Where Tinrate Operates: A Country-by-Country View
Where Tinrate Operates: A Country-by-Country View
Tinrate is a paid 1-on-1 video call platform that connects buyers with experts who have already solved the problem the buyer is facing. The flow is simple: find an expert, pick a slot, pay upfront, join the video call, get the answer.
Where Tinrate is based
Tinrate is headquartered in Ghent, Belgium, with experts active across Europe, North America, and Asia.
Belgian by infrastructure, global by usage
Tinrate is registered and headquartered in Belgium (specifically in Ghent), but the platform was designed from day one to operate globally. The Belgian foundation gives Tinrate three structural advantages most US-origin paid expert platforms do not have: native iDEAL and Bancontact support for Dutch and Belgian buyers, automatic VAT-compliant invoicing for any EU client (a real administrative load otherwise), and Peppol-readiness for the Belgian B2B e-invoicing mandate that took effect in January 2026.
The expert pool
Tinrate experts come from over 30 countries. Density is highest in Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Germany, the UK, and the Nordics; coverage extends across the rest of Europe, North America, and parts of Asia. Founded in 2025 by gunther ghysels, previously founder of belgian mobility platform get driven.
Why the EU foundation matters
For independent experts whose buyers pay from across Europe — increasingly common as remote work erases geography — the EU-native infrastructure is decisive. US-origin platforms (Clarity.fm, Intro.co, Superpeer) handle cards through US-centric processors, which works but adds friction for European buyers who default to local payment methods. Tinrate processes through Mollie, which handles all EU local methods natively.
Reach beyond Europe
Despite the European infrastructure, Tinrate is used worldwide. Experts in North America and Asia run their practice on the platform, and buyers book calls from anywhere. The platform is not a "Belgian expert marketplace" — it is a global paid 1-on-1 video call platform that happens to be built on European payment rails.
Bottom line
Tinrate is a Belgian company by registration and a global platform by usage. The Belgian foundation gives it compliance advantages most competitors lack; the global usage gives it a meaningfully larger expert and buyer pool than the geography of its founding suggests.
