"Useless leads – many prospects only "accidentally registered""
0/5
What do you like best about Bark.com?

A good idea – really poorly executed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bark.com?

Most leads are useless. Either the prospects signed up by mistake, are financially strapped beyond their budget, or maybe plan to take action in the distant future. Perhaps beginners in the profession actually have a chance to catch a project through bark.com, but only at an amateur level. The €150 for my test account was a bad investment, even after the reset (the provider's guarantee promise) nothing came of it – just 2 vague prospects for a project in 2026. Everything is sh*t, too expensive, a child's birthday party, absolutely not recommended! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Abuse of small businesses"
0/5
What do you like best about Bark.com?

Are you kidding, there is little to like. Apparently it's a great place to work but the staff need to realise they are getting paid on the backs of smaller businesses who are simply getting conned in my personal opinion. If you work for bark you are part of the problem.

THERE IS NOTHING TO LIKE ABOUT IT Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bark.com?

The whole system is setup to make bark.com money which in itself isn't that bad but the amount of wasteful information becomes pointless. The system simply asks basic level questions without leaving key details such as BUDGET for example. The purchase of a lead usually leads into nothing.

I can safely tell you that I have only ever had 2 leads work from this and the 100s from this and previous accounts have been pointless, lack of information.

There is plenty alternatives to this app, for example Addtoevent.co.uk is better and more reasonable platform. Their adverts are also giving a unrealistic representation of costs of services Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Bark.com is a Complete Scam – Stay Far Away!"
0/5
What do you like best about Bark.com?

NOTHING. This is a scam website. Wish I would have seen these reviews before I bought credits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bark.com?

I signed up for Bark.com, hoping to connect with potential clients who were actively seeking my services. What I got instead was a complete waste of time and money. After purchasing 18 leads, here’s what happened:

One person booked a call—only to cancel almost immediately, claiming they “found someone else” within 24 hours. That’s suspiciously fast.

Two people texted me back, but again, same story: “already found someone.”

Fifteen leads? Absolutely dead. No responses, no engagement, nothing. One email even bounced as undeliverable—why is Bark charging for leads that haven’t even been email-verified?

Bark does not require businesses to provide legitimate information like a company email, name, or website, making it impossible to vet these so-called leads before purchasing. If I’m paying premium prices for these contacts, why is Bark making it so difficult to determine if they’re real?

At this point, I strongly suspect Bark is manufacturing fake leads to keep people spending money. The lack of transparency, high costs, and near-zero return make it feel like a blatant scam. I have a few more lead credits left, but after that, I’m done.

If you value your time and money, do not waste it on Bark.com. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Credits stolen and no refund/support form bark"
0/5
What do you like best about Bark.com?

I don't think there are any upsides of using bark, the lead quality is bad, most of the leads that we bought with our money wern't even interested in the service that they posted they needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bark.com?

1 day suddenly we lost almost all of our bark cradits, we tried to get help from bark support but still got no response from them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Unqualified leads/scam leads"
0/5
What do you like best about Bark.com?

It's easy to use but that doesn't say much Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bark.com?

We've purchased 24 leads and only one of those leads turned into an actual job and even that job was a low revenue job.

We consistently need to request credit for bad leads and their answering system even has an option for reporting bad leads because it's so common. Lead quality ranges from no answer, to being told they didn't post on Bark and to stop contacting them, to the lead actually looking for a job. Overall it's been a poor enough experience for me to make the effort to find where I can provide a negative review of our experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Their Starter Pack of credits is only good undeer certain conditions that they do not tell you"
0/5
What do you like best about Bark.com?

Nothing. I received zero business after 4 months of trying to book buisness off their leads. Only 2 of 20 something people even responsed to my email or calls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bark.com?

Customer service would not honor their start pack of credits because I used the wrong payment method? No one answers the phone or email on the leads which tells me they do not exist, are rude, or not serious. I spent almost $400 with no bookings before I decided this was not a good use of my money or time. I would not recommend them based on my experience. Their solution to my complaint was to spend more money. No..... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Bad leads and Fraudulent competition."
0/5
What do you like best about Bark.com?

i got one huge lead in 2019 (this review is 11/2024) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bark.com?

many leads are fraudulent either somoene not actually existing, or someone actually looking for a job employment instead of someone to do a job for them.

I managed to pull a list of who else is using the platform as a "pro" and many of the users were operating fraudulently without license and insurance as there is no vetting for EITHER side.

When i get ahold of someone and find out they are not a valid lead bark refuses to except a recorded phone call in any way while still demanding proof. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
