Understanding Our Pricing Structure
At Review My Hinge, we aim for transparency in how our review services are priced. This guide explains the components of the price you see when purchasing a review package.
Reviewer's Base Price: Set by the Experts
Each reviewer on our platform sets their own base price for the packages they offer (e.g., Basic Text Review, Video Review). This base price reflects their expertise, the effort involved, and the value they provide. You'll see this base price influencing the final package cost.
Review My Hinge Platform Fee: Keeping the Platform Running
To operate, maintain, and continually improve the Review My Hinge platform, including features, security, and support, we add a platform service fee to the reviewer's base price. This fee is currently 20% of the reviewer's base price.
Example Calculation
Reviewer's Base Price:
$20.00
Platform Fee (20%):
$4.00
Price before app store commissions:
$24.00
In-App Purchase Considerations: App Store Commissions
When you purchase a review through our iOS or Android mobile app, Apple (App Store) and Google (Play Store) also apply their own commission (typically 30%) on the transaction value (after our platform fee is added).
Pricing Tiers
To comply with app store requirements, the final price you see in the app is mapped to predefined pricing tiers set by Apple or Google. This means the in-app price might be slightly different (often rounded up to the nearest available tier) than if you were to purchase directly on our website (if web purchases are available).
Transparency
Regardless of the final price paid through an app store, the reviewer's earning is always calculated as 80% of their originally set base price.
What You See at Checkout: Final Price
The price displayed to you at checkout is the total amount you will pay. This includes:
The Reviewer's Base Price
Review My Hinge's Platform Fee
(For In-App Purchases) Adjustments to meet Apple/Google pricing tiers and their commission
Any applicable sales taxes based on your location
Sharing Credits & Discounts: Using Your Credits
If you've earned a 'sharing credit' by previously allowing a review (from a specific reviewer who offers this incentive) to be shared anonymously, this credit will be automatically applied when you purchase another review from that same reviewer. The discount amount is set by the reviewer (e.g., $5.00) and will reduce your total price at checkout. The credit is applied to the reviewer's base price before other fees are calculated.
Currency
All prices on the Review My Hinge platform are displayed and processed in US Dollars (USD).
No Hidden Fees
We believe in transparent pricing. The price you see at checkout is the final amount you will be charged for that specific review package.
