Hi Michael,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback—we’re really sorry to hear about your experience. We understand how frustrating it must have been for the professional to arrive and then leave without completing the job or providing any communication.

We’d really like the opportunity to look into this further for you. Please contact us at reviews@bark.com with the details of the job and the professional involved so our team can investigate this matter properly.

Useful Platform, But Unfair Funeral Pricing
Bark may be useful for weddings, where leads are reasonably priced, but for funerals the pricing feels unfair and excessive. On average I’m charged around 6 credits for a wedding lead, yet 29 credits for a funeral lead. Their explanation is that I can “get more leads” from a funeral booking, but that logic is disappointing and out of touch. Funeral enquiries come from families in vulnerable, emotional situations — it shouldn’t be treated as a premium-priced sales opportunity.
As a service provider, I’d like to see fairer and more ethical pricing across all categories.
Overall Bark has been very valuable to my business despite this issue.

Your feedback is important, and we’ll be sure to share it with the relevant team as we continue reviewing pricing structures and how they align with both professionals’ expectations and customer needs.

I love the lead gen
I love the lead gen. The thing I’d love to see to make this better would be as leads age out, say 2-4 weeks after posting, typically once the speaker has been chosen, make those leads free so we can establish a relationship with them. I’ve talked to many a client who stopped using Bark bc they weren’t getting good out reach, and yes their budget and topic play a role, but when they say they only came back out of necessity that’s not a good long term growth model for Bark.

Hi Jesse,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback—we really appreciate your thoughtful insights.
We’re glad to hear that you value the lead generation aspect of Bark. Your suggestion around making older leads available at no cost is a very interesting idea, especially in terms of helping professionals build relationships and improve long-term engagement.
We also appreciate your perspective on client behaviour and how outreach quality and expectations can impact their experience. Feedback like this is incredibly valuable, and we’ll be sure to share it with the relevant team as we continue working to improve the platform for both professionals and customers.

I thought I was just trying Bark on a trial with some credits, but later discovered I’d been put on an ongoing Elite Pro subscription that kept billing me without me realising. The main dashboard often showed I wasn’t subscribed, and I don’t recall any clear emails or warnings that the free trial had converted into a paid plan. Support cancelled the subscription but only refunded the last month, refusing to refund earlier charges even though I barely used the service and clearly didn’t understand I was still subscribed.

Hi Samuel,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback—we’re really sorry to hear about your experience and understand how concerning this must feel.
We take concerns around subscriptions, billing transparency, and account visibility very seriously. We’re sorry to hear that the transition from trial to a paid plan was not clear, and that the dashboard did not reflect your subscription status as expected. This is not the experience we aim to provide.
We also understand your frustration regarding the refund outcome. While refunds are handled in line with our policies, we appreciate that this may not have aligned with your expectations, and your feedback will be shared with the relevant team.
If you’d like, we’d be happy to review your account and billing history again to ensure everything has been handled correctly and provide further clarity. Please feel free to contact us at reviews@bark.com with your details.
