Pricing
Short answer
You pay the expert's price plus a flat 15% booking fee. Each expert sets their own price within one range per product, the same in every country, and your exact price is shown before you pay. Consultations can be cancelled free up to 24 hours before; for document checks we pay the expert only after you approve the report.
Draft ranges, the same in every country, confirmed with experts before bookings open. Bookings open country by country as verified experts are ready.

Questions about paying
When do I pay?
Once, when you book, on a secure Motherland page. Consultations: paid securely, cancel free up to 24 hours before, and a full refund if the expert can't make it. Document checks: you pay Motherland; we pay the expert only after you approve the report.
What if I don't approve a document check?
Tell us what's missing. The expert completes the agreed report, or the Motherland Promise applies.
Can I get a refund?
If the agreed scope isn't delivered, we reassign the job at no extra cost, or refund the expert price and the booking fee.
What if I need something that isn't listed?
Book a consultation. If you need more work, the expert can send you a quote on Motherland, and the consultation price counts towards it.
