* Many traditional expert networks obscure their true pricing by charging for “credits”. While the price per credit may be lower, many expert networks routinely charge multiple credits per expert call. This makes the true price 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. See our explainer on expert network pricing here.
** You may ask them for a pricing quote in two parts:
cost per "credit", for a given number of credits
average credits per 1-hour expert interview
This distinction is important, as expert networks pricing in "credits" routinely charge multiple credits per expert call.
