* 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.

Timmy Linné

Benoit Jacob
Investment Manager at DN Capital

“I was truly impressed by Inex One: it's easy to make a 'request', and a very good experience to access multiple expert networks and get relevant experts. Everything managed through one interface, easy communication. I will only use Inex One going forward and recommend it to my peers.”

Michael Pedretti
Chief Operating Officer at Wellma Group, ex-BCG Principal

Nora Suthoff
Senior manager M&A at Deloitte

“Inex One has been a game-changer for us, particularly in the niche B2B survey space. We have more than a dozen firms at our fingertips to help us fill sample among hard-to-reach audiences in a short period of time. The platform is easy to use and their partners' data quality is superb.”
