Services lead gen (credits)

What it is
Lead-gen via credit purchases; broad categories. From their own pricing page: leads arrive free from the moment you sign up and you pay only to CONTACT a customer, using credits bought in packs; you see the credit cost of a lead before you spend it; what a lead costs is set by the service, the value of the job, and local supply and demand; paying for a lead gets you the customer's phone number and email. They also guarantee your first credit pack: if you win no business from it they return all the credits
What you need
We haven't confirmed
How you get paid
Customer pays; pro buys lead credits
Requirements people miss
you must buy credits before you can contact any customer — there is no way to respond to a lead without spending first
Worker costs
Credit packs — you pay this before you can earn anything. DISCLOSE. Joining is free and leads arrive free, but contacting a customer costs credits that you buy up front in packs. There is no monthly fee and no commission on what you charge — the cost is entirely at the lead stage, and a lead you pay for is a lead, not a booking. The price of contacting a customer varies with the service, the size of the job and local supply and demand, and you see it before you spend. Their first-pack guarantee returns your credits if that pack wins you no business

WORKER-REPORTED, not from Bark: people who have paid for leads here report going through a couple of dozen paid leads before a single booking came out of it, and report paid leads that never replied at all. Treat the credit price of a lead as money you may not get back, and size your first pack accordingly — reported, not confirmed
