Is it just me or was it not clear that this would cost money?

  You're not alone... where does it say that? If I had known I wouldn't have signed up. But it makes sense from the perspective of attracting mentors, though to some degree I think you'd get more engagement if it was only volunteer (studies show professionals are way more likely to do work for pro bono than middling amounts of money)

  I think that's the difference in terminology between "mentor" and "tutor." With "tutor" it's clear that you are going to be paying for tutelage. A mentorship is supposed to be an ongoing relationship with a single individual that is not necessarily fee-based --someone you just have a chat with and get advice from. This seems less like a mentor site and more like either a tutor site or a contractor site where you are getting contracted help on problems or understanding.

  Same. I signed up before I saw this and I probably wouldn't have too. Not one mention of charges on the whole website.
