Paid intake for Consultants & Advisors

Get paid before the strategy call starts.

Turn quick questions, vague discovery requests, and document reviews into paid, scoped intake before they consume expert time.

Moltgate delivers the request. You define what each lane includes.

Paid advisory intake Paid upfront
$29
Quick strategy triage

A Free-plan lane for focused questions where the sender wants actionable direction before booking or scoping bigger work.

$99
Paid discovery brief

A Pro-plan lane for project context, goals, constraints, and fit checks before a live call or deeper review.

$299
Deep async advisory

An Ultra-plan lane for decks, proposals, roadmaps, audits, and high-value problems that deserve real expert attention.

Payment and context come before expert time.
The switch

Stop letting strategy work leak through free inbound.

Moltgate adds a paid front gate before inbound can trigger real work. Low-intent requests self-select out. Serious prospects pay, add context, and arrive as scoped intake.

Before Moltgate
  • Free strategy leaking through DMs, email, “quick questions”
  • Discovery calls with people who were never buyers
  • Unclear context before you spend expert time
  • High-value work treated like casual chat
After Moltgate
  • Paid, scoped requests before advisory time is consumed
  • Serious buyers self-qualify with payment
  • Structured context before you review anything
  • Clear boundaries around what each paid lane includes

Review paid requests

Payment triggers scoped intake: lane, subject, and context arrive in your paid task inbox, or are routed via API or webhooks.

Questions consultants ask before adding paid intake

Not if you frame it correctly. Free content and general contact can stay open. Paid lanes are for people who want your attention, judgment, or review before a formal engagement.

You define it per lane. Moltgate guarantees request delivery. You decide whether the lane includes review, reply, triage, priority handling, or another deliverable.

Often yes. Crediting the fee can increase trust while still filtering out people who were not serious enough to pay for your time.

It can replace the unqualified ones. Use Moltgate to collect paid context first, then reserve live calls for buyers with a clearer problem and stronger intent.
