Choosing between them.

National franchise
Consistent dispatch and nationwide warranty — often higher price and commissioned techs.
Marketplace app
Sells your lead onward. Contractors often pay $45–$120 per lead and price it into your invoice.
Handyman

Choosing between them.
A franchise gives consistent dispatch and nationwide warranty coverage; a local licensed plumber usually gives a lower price and more experienced hands on site. Ask how the technician is paid before you book.
Usually not. The contractor pays for your lead and prices that into the job. One form fill often produces several calls in ten minutes.
In most jurisdictions, no. Replacement involves gas or a dedicated circuit plus a permit and inspection.
