No, In my opinion it does not mean a thing. Perhaps you are getting someone true to their pictures, but I have booked providers that were high end and wasn't impressed with their looks or performance and I have worked with providers in the 300-400 rate that can blow any high end one I've seen off the water. To me it's the same thing regardless of the price, don't let the $$$ amount fool you. This was a question that was actually asked by me a while back under general discussion and the majority said the same thing... it doesn't matter. The provider sets her price based on what she feels she's worth.
I base my price on the economy, if I want to make money I have to look at the going price and the economy, even if I feel I'm worth a grand an hr I wouldn't charge it because most likely I'll only see only 4 ppl a month. To me pricing has a lot to do with the economy,state and availability. If you are in NYC chances are the girls will charge a bit more than she would elsewhere. If you go to a place where it's difficult to find providers chances are those providers will be expensive base on the location. So Just keep that in mind, everywhere is different. Just because she's a 1 grand an hr doesn't mean you will get a stellar performance, personality and/or model material. The same way you can't assume a provider that charges 300/hr is low tier or low end, it's just a numeric value. I know a provider that's established, that's beautiful, that has over 300 reviews, always gives her clients extra time (Off the clock) that could definitely be charging anywhere from 800-1000/an hr (I actually think people would pay it) and she's only 300 an hr so everything is open to interpretation.
Some providers want to be low volume and keep their prices higher for that purpose others just want volume. Personally during the week I want volume (ideally) during the weekend (Friday,Sat) I'm not looking for volume so my prices are a bit higher than on a week day, that's because I don't host on weekends, so to make it it worth my while my rates increase.
Hey if you have a 1g to spend on a provider go for it, if I had it like that I would probably test the waters again. Do your research, look up that price range on reviews and just start comparing. Compare a provider that starts at 300 to a provider that starts at 1 grand/hr. What are the similarities and what are the differences?
These are all opinions at the end of the day, therefore, no one is going to answer you better than experience itself, book a provider at 1 grand an hr and then book one that's less and see what you learn.
