spent way too much money on here, and have not booked a thing... used this for my other company years ago and it was great. Now when I call leads, I get same voice message on every number that no one is available and when I leave a voicemail or text no one ever gets back to me... think I'm leaving BARK. Been on Thumbtack less than a week and booked over $5000 In 3 days.. no brainer. Even set up an appointment with Bark to get on a monthly credit payment plan and no one got back to me.

It could be good. Greed, misinformation, and a touchy app that purchases things without confirmations are all evident. This has the potential to be better than Thumbtack, if they took what they do right, and improved I what they do wrong. With this, you have to pay just to bid, Thumbtack you only pay if they respond. This ends up being 6 or 7 times more expensive. On top of that, it appears unlimited pros can send and contact customers... So they get bombarded with calls, emails and messages. Unlike Thumbtack where there is a limit. And there is no description of the job until you pay. I read a review that ended with this, and it's dead accurate from what I've seen so far: "the only one that wins from this model is Bark"

As a bookkeeper in Colorado Springs, I filled out their online profile, and my inbox and phone were loaded up with potential leads. Cost me $425 for their internal credits to bid on jobs. I bid on several of them, but I never had any type of response. Bark refused to return any credits from their get hired guarantee, except for the job I wasn't qualified to do. My advice is to spend money on Google ads or next-door ads. You might actually get a response from a potential client!
