Homeyou Review

About Homeyou

Homeyou is a nationwide pay-per-lead marketplace covering more than 1,000 home services, operated by Woburn, Massachusetts-based Triares (founded 2009). The Homeyou brand has run since around 2014 and processes roughly 2.9 million service requests a year, so volume and breadth are genuine strengths — there are few residential trades it does not touch. Contractors pay only for leads (and calls) as they are delivered, with no large upfront commitment, and per-lead prices are reasonable: about $19 for siding repair, $26-$37 for basement waterproofing, $78 for a full roof replacement.

Like most pay-per-lead marketplaces, Homeyou sells leads on a shared basis — the same homeowner request can go to multiple contractors — and that is the source of its mixed reviews. Some contractors report higher-quality leads than other shared-lead networks; others report irrelevant leads that get charged anyway, and a refund process that issues account credit rather than cash when disputes are granted. It is the same structural tension as Networx, though Homeyou's sentiment is somewhat less harsh.

The pay-as-delivered pricing and reasonable per-lead costs make Homeyou a lower-risk shared-lead option to test than a heavy-subscription platform, especially in trades where its $19-$78 lead prices map well to your job values and close rate. The discipline rules are the same as any shared-lead channel: track close rate and cost-per-acquired-customer, dispute irrelevant leads promptly, and do not expect the credit-based refund process to feel generous.

We would still steer most shops to exclusive and pay-per-call channels first (Google LSA, Service Direct, eLocal) for higher conversion and less competition per lead. Homeyou earns a place as a supplemental, volume-oriented shared-lead source — useful in trades and markets where you can convert shared leads efficiently and want incremental pipeline.
