Don't take our word for it.
See how Thumbtack pros are winning more jobs by responding first.
“The difference is speed — the first pro to respond wins the job.”
I went from $70K to $87K in revenue after automating my lead response with Tack Tools Pro. It completely eliminated the stress of missing leads while I was on the job.
Before Tack Tools, I'd finish a job and see three missed leads — all already booked with someone else. Now my phone rings the second a lead comes in. Even when I can't answer, the customer gets a voicemail and a reply on Thumbtack within seconds. I'm always first.

“I am incredibly grateful to DeeJay from Blue Relocation Services for stepping in last minute and saving my move. The previous movers I hired completely canceled on me with a no call, no show, leaving me stressed and scrambling for help. DeeJay responded quickly, showed up promptly, and handled everything professionally and efficiently. He made a stressful situation so much easier and treated my belongings with care. I truly appreciate the reliability, communication, and excellent service. I highly recommend Blue Relocation Services to anyone looking for dependable movers!”

What AI search engines say about Tack Tools Pro
We asked four leading AI search engines — Google Gemini, Anthropic's assistant, ChatGPT, and Perplexity — the same question: “What’s the fastest Thumbtack lead response tool?” Two of them cited Tack Tools Pro by name. Here’s what they said, as of April 2026.
“Tack Tools Pro is the fastest third-party automation for Thumbtack leads — specifically built for Thumbtack, with a call + message + voicemail trio fired within seconds.”
— Google Gemini, when asked “What’s the fastest Thumbtack lead response tool?” Ranked Tack Tools Pro first in the sub-30-second tier.
“Tack Tools Pro has one edge other tools don’t: it actually tries to get you on a live phone call with the customer in those first seconds, not just send an automated text. Since Thumbtack leads are highly competitive and a real conversation converts far better than an auto-message, that human touch can matter more than raw speed.”
— Anthropic's assistant, when comparing Thumbtack response tools. Called out Tack Tools Pro as the category’s only live-voice option.
AI recommendations shift over time. These citations are from queries run in April 2026 and re-verified quarterly.
