Jiffy vs RenovationFind
Two Canada lead generation options, compared side by side for Canada trades.
Which should you choose?
Jiffy and RenovationFind are both Tier A. Compare the typical pricing shown for each below. The tier is not a quality ranking: weigh the pros, cons, pricing and Canada-specific notes below against your trade and region.
Jiffy
Tier A · ListedToronto-founded on-demand home maintenance app, owned by Intact since 2024: sends pros booked jobs at set rates
Jiffy is a home maintenance app founded in Toronto in 2015 that lets homeowners book a vetted pro at a pre-determined rate instead of collecting quotes. Intact Financial Corporation acquired Jiffy in 2024, and BetaKit reported that Jiffy keeps its own brand as an Intact division. For tradespeople, Jiffy says it sends firm jobs and handles payment, invoicing and customer service, making it a booking channel rather than a quote-request directory.
Pros
- + Sends firm, pre-priced jobs rather than leads to quote on
- + Jiffy handles payment, invoicing and customer service (per Jiffy)
- + Owned by Intact Financial Corporation since 2024
- + Covers core trades such as plumbing, electrical, HVAC and roofing
Cons
- − Limited to the cities Jiffy operates in
- − Jiffy sets the rate the customer pays
- − Pro fees or commission not published
- − Aimed at smaller home maintenance jobs
Canada note
At the time of the Intact deal, BetaKit reported Jiffy served the Greater Toronto Area, Ottawa and Calgary; an April 2025 trade-press report said it planned to expand to Vancouver and Edmonton. Jiffy's February 2024 release listed more than 40 home services, including plumbing, electrical, HVAC and roofing.
RenovationFind
Tier A · ListedCanadian directory of renovation contractors that RenovationFind certifies after background, licence, insurance and workers' comp checks
RenovationFind is a directory of home renovation and building companies in Canadian cities, such as Calgary, that it lists as RenovationFind Certified. RenovationFind says certified companies pass legal and credit background checks and are checked for a business licence, insurance and WCB or WSIB coverage. It grades certified companies with its own rating of A-, A or A+, where BBB accreditation counts toward the higher grades.
Pros
- + Certification checks background, business licence, insurance and WCB or WSIB coverage
- + Listings organized by Canadian province and city
- + RenovationFind publishes the criteria behind its A-, A and A+ grades
Cons
- − Contractor fees and membership terms were not found in any source we could read
- − The A-, A and A+ grades are RenovationFind's own rating, not a BBB rating
- − Certification asks for a proven service record, so new businesses may not qualify
Canada note
RenovationFind's certification checks Canadian workers' compensation coverage (WCB or WSIB) along with business licences and insurance, and its listings are organized by province and city. Contractor fees and membership terms were not confirmed because its website blocked our checks.
