Everyone uses Google for minor medical-related questions — but for specific and credible Q&A, Pearl.com says it is the place to visit. Pearl.com has about 10,000 experts in 700 specialties that the site’s creators verify to make sure they are current and legitimate legal and medical professionals. In fact, all professionals on the site must go through an eight-step process, including background checks and a test to prove their skills. For the professionals on the site, answering questions can be a part or full time job paying as much as $40,000 per year.

Pearl.com was formerly Justanswer.com, started by Andy Kurtzig eight years ago, and had 10.5 million unique monthly visitors. But now, he tells Mashable, the site does a lot more than just answer questions, hence the name change and redesign.

For the users asking questions, each question cost $30 for non subscribers, but for subscribers, $49-$99 per month (depending on the category) grants you unlimited questions and access to the site’s archive. If a user signs up for a $49 per month subscription they can ask unlimited question within a specific category. For $99, a user can ask unlimited question in any category. Customers set the price based on how much information they want and the professional they’re relying on for answers (lawyers charge more than doctors, for example).

“Now they have a place to go to get real professional help whenever they need it,” he said. “We make a real, tangible difference in human lives.”
