Best when you want one standard for every pro, on every job.
If your job is on Angi's pre-priced list and you're happy with an Angi Approved pro, that's a solid way to go. Domas is for the jobs that don't fit a list, and for people who want every pro checked the same way.
Free to the homeowner almost always means somebody else is paying. On lead sites it's the pros, per lead. On Domas it's 3% of finished, paid jobs. Join Domas free and send the next job, or apply as a pro.
