I have been with Thumbtack for 4 years and am seriously considering leaving. I loved the ability to offer personalized quotes so people got an idea about my business and what I offered. I could also set the price depending on the job and the cost was fair. Also, the price for quotes was wonderful and fair as well. Since this new automatic quote system came out, I have not been hired in four months and I am a Top Pro with over 51 hires. And you cannot turn the automatic quote off or you get zero quotes. I get quoted under budget and over charged. For example, I was hired for a realty shot. I usually charge $100 for a single home, up to 3000sq feet. This client was sent a cold quote for $100 for a 4 duplex condo, something which I would charge $200 for and then Thumbtack charged me $18, when it used to only charge me $5. So I only make $82 on a $200 job. I am losing money staying with Thumbtack. Another example is that I was charged $17 for a $150 headshot session and the client has not even hired me. That is a lot of money to lose. Back in the day, if I lost $6 for a quote that didn't pan out, it was not such a big deal, but those big numbers add up quickly. This is just two examples of many.
