Thumbtack alternative

The Thumbtack alternative for service providers.

Thumbtack is a profile in their app, with lead prices that change by category and demand. ShopStable gives service providers a real website on their own domain, a local marketplace listing, and flat-rate leads. Free to start.

A profile in their app is not a business of your own.

  • Your business is a card in their search results, not a website you own.

  • Lead prices change with category and demand.

  • Promoted placement means bidding against your peers to be seen.

  • Your reviews and customer data live on their platform.

A real website plus a local marketplace.

01
Real service-provider website.
Service pages, products, portfolio, hours, and area on your own subdomain, not a card in a list.
02
Marketplace listing included.
Customers search by zip code and send quote requests through the local marketplace.
03
Flat-rate leads.
One predictable price per lead. No demand-based pricing, no bidding to be seen.
Why ShopStable

Build a business, not a profile.

  • One flat rate per lead, the same price every time.

  • A real website on your own domain, with a full builder.

  • Free to start, upgrade only when you need a custom domain.

  • Your reviews and customer data stay in your dashboard.

The big platforms turned local businesses into line items, renting them visibility and auctioning their leads. We think you should own what you build instead.

That's the whole idea behind ShopStable: a real website on your own subdomain, a marketplace that brings customers to you, and leads from $10. Your brand, with clear, published fees.
