Bark for Professionals

It’s too bad they don’t vet there leads more. I’ve been on here almost a year and spent more than I have made from my two small gigs that I’ve gotten. Pretty lame app

The customer service is rude to you they don’t even try to help you. When I first signed up I payed the $135 for 40 credits, bark sends me an email 30 minutes late offering a 84 credit for the SAME PRICE. I called to have them fix this because HELLO it’s common sense and she was already coming off rude and said no? Like that’s weird as a first time customer. But I see their game plan they want you to spend more and that’s when you get the email late. They have a lot of fake leads on there as well. Customer service is the worst. They deleted my profile without my consent LEGIT NO REASON. This all happened in a matter of 30 minutes sign up to getting my profile deleted. They kept my $135 I got no leads out of it . AVOID THESE SCAMMERS AND FAKE REVIEWS ON HERE

I’m a professional caterer and I’ve used other platforms in the past that are extremely useful this app unfortunately is more beneficial for the app than the professional. They don’t update a client has canceled postponed or already got their event booked and let the professionals keep bidding on jobs that aren’t even available anymore. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this app.

Many fake leads. The competitor made me a more grateful human. $600 down the drain. I would sue lol

The cost per lead is ridiculous and overly expensive. Y’all want people to pay $65 for 20 credits when one lead cost 15-16 credits.

I’m a DJ and spend hundreds of dollars a month on people who are either “just curious/looking”, are minors (who cannot be legally responsible or sign a contract), or people who are taking some kind of class using this app as part of their “class project”. Also, the amount of credits required for each job is all over the place and very inconsistent. 70% of jobs I respond to don’t even view my profile. I wish there was something done to make the app and service a little more reliable for people who offer services like mine. And yes, I’ve paid for the premium and other services and it’s still the same crapshoot.

Don't waste your money and time. Bark works with completely unqualified leads and 99% of the time, I paid for the leads within the first few minutes, and the “client” never responded. In other words, I threw money away.

I have been on bark off and on for a few years hoping for better. After all this time you would think that you could vet jobs better. We run a security company and we constantly get post from people looking for jobs or fake accounts. No matter what suggestions we give you. You don’t take them. At this point I’ve been trying to work with you so long that I can tell the fake leads better than your system. We spend a lot for a few credits that get ate up after a few responses that we never hear from. Your credits are TOO EXPENSIVE. I know what you’re going to say. “Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience. All our leads go through background checks and additional verification to ensure quality.” Like I said I’ve been trying to work with you for years and you continue to disappoint with expensive credits and leads you think are verified. I can tell by emails and no explanation of what a lead wants that it’s not a good lead. Suggestion! Either drop your credit price or find a better verification system. No, sorry. Do both.

Don’t waste your money as I did. I paid for leads to be able to work. After my first, initial 60 credit. All of them were scam, artist except for maybe two people. Park says that they verify the clients looking for work. But they do not. I don’t have money or time to waste, trying to verify and talk to these scammers. I told bark about the issue and they did nothing about it. I have screenshots from the scammers. They use the same property addresses. They just change the names. Park Hass to do a better job to keep the scammers off of their app trying to send out fake checks to be cashed in unsuspecting service workers accounts.

As a life coach, I found this app to be a complete waste of money. The platform's users are generally uneducated about different modalities, they’ll seek coaching when they actually need therapy, and tend to be very flaky and unresponsive. Despite receiving notifications that clients have requested quotes, they often fail to engage further. Save your money and look elsewhere.
