Checked on 10 November 2026By Blinx TeamHow we compare

Keep Bark for new work if it pays: it sends buyers in many categories, paid in credits for each contact, £1.80 each in the UK, VAT basis not published. A Blinx page is for the customers you already have, with nothing to pay per enquiry and no quota: $5 a month or $46.80 a year, plus VAT at 20% for UK businesses, after a 15-day trial with no card. Blinx brings no buyers; it is the complement, not the replacement.

Full comparison

Blinx and Bark, row by row

Every answer is in words, and the same answer looks the same on both sides. Blinx's plan limits sit in its own cells; Bark's column describes its Marketplace plan, and its $0 plan where it differs.

**Checked on 10 November 2026. Blinx's prices are before VAT. Each Bark price carries the tax basis its own page gives, or says it gives none, so the two may not be on the same basis.** How we chose these rows: 9 are the same on every comparison (price, the $0 plan, trial and card, one page or several, own domain, and what happens if you stop paying). The other 5 are rows for lead marketplaces and listing sites: features Bark's own pages list, and features Blinx has, each answered for both: "No, checked" where a product has nothing like it, "Not published" where Bark's pages do not mention it.

Which to choose

Bark on its own, or with a Blinx page

Both lists are meant to be fair. Each reason given for Blinx is a checked difference, numbered to its source.

Bark on its own is enough if

You want new buyers sent to you, in many categories, in the UK, the US, Canada and Australia¹
You are happy to pay for each contact in credits, with credits back if your first pack wins nothing¹
You run a UK cleaning business and want Marketplace's monthly quota of enquiries, with masked-number calls and AI call summaries²

Add a Blinx page if

You want nothing to pay per enquiry from customers who already know you; Bark charges credits for each contact¹
You want your page to stay up if you stop paying; a Marketplace profile leaves search once a cancelled subscription runs out⁵

Bark and Blinx: the usual questions

Are Bark leads worth it?

That depends on your trade and how often the contacts you pay for become work. Bark charges credits for each contact, £1.80 each in the UK, VAT basis not published, and gives credits back if your first pack wins nothing. If it brings you work that pays, keep it, and give repeat customers a page of their own, where an enquiry costs nothing per contact.

What is Bark Marketplace?

A monthly plan with a quota of enquiries, so far for some UK cleaning trades: cleaners £29 to £129, end-of-tenancy £39 to £169, and roof and gutter cleaners £35 to £159 a month, before VAT, as Bark's help showed on 10 November 2026. It adds masked-number calls with recordings and AI call summaries.

Do Bark credits expire?

Bark's help says credits bought since 1 November 2025 expire after 3 months. A Blinx page has no credits: one monthly or yearly price covers every enquiry, and on Pro you see each one in your inbox.

Can my Google reviews show on Bark and on Blinx?

Yes. Bark brings your Google reviews in to your profile, refreshed every 30 days on Marketplace. A Blinx page shows your Google rating and the first three reviews Google shows, refreshed weekly while you pay or have a card saved.

Blinx in brief

$5 a month or $46.80 a year in US dollars, plus VAT at 20% for UK businesses, after a 15-day trial with no card. A page you do not pay for after the trial stays live on the basic plan, with fewer features. Stop paying at any time and nothing is deleted.
