Angie's List is an online platform that connects consumers with local service providers. It allows users to find and review various professionals, such as plumbers, electricians, and landscapers, based on their experiences. The platform aims to help people make informed decisions when hiring services for their homes. Founded in 1995, Angie's List originally operated as a subscription-based service, but it has since transitioned to a free model. Users can access reviews and ratings without a membership, making it easier for them to find reliable services in their area.
