read

📌 Angie's List → Angi → What Happened

Angie's List was once a trusted paid-membership review site for home services. In 2017, it merged with HomeAdvisor to form Angi (owned by IAC/Match Group). The paid membership model was gutted — free users now see the same reviews. If you're still paying for an Angi membership, you're paying for features that used to be the whole product and are now nearly worthless.

What You're Paying For (And Why It's Not Worth It)

Angi's paid membership (if you still have one) includes:

Verified reviews: But Google Maps reviews are now more comprehensive and free
"Angi Certified" pros: A badge that pros pay for — it's advertising, not quality assurance
Exclusive deals: Rarely better than what you'd negotiate directly with a contractor
Complaint resolution: In theory helpful, but reviews of Angi's resolution process are mixed at best

How to Cancel Angi Membership (Homeowners)

Method 1: Online

Log into angi.com
Go to Account Settings → Membership
Click "Cancel Membership"
Confirm cancellation

Method 2: Phone

Call 1-888-944-5478 and say "cancel membership." Have your account email ready. Phone cancellation is often faster than navigating the website.

Method 3: Email

Email memberservices@angi.com requesting cancellation. Include your name, email, and membership ID.

How to Cancel Angi Pro Account (Service Providers)

If you're a contractor/pro paying for Angi advertising and leads:

Log into your Angi Pro account
Go to Account → Advertising
Turn off all advertising and lead targeting
Contact your Angi account rep to fully cancel (they'll try hard to retain you — be firm)
If you can't reach your rep: call 1-877-947-3639 (pro support line)

⚠️ Angi Pro Contracts

Some Angi Pro advertising plans have annual contracts with early termination fees. Review your contract before canceling. If you signed a 12-month advertising commitment, you may owe the remaining months. However, if Angi failed to deliver the promised lead volume, you have grounds to dispute the contract.

Better Alternatives for Finding Contractors

Google Maps: Free. Search "[service] near me," read reviews, contact directly. Most comprehensive review database.
Nextdoor: Free. Real neighbors recommending contractors they've personally used. Highest trust level.
Facebook local groups: "[Your City] Home Improvement" — active communities with real recommendations
Your city/county contractor licensing board: Free lookup to verify licenses, insurance, and complaint history
Word of mouth: Ask neighbors, coworkers, and your real estate agent. The best contractors have 6-month wait lists from referrals alone.

The Decline of Paid Review Sites

Angie's List thrived in the 2000s when online reviews were scarce and verifying contractor quality was hard. Google Maps, Yelp, and social media changed that. Today, every contractor has dozens of free, publicly accessible reviews. Paying for a membership to see reviews is like paying for a phone book in the age of Google.

The merger with HomeAdvisor made things worse: Angi now prioritizes pros who pay for advertising over highly-rated pros who don't. The "recommended" contractors are the ones spending the most on leads, not necessarily the best ones.

🔍 Home Service Subscriptions Multiply

Angi, home warranties, pest control, lawn care, cleaning services, security monitoring — homeowners average $200-500/month in recurring home costs. JustCancel scans your bank statement to surface them all.
