Bark.com Reviews & Product Details

Absolutely NOTHING at all. If anything I will caution everyone against it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Their starter pack offer where a new business takes no risk with the credit return guarantee is not available if purchased from the app.

My experience was a purchase from the app of $63.99 gave me only 20 credits, whereas the starter pack offer offered 70 credits for just ₹2150 aprox. I was sent emails about which went into my spam.

Now my 20 credits resulted in 4 leads, none of which lead to a purchase. When I contacted the customer care about the un informed purchase I made they were completely unwilling to make any allowances. No return of credits or refund, but tried selling the starter pack to me yet again.

To put this in perspective, me as a customer already made my 1st purchase for almost ₹3400 and received only a little over 1/4th the product (70 credits vs 20 credits) and with no return credit guarantee.

I am completely appalled at the lack of integrity a company can show in robbing new customers off their hard earned money even though they had every opportunity to change the outcome for the client. A simple partial refund and extra credit could have resulted in actual business for me and them.

Disgruntled, dissatisfied and disillusioned Bark customer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unfortunately for Bark, there is nothing i like about it. Even customer support wasnt good, they seemed hesitant on refunding me credits with the 'Get Hired Guaranteed' policy they have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I believe this is a scam company and by reading other reviews on this site, seems like other people feel the same way. Wish i read them before purchasing credits.

I would see multiple leads that have the exact same project details. It feels like they create their own leads and recycle these project details. I mean if youre running a scam company, at least dont make it obvious?

These leads NEVER respond to call, text or email, and if they respond its either a wrong number, they didnt even post an ad on Bark they were browsing, or they already had the job done months ago. This is frustrating because I am wasting time on doing this crap with Bark when I can go out myself generate more leads.

How are they actually veriying phone numbers when there is no voicemail attached to some of these? AND most of the voicemails are full too.

There was one instance where I went to call a client, they never responded and there was no voicemail. It was a weird area code as well (Not from anywhere where im from), so i decided to invesitage it and the number comes from ANOTHER DAMN COUNTRY.

This is honestly outrageous and I advise people to stay away from this company with a 100ft pole. They are not to be trusted, and not to be viewed as a legit company.

All these good reviews seem to be them creating it because its always short and brief and then their response to them is a Novel vs the response unsatisfied people get...hint, its not a novel and its the same recycled lines.

Unhappy, will never use this platform again, and will advise anyone to stay away from it!!!! Save your time, money and SANITY!!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing at all. I thought this would be helpful in acquiring clients who were looking for life coaches, instead nothing happened. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Where do I begin? The leads I received, I don't believe are real. There are so many people desperate for life coaching that no one responds to your requests?

It does not make any sense at all.

I was on Bark for a few days when I got an email for a discounted rate of $90, so I decided okay, how much can that hurt me? Nothing but a loss of $90 plus about 10 credits left - clearly not enough for anyone requesting services.

Also, what is the deal with people asking to spend a higher credit amount when not one coach with common sense would respond if they knew the person was being absolutely serious? So are we made to believe the person asking you to spend 17 credits as opposed to the one asking for 10 credits is more serious about their journey?

It is clear this is where the run around begins when Bark keeps asking you to spend more money on credits towards leads that are fictitious and who knows where the emails are going.

Of course, they don't want to refund the $90 I spent, claiming they don't return funds. Funny because the offer is if you spend money and don't gain any clients, they return your money.

Every now and then, I will get away from having to spend money on BS sites or other retail businesses selling shady products, but it's also clear I didn't do enough research upon spending the $90 which I plan on refuting with my credit card company. Once the money is returned, I will ask them to delete my account, as I don't even see a choice to delete your account and no reason to continue to keep a profile on there, when there’s no one who’s really signed up looking for help. Reminds me of another site (initials AM), which no longer exist who did the same exact thing.

It saddens me when someone has a great idea but decides it's easier to rip people off then actually being a viable business to business in helping others succeed.

When it comes to any site, especially business to business, please do extensive research. It is clear Bark tries to hide these sites on a search engine with other fictitious sites offering, “valued reviews” when they are also just as fake as the leads they offer.

If you are a business owner and found this site, lucky you. Take it from everyone who has offered their own experience, DO NOT use Bark under any circumstances. Save your money and find other means through advertising. Yes, it’s expensive but probably well worth the money.

Best of luck to all! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to like here. It is a platform full of lies and deceit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is an outrageous scam on both the client and the proffessional side. They sent me a free "high-quality" lead, which after contacting told me they placed the advert over a year ago and they keep getting unsolicited quotes since then.

I have never signed up, Bark.com took my details from my Google Business profile and is pawning my business as a legit listed freelancer on their platform.

Since I replyed, I get inuandated with "lead" emails once every 2 minutes, and theyr representatives keep getting in touch with me about "satisfaction guaranteed" promotional packages. They charge £30/lead!!! only to then discover that the leads are never replying as they are as real as the sky is green!

I have no doubt that all theyr 5-star "reviews" are self-generated.

I am honestly shocked they got away with this scam for so long.

Do yourself a favour, and take the £300!!! they ask you for the introductory package alone, which will only give you 10 of their "high-quality" DEAD leads, and spend that on Google advertising.

Honestly, a trully disgusting practice.

And forget about the "satisfaction guarantee", after reading other people's experience, you will NEVER get your money back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing , very misleading, only good thing is the customer service being 24/7 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unfortunately as a starting business and hearing a lot about this and the details online that we were guaranteed job through bark , we bough credit and got in contact with clients , about 4 was people looking for work rather than services which was credit wasted , and all the people we got in contact with , never replied or even being the first to respond to the add they would say they no longer needed service. Total scam don’t fall for it , it was money thrown in the bin because we didn’t get 1 successful lead out of about 20 contacted.

We’ve called , emailed and WhatsApp messaged but nothing . Stay away from this is you care about your money as it is all fake advertisement

Also they advertised a discount of £70 something but ended up charging over £90 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bark.com is a waste of money and has no value in supplying leads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I bought a lead pack for $96 to try Bark.com. I purchased 9 leads with my credits. Of the 9 leads, 2 of the "verified" numbers were disconnected, 2 never answered the phone, and 5 had zero idea about why I was calling and said they had never inquired about the service I provide. When I contacted the company they offered me extra credits to satisfy their "guarantee". The only guarantee I got is that their leads are crappy. When I complained on FB they blocked me. Don't waste your money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They are polite.

They will take your money and promise good referrals, but nohting will come from the exchange because Bark.com does not vet their Referrals! Bark.com does not communicate to any their referrals or verify the identity of any of their Referrals, so the referrals do not list their full name or their full contact information.. When I did contact #10- of the Referrals, #8- Referrals never picked up or return a call-text or email... The two Referrals that I did speak with, neither had any concept of the cost or proceedure to do a Garage Convertion! I explained the pros & cons and cost and schedule, but neither could afford the project! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bark.com has no guarantee of Servicess or any kind of money back exchange!

Honestly, for contractors and handyman, Bark.com are Skam Artists! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use and volume of leads are the only two things that we liked about Bark. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of our recent experiences with Bark.com has left us feeling deeply disappointed. Our Bark pro profile, "The Suitch" was closed on March 15th without any notice. This was very upsetting for us, especially in the context of the circumstances that resulted in it.

At first, we were supposed to have a meeting with our account representative, Tom, to discuss our plan to grow and the ways we could generate more leads with Bark. Unfortunately, Tom had Covid, and we had to reschedule. We had to deal with the problem of time zone difference synchronization and this missed meeting was the only reason they gave us for suspending our account.

Besides, the ground team from Bark in US indicated their skepticisms about app development companies, which could be fraud. We were shocked by this statement and even more so by the lack of any evident provided and also by the absence of any chance offered for us to explain or defend our business.

Our effort to demonstrate our credibility by using client testimonials, reviews that were verified, and financial documents were in vain as we received no response. This failure to communicate has been so frustrating and disappointing.

It has been a problem for us to see the bark.com like a service which we have expected to be a support, turning against us and making our operations look unreliable without a proper discussion or negotiation. As we are still available to answer any queries to demonstrate the authenticity and resolve this matter, but their reluctance to reconsider the decision is disappointing.

Bark.com, with our experience, we highly recommend other businesses to be cautious. The unexpected termination of our account and the disappointing customer service experienced throughout this process have made us realize that this is not a reliable platform for business growth

Stay cautios while dealing with Bark.com. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing. I dont recommned using Bark if anyone is looking for leads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All the leads looks like spam. no response from any of the leads sent to me. I've had an incredibly disappointing experience with Bark, much like many others it seems. I've poured a lot of money into buying job leads, always quick to respond, only to find that the contact information is often incorrect or leads nowhere. It's frustrating to constantly dial wrong numbers or reach people who were merely browsing and didn't intend to become a lead.

It feels like a bit of a scam, honestly. When I take a break from buying leads, suddenly perfect matches pop up, tempting me to spend more. Yet, these too often turn out to be dead ends with fake or unresponsive contacts. It's like throwing money into a black hole.

The lack of customer support only adds insult to injury. There's no straightforward way to report these issues or get help. It's left me feeling cheated and contemplating seeking legal advice. I'm starting to think Bark might be exploiting small businesses like mine, offering false hope with little to no oversight. If you've had a similar experience, I'd be keen to connect and possibly gather evidence to challenge their practices. This company's lack of regulation and transparency is alarming, and it seems designed to take advantage of small businesses desperate for work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bark.com is an absolute SCAM! They post FAKE leads! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

**DO NOT USE BARK.COM - SCAM ALERT!**

Bark.com is an absolute SCAM! They post FAKE leads, and 9 out of 10 times, I got ZERO response despite replying within MINUTES! The site claims to limit responses to 5, but even being the first or second to reply, I got NOTHING. Out-of-service numbers, ignored emails, and texts—Bark.com is a FRAUD! They trick you into buying more credits with fake leads. Customer service is a JOKE, making you wait 20 minutes to restore credits for bogus numbers. They REFUSED to refund my money, claiming I got the service I paid for, which is a LIE! Don't get SCAMMED like I did! Avoid Bark.com at ALL COSTS! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
