What is JustAnswer?

JustAnswer is an online platform that enables people to get questions answered by a network of over 12,000 verified experts in a range of fields. Users post their questions, and JustAnswer connects them with an appropriate expert, who will gather additional information as needed to provide an answer. Conversations can be had via chat, phone call, text or other means.

Experts go through a rigorous verification and training process to ensure you’re getting legitimate help. Users can ask questions at any time and receive a direct response.

How does JustAnswer work?

Get started with JustAnswer by creating an account on the company's website. Once you create an account, you get 24/7 access to experts in more than 150 categories. JustAnswer partners with verified doctors, lawyers, veterinarians, mechanics and other professionals to give you quality, one-on-one advice.

JustAnswer pairs you with an expert based on the topic of your question and gives you an unlimited back-and-forth conversation until you have an answer. All of JustAnswer’s experts go through an eight-step verification process, third-party screening and training.

JustAnswer’s average initial response time is six minutes, and the company notifies you by email or text when your question has a response. The company claims most questions are answered in under 30 minutes, including any clarification needed by the expert. If you’re not satisfied with your expert’s advice or want another opinion, JustAnswer gives you a free second opinion from a different expert.

It’s worth noting that JustAnswer does save transcripts of conversations and makes them available on its website for others to reference. However, these are posted anonymously, with the user’s name redacted.

What do JustAnswer members receive?

JustAnswer uses a monthly subscription model. Members have access to:

  • Unlimited questions and answers

How much does JustAnswer cost?

JustAnswer charges a refundable, one-time join fee that ranges from $5 to $25, plus a monthly membership fee from $28 to $125 (interestingly enough, tutors are the most expensive category of expert). Any additional charges you incur show up on the page where you enter your payment information. You can review your fees and payments by logging into your JustAnswer account and clicking on “Order History.”

Unfortunately, there isn’t a way to pay for a single question. Memberships can be canceled at any time, and the company suggests signing up for a month, getting your question answered, and then canceling your membership before it renews.

For customer service, including help with billing or refunds, contact JustAnswer’s Customer Care team at 800-808-0645.

    I had a very unusual problem and it was a difficult one to resolve. When my first attempt. Was not able to be resolved. I was referred to a second opinion again it was not resolved. I was in transferred to a third-party who was able to solve the problem while it was a long process. The result was wonderful and I was very impressed that when at first it didn’t succeed I was referred to someone for a different perspective and again another one with a third my problem was resolved with a new perspective. What impressed me was they did not give up on me when they were not able to solve the problem. They did what they could, and then referred me to another person until finally, it was resolved. I am grateful they did not give up on me.

      Dustin responded immediately when I sent my question. He stuck with my questions on how to do what he suggested and I also learned a lot. He told me that "deleting data" wasn't the best choice. He patiently taught me how to navigate my VeeSee Box. We messaged for a long time, and made progress. By then it was very late so I asked to stop for the night. Today I found a text from him, following up to see if I needed more help. Before signing in again, I followed a couple of his suggestions to make further corrections.

      Lastly I went online and asked one more question regarding how to undo "delete data" I had clicked yesterday. That told me how to stop the data delete, and change it to the correct term. After that I checked the Apps we use, it seems they are now working correctly. No more error messages and indefinite stoppages. The technicians at Just Answer are very well informed and patient. I have used this service for years and always leave feeling they solved my problem.

I had to how to do things on the phone, because I don’t normally use it other than to talk or text lol. He explained everything very clearly to me, and didn’t make me feel like I was stupid for not knowing how to use my phone. Sometimes on a phone you can get the wrong impression, but I felt comfortable talking with him, and letting him know that I didn’t know how to do certain tasks on my phone. He just seemed very polite and nice, and easy to talk to.

      Reviewed Sept. 5, 2026

      I thought I was paying around $7 USD to sign up, but the bill came back indicating that I not only signed up, but also *joined a full membership* for another $70, and also that I will be billed again and again automatically each month. None of this was clear to me, so I am a bit shocked. I have no complaints about the service or the website, but the payment setup was very deceitful. I might cancel at the end of the month, because I don't like surprises when it comes to payment. As for the service: First, the layout of the website is very easy to navigate. It's very easy to access the conversation, and to start a new conversation. Second, the attorney, Phillip, seemed totally dedicated to patiently answering my questions, totally focused and with me. He totally understood my problem, reiterated it, and set me on a path from being lost and panicked to calmly, rationally dealing with it, armed with a proper plan. I no longer feel alone in my battle. Thank you.

      I was directed to this company because I mistakenly ordered four orders of groceries yesterday from Super 1/ Brookshires instead of one order. First time that this has happened to me Thank GOD. Two of the orders were cancelled and refunded. The status of the other two orders was unknown. The Staff of Just Answer was very helpful with understanding my problem and guiding me to a resolution. I was directed to a technician for further assistance. However, I had difficulty understanding him because of my hearing loss and his very heavy accent.

      Despite my situation he was able to write a very detailed and accurate summary which was very helpful to me. I initially gave Just Answer and their technician a low rating which was my fault. I recant that rating and change my rating to five stars for the staff and four stars for the technician because of his very heavy accent that prevented me from understanding his words, Also, the audio/ volume was too low during our conversation.

      Hello Michele,

      I'm sorry the rep told you he could resolve this and then wasn't able to. Getting through to a person, believing you're finally in the right hands, and ending the chat with the same problem you started with is a disappointing way to spend ten minutes.

      We've located your account and the $67 has been refunded, with the membership cancelled so nothing further will be billed. You'll see the refund in 3 to 5 business days, and there's nothing more you need to do on your end

      Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you still need help.

      Best regards,
