What makes Affly different

The differences that actually affect your bottom line.

Exclusive leads, not shared

On Bark, the same lead goes to multiple businesses. You're racing to respond before your competitors. On Affly, every verified lead is delivered to one business only. No competition, no race.

Verified before you pay

Every Affly lead passes a 6-layer verification process - phone validation, OTP confirmation, duplicate detection, fraud analysis, intent confirmation, and scoring. You only pay for leads that clear all six.

No upfront credit packs

Bark requires you to buy credits before you can even contact a lead. Affly charges nothing upfront - you pay per verified lead as they come in. Set your own budget cap and pause anytime.

Full audit trail on every lead

Bark gives you a name and number. Affly gives you a complete verification record - OTP timestamp, IP address, fraud score, intent signals. If you dispute a lead, the evidence is already there.

The problem with shared leads

What happens on Bark

  • The same lead is sent to up to 5 businesses simultaneously
  • You pay credits just to see contact details - even if the lead never responds
  • No way to verify if the enquiry was genuine before you spend
  • Limited visibility into lead quality or verification status
  • Winning the lead often depends on who responds fastest, not who's best

The Affly approach

What happens on Affly

  • Every lead is delivered exclusively to one business
  • You only pay after the lead passes 6-layer verification
  • OTP-confirmed phone number on every single lead
  • Full audit trail with fraud scores, timestamps, and intent signals
  • You're the only business that lead hears from - higher conversion, better experience
