* Traditional expert networks obscure their true pricing by charging for “credits”. While the price per credit may be lower, firms like GLG and Guidepoint routinely charge multiple credits per expert call. This makes the true price per call higher. For comparison, Inex One’s prices are only quoted in the currency of your choice (USD, EUR, GBP etc.), with median historic prices being $1,150/h when including "premium" experts.
