Question 1

What exactly is Tinrate?

Accepted Answer

Tinrate is where you find the person who has already solved your problem and book them in two clicks. Search by role, sector, or expertise. See real availability, real rates, real profiles. No cold outreach, no back-and-forth, no wondering who to ask. For experts, one profile handles everything: bookings, payments, and invoicing, so the conversation stays the focus. The right conversation is one search away.

Question 2

How is this different from just DMing someone?

Accepted Answer

DMs get ignored. Experts are flooded with free requests. On Tinrate, your booking comes with a payment which means you get taken seriously, you get on their calendar, and you actually get the call.

Question 3

What kind of experts can I find on Tinrate?

Accepted Answer

Business strategists, lawyers, tax advisors, tech founders, finance experts, coaches, AI specialists — real professionals with real track records. Not influencers selling courses. People who've built, scaled, and solved what you're dealing with.

Question 4

How much does a call cost?

Accepted Answer

Every expert sets their own rate. You'll see the price upfront before you book. Rates typically range from €50 to €500+ depending on the expert's experience and domain.

Question 5

Can I book a call just to ask one question?

Accepted Answer

Yes. That's exactly what this is for. You don't need a project, a retainer, or a contract. One call, one question, one clear answer.

Question 6

What if the expert doesn't show up?

Accepted Answer

Payment is held until the call happens. If the expert cancels or doesn't show, you get a full refund. You never pay for a call that didn't happen.

Question 7

How do I know the expert is actually good?

Accepted Answer

Every profile shows the expert's background, experience, rate, and reviews from previous callers. You can read exactly what other people got out of their session before you book.

Question 8

Is my payment secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Payments are processed through Mollie, one of Europe's leading payment providers. We support Bancontact, iDEAL, credit card, and more. Everything is encrypted and PSD2-compliant.

Question 9

How do I book a call?

Accepted Answer

Pick an expert, choose an available time slot, pay, and you're done. You'll get a calendar invite with a video link. The whole thing takes under 2 minutes.

Question 10

What happens after I pay?

Accepted Answer

You immediately receive a confirmation email and a calendar invite with the video call link. The expert gets notified too. Show up at the scheduled time and the call starts.

Question 11

Can I reschedule?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each expert sets their own cancellation and rescheduling policy, which you'll see before booking. Most allow free rescheduling up to 24 hours in advance.

Question 12

Why should I pay for advice I could Google?

Accepted Answer

Google gives you generic answers. An expert gives you answers for your specific situation, in 30 minutes, with follow-up. The difference between reading about fundraising and having a VC tell you what's wrong with your deck — that's what you're paying for.

Question 13

I don't know which expert to pick.

Accepted Answer

Use the search bar to describe what you need help with. Our system matches you to the most relevant experts based on your problem, not just keywords. You can also browse by category.
