* 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.
