What is a Thumbtack auto responder?

A Thumbtack auto responder replies to a new Thumbtack lead as soon as it arrives. Auto-Respond sends the first reply in under 2 seconds and can continue with follow-up messages based on the service details and reply instructions you provide.

How much does Thumbtack charge per lead?

Thumbtack does not have one useful flat price for every category and market. Check the price shown in your Thumbtack account for the services and locations you target. To measure the result, divide total Thumbtack lead spend by booked jobs instead of relying on a generic online range.

How quickly does Auto-Respond reply?

The first reply is sent in under 2 seconds on supported Thumbtack leads. That is the product response-time claim; it is not a promise that every lead will reply, qualify, or book.

How long does setup take?

The do-it-yourself setup is designed to take under 2 minutes, and same-day setup is available. The under-2-minute figure is owner-stated, not an independent stopwatch test.

Does it follow up after the first message?

Yes. A typical sequence can follow up on Day 1, Day 3, and Day 7. Follow-up stops when the lead replies or books, so the sequence does not keep chasing an active conversation.

What does the Thumbtack auto responder cost?

Thumbtack auto-response is $99 per month with a 7-day free trial, no setup fee, no per-lead fee, no lead cap, and no contract. The optional voice agent costs $10 per month per number plus $1 per minute for outbound calls.

Which other lead sources are supported?

Auto-Respond also supports Yelp Request a Quote, Facebook Messenger, Facebook Lead Ads, Instagram DMs, and Google Local Services Ads.
